Collect brochures and pamphlets from the shops that sell bridesmaid dresses. Good knowledge can prevent you from making a big big mistake.

Give measurement to a professional otherwise a wrong measurement can ruin the dress. Also openly talk about alterations required in the dress. Check with the firm or the dress designer. Avoid taking the dress without proper identity even if they are offering cheap prices. They might just sell you polyester claiming it to be silk. Write the complete details of the transaction on the receipt. Fix a day for final trial.

5. Law- Do not is an ignorant consumer. Know your rights. Always pay by credit card, so as to have a record of your transaction. This is the best defense you can have against any fraudulent shop owner. There are laws to save you in such a situation. Do not sign any sort of contract.
