e recommend not purchasing your bridal gown from Internet stores
because often they are unreliable and cannot provide you with the quality of service upon which we pride our personal sales.

Listen to what some of our designers have to say about internet sales:

"We have received many calls from frantic brides asking us for our help because a gown they ordered over the Internet was not an authentic Maggie Sottero gown, was the wrong color, was damaged or was the wrong size. Buying gowns on the Internet for a discount is a gamble. In every case each bride wished they had bought the gown from a retailer. They would have saved a lot of heartache and money in the long run. Maggie Sottero supports full service brick and mortar bridal salons because we know they will provide you with the service you deserve."

"We don't recommend the purchase of our dresses over the Internet. A dress purchased over the Internet may be a counterfeit dress or a dress sold by an unauthorized retailer."

"DON'T LET "BARGAIN" SHOPPING ON THE INTERNET RUIN YOUR WEDDING DAY!

We don't recommend the purchase of our dresses over the Internet. A dress purchased over the Internet may be a counterfeit dress or a dress sold by an unauthorized retailer.

The Internet is a fabulous resource for all kinds of things. Wedding gowns and bridesmaid's dresses are not one of them.

BUYER BEWARE
Don't be deceived by websites that are offering bridal and bridesmaids gowns at a discount over the Internet. These sites will offer discounts of 10% to 30% off manufacturers suggested retail prices."
