I was just talking to a friend about my horrible experience with this website, and stumbled across all of these horror stories that are so similar to mine! I ordered a bridesmaid dress through Houseofbrides.com. I received my order confirmation on January 22. House of Brides charged my card for the full amount of the dress on January 24.in early April, when I had not heard from the website, and all of the other bridesmaids had received their dresses from other stores, I tried to contact the company via the phone numbers and email addresses listed on their website. Both of the phone numbers listed had been disconnected. I could not get a response via email. The wedding was May 4th in Mexico, and I was completely out of luck! I called the designer directly, and they told me that this website was never authorized to carry their dresses, and that they did not supply dresses to them. The designer could not get me a dress in time for the wedding. I called my credit card company, and told them about the scam. Luckily they reversed the charge of over $230 that had been on my card for almost 3 months! I never did receive any response from the company that claims to provide this service. I am convinced that this is a complete and total scam, and I am completely shocked that this site still exists after more than a year. Ironically, another friend of mine went through the exact same experience with this site in 2010! When I heard her story, I couldn't believe it! Unfortunately I was too late to warn her, and she was also out a bridesmaid dress for her friends wedding! What a HORRIBLE experience! I will never forget it. This site needs to be shut down.
