Hi There,

I was just about to buy a dress from this site when I saw the following message on the Maggie Sottero site and it has caused me some concern:

We recommend not purchasing on the internet. There is a risk of receiving a copy when placing an order via the internet. When compared to an authentic Maggie Sottero gown, a copy is inferior in construction, quality and fit. We have received many calls from frantic brides asking us for our help because a gown they ordered over the internet was not what they expected. Should you be one of the lucky brides who receives an authentic Maggie Sottero gown there are additional problems we have been notified of, such as:
Wrong size gown.
Wrong Color gown.
No Support from the website you purchased the gown through.
A gown being damaged in the shipping process.
Losing your money to an internet website that has gone out of business.

Buying gowns on the internet for a discount is a gamble. Maggie Sottero supports full service brick and mortar bridal salons because we know they will provide you with the service you deserve, and the product you expect

How can i be sure I am obtaining an original Maggie Sottero gown and how will I avoid any of the above problems.

I would love to hear from people who have experienced buying a gown from this site to provide some re assurance.

Simple. Go here http://www.maggiesottero.com/locator/new/locator.php type in 62035. You will see that we are an authorized internet retailer. They are protecting you from the bad web sites that are selling fakes. We are NOT one of those web sites. We are the real deal. I hope this helps. Your gown will be brand new with the tags in the dress and a certificate of authenticity.

Many thanks for the prompt reply.

Can I guarantee to receive the item on time and is it pacckaged well?

Also, does anybody know what a UK SHOE size 6 is in USA size as I am allowed to order a free set with my purchase. :lol:

If anybody could share their experience of receiving such an item by post I would love to hear from you :!:

The following URL will take you to a shoe size converter. From what I saw, you should be about a 39 in UK sizes for a size 6 US.

I did order my wedding gown online and had no trouble at all. It was not through this specific company, but I think that Liquiddi has shown this company as a good company. Remember that all orders will take about 4 months to get to the seller's location. Then they get to ship it to you which will take a bit longer. You will need to ask bestbridalprices.com specifically about shipping as that varies for international shipping.

Good luck! I hope your wedding is perfect!
