THIS IS A SCAM. The douche is not interested in any wedding dress - this is only a useless prop in his play. What he really wants is your money and this is how he does it: he sends you a *FAKE* cashier's check for an amount that's larger than the price of the dress, you deposit it into your bank account (by law, banks must honor cashiers checks and make funds immediately available unless they detect it's fake which they won't for a variety of reasons), and you Western-Union-wire him the difference between check and dress amounts, less dress shipping costs and WU expenses. Your bank won't know the check's fake until it clears all the way back to the originating bank (this takes days) and in the meantime, the scammer will have your cash that you WU-ed him in his hands (WU wires take hours) and you'll be held responsible for the cashed check (the $amount, possibly bounced check fees and perhaps prosecuted for passing a bad check). The dress purchase is intended to mislead you, what he really wants is cash from you and there are other variations of this scam so beware.
