"I really, really wanted to love this dress! Instead, it would be a stretch to say that I even like it. I received my dress today and the packaging was dirty, but it was wrapped tightly in plastic so i thought it would be OK. I opened the box and the dress was inside out and i thought, this dress is gonna look great! The packaging including a carrying bag, zippered dress bag, and a drawstring bag along with a nice pic of the dress. I looked at the fabric once turned right side out, and it looked dingy but I didn't let that stop me. I tried the dress on and there appeared to be spots missing ruffles. The spots where they sewed "flowers", i could easily see the haphazard threading that was barely holding the flowers on. The ruffle details on the bodice was far too wide and gave a swelled chest appearance. The overall appearance of the dress on was one of overwhelming ruffles instead of a funky modern look for a reception dress. I would actually rather wear the dress inside out than the other way around. It looks like they bought a premade straight dress and just hurried up and smacked anything on it and sent it out at the last minute. My order was confirmed by February 6 and I received it today, April 3rd! Far too long of a wait for the level of poor quality! There is no way to salvage this dress without removing all of the ruffles off the premade shell and starting over! That would cost way more than I payed for it so I just want my money back. I did not come with tags on it and I hope they don't use that not to give me my full refund! I would give it a zero but I can't! They wouldn't post my review on the website because it would skew the ratings! After I submitted it, it didn't post. My guest is that they screen the reviews and only post great reviews (which I don't know how they got)!"

"My awful experience with SimplyBridal....but note, I never actually received my gown, so I can't speak to the quality. After many issues with the order process (my initial order was "lost" and had to be re-placed several days later). I was told it couldn't be rushed even with the order delays. I finally got the order placed on Feb 6th. With a 30-35 day order time, it would be tight, but should arrive for my March 24th wedding...and the CS reps assured me I should be fine. After all, EVERYONES reviews said it arrived on schedule. Wrong. On the 35th day, my order still hadn't shipped (yes, they come from China). I was given an email address to contact for a more specific ship date. 8 days after emailing her, I still have no response, and my wedding is in 7 days. I received an email 3 days ago that my order won't arrive until mid-April!!! No phone calls or notifications before this. Due to high sales volumes, orders are taking 8-9 weeks! If you're on a schedule, DON'T order from SimplyBridal. I am so disappointed and was shocked that they accepted my order cancellation without so much as an apology."

"High quality dresses made to order, even in my weird size! the fabric is beautiful and not cheap feeling. Customer service was great- they call to check in and make sure you are happy with everything and fill you in on your order status. I would recommend them to anyone who is budget savvy and needs an absolutely wonderful handmade dress."

"They have a great selection of dresses and very reasonable prices. I love that in the details for the dress they tell you what body types the dress will look best on. Because honestly I love mermaid dresses, but I don't have the body type for it :)"

Personally I found difficult all procedure of the website especially size guide but I love their collection and design. When my dress arrived i was surprised it was beautiful. embroidery, fabric, frills and fitting even everything was perfect. i love my dress. I will suggest this website to all my friends."

"Having been married once before, and choosing my dress in a traditional shop, I decided to try something new for my 2nd marriage 7 weeks ago. My best friend recommended simplybridal.com for wedding dresses, and after reading all of the glowing reviews, I decided to give it a go.
Firstly, the attractiveness and simplicity of the site was refreshing, perhaps a bit bland in some places but easy enough to use and friendly on the eye. Selecting a dress was straightforward too, after browsing through about 15 I found one I absolutely loved, so I ordered it.
The dress came quickly, and when I tried it on...well, it was stunning, a flawless dress.
So, although the dress was brilliant, I have given simplybridal.com 3 stars for 2 reasons, firstly because sometimes it was a bit too much of the colour white on the website for my liking. Secondly, because it was just so different to shopping in a real shop-something I'm just not used to!
However, were I to recommend an online bride shop, I would recommend simplybridal.com for the fact that everything went smoothly and my dress was exquisite."

"I came across Simply Brides by simply putting wedding gowns in to my search engine on yahoo. After going through so many sites and stores that were not in my budget range and dresses that I really didn’t care for, I found Simply Brides. As always I decided to look for my dress with only a little less than 2 months to me walking down the aisle left. My soon to be husband has been very upset with me and my procrastination so I promised him that not only was I going to find something fast but that I was going to look breath taking in it. Now I have to admit that I made that promise without knowing if I was going to be able to keep it. I visited many stores who all told me that my dress would be ready in 3-4 months and I was getting real discouraged thinking that I was never going to find something I really wanted in so little time until I came across your site. When I came across your site I was shocked and a little skeptical about buying a dress online without a live person taking my measurements and tailoring it for me. The more and more I looked at you site the more pleased I became and knew that I was sold. Not only did the prices fit my budget the dresses fit my taste and I was not going to have to just settle for any old thing. I was going to get what I wanted and fast so that if any changes needed to be made I would have time to do so. Simply Brides has made it possible for me to be the happiest bride and my husband will be the happiest groom when he sees my dress. You guys have taking a stress off me that I can’t explain and I recommend this site to all brides to be. Thank you so much Simply Brides for helping me keep my promise and for help making me be the happiest bride I could be. "

"There were three months left and I was struggling to find my wedding dress. When I saw this website which has beautiful collection, I ordered my wedding gown. Dress arrived one month before my wedding. Every thing was perfect but the gown length was long for me. I returned it and talked to their customer service. They were really helpful and fix my gown in 15 days. Everyone loved my dress. Thanks Simplybridal.com."
