10 Places to Buy Dresses Online

DressMob is not a store. DressMob is an online fashion community for people who love dresses. But it's more than that. It's also like a giant dress search engine. You can search dresses from a multitude of different online stores, making this site, in my opinion, the first stop in your quest to buy dresses online. With over 20,000 dresses to browse (and more dresses are added every week), you're bound to find something you love.

Shiny Orb is all about wedding apparel. You can find wedding dresses, evening reception dresses, bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride dresses, and flower girl dresses all in one place.

The coolest thing about Shiny Orb is the virtual dressing room. If you're a bride and you need to coordinate bridesmaid dresses but your bridesmaids are scattered all over the world, the virtual dressing room is for you. Once you create a dressing room, you can invite your bridesmaids to be members. As members, everyone can add their own dresses to the room and leave comments about the dresses they love. This is a great way to collaborate so everyone will look and feel fabulous on their big day.

ModCloth perhaps sells hands-down the cutest dresses on the web. These dresses are all by independent designers and tagged with reasonable price tags. Also cool about ModCloth is the voting system they have for the "You be the buyer" program. If a certain dress has enough votes, they will stock it! If a dress goes out of stock, you can still let them know you want to buy it. If enough people want it back, the dress will come back. ModCloth really listens to the tastes of the customers so sign up and participate!

While eDressMe sells prom dresses and homecoming dresses, eDressMe also has an amazing collection of very sexy clubbing dresses. The short skirts look hot! This is a great website to buy that low-cut little black dress that will turn every head in the club. If you're looking for comfortable, more modest dresses, there's also a great collection of cute sweater dresses. Something for everyone.

TJ Formal has both a physical store and an online store. In the online store, you'll find a dazzling selection of formal wear, including wedding dresses and prom dresses. The customer service for this online store is great. You can use the live chat during business hours and have a conversation with a real person. Though they are based in Missouri, USA, they do serve international customers. Be sure to allow enough time for shipping. Unfortunately, all dress sales are final, so there are no returns. Nevertheless, some of their older in-stock inventory are highly discounted, and great deals are available.

When buying dresses online, Shopbop might not be the first store you think of because they sell way more than just dresses. Shopbop is more of a women's apparel store. The best thing about this online store is quality of the dresses. These are all fabulous designer, name-brand dresses, so don't expect them to be sold at bargain, everyday prices. You can find designer everyday dresses as well as evening dresses, and if wearing a dress before labor day, there's a white dress section to choose from. Shopbop is designer fashion.

All the models on SSENSE look like mannequins. They always stand the same way, looking straight out at you, as if they are robots without personalities. Then again, models are supposed to let the clothes shine, so maybe that's how you know SSENSE is no nonsense about designer clothing. They also have a pretty good return policy, so if you haven't worn the clothing, you can return it for a refund. Check this site often since the inventory changes with new stuff at least weekly.

Almost everything you see on PromGirl is in stock. They are really good about updating their inventory, which means if the size is available for that dress you want, you will be able to get it. While the focus of this site is obviously prom dresses, it turns out that prom dresses can be used for all sorts of events. Imagine prom dresses that double has sexy party dresses, quinceanera party dresses, or even bridesmaid dresses with flair!

House of Brides touts themselves as the "world's largest online wedding store" with a low price guarantee. Their dress selection is large, alright, and prices can range the whole gamut. In fact, some popular designer dresses don't have a price listed online, which means you have to call. That makes the shopping process a little more difficult. However, if you're looking for more than just dresses, say dress-appropriate lingerie, House of Brides will also have that. Oftentimes, they offer free shoes with a dress purchase.
