Most people are hesitant to order from an online bridal gown/bridesmaid gown website like HouseofBrides.com. I know I was…until I saw that the bridesmaids’ dresses that we wanted were $60 cheaper online than in-store and I said…why not?
Bill Levkoff #455, House of Brides.com
We scoured the net for a dress we liked and found this style, Bill Levkoff #455, and my bridesmaid tracked it down at her nearest bridal shop, tried it on, and loved it. She inquired about the particular color we wanted, Euro Grey, and was able to see the COLOR of the dress in person, which was really really important, just for peace of mind. Both the dress and the color were both lovely, so we went for it.
Ordering from HouseofBrides.com is pretty straightforward. Using the measuring guide they provide you (guides vary based on the designer you choose) you can send your bridesmaids out to get measured by a local tailor or a seamstress in the family. Everyone reported back their sizes and I sent off the order. HouseofBrides.com advises that dresses take 12-16 weeks for standard delivery of shipment. Due to poor planning, I ordered dresses at the 17 week mark before our wedding, meaning, at the latest, the dresses would arrive only 1 week before the wedding. Eep!
The dresses arrived in only 8 weeks, which was a lifesaver. It’s probably best to plan much further ahead than I did, but I did luck out on that one. Miss Cherryblossom also ordered her dresses from them and they arrived around the 8 week mark as well. My experience was fabulous. Smooth sailing all the way from order to delivery! And at a 30% savings from retail price!
I took a picture of one of the dresses (my FSIL’s) and its no fun just staring at a dress on a hanger…
So I quickly tried it on myself. Did I shower today? Maybe not. But Ann, we’re almost family now. You smell that? Thats the smell of hard work. And Asians. Get used to it.

Once again, Peng stands on the toilet to take pictures for you. The investment in a full length mirror has yet to be made.
Now….what color shoes should the girls wear? Hmm…
