Good place to get a wedding dress off the rack??
Just wondering if anyone knows of a good place that has discounted wedding dresses off the rack.Since FH and I just booked out wedding I don't think i'll have enough time to order a dress and do alterations
I've been to davids bridal but i'm not willing to spend over $500 for a dress TONS of people have tried on. I have no clue where to look.
Any ideas would help me out a lot!!
Thanks girls!!

Many bridal stores will sell you their sample if you don't have enough time to order it new. And you can get it for less than the retail price since it's a sample. Just go to a few bridal stores and let them know your situation and see if they will do that for you.Also, if your wedding is in June, you DO have enough time to order a new dress - you may not have as many options, but you do have some. I'd go to RK Bridal - they have a selection of dresses that can come in within 3 months or less.
Good luck!

as the PP said.. check out bridal stores.. they sell samples and you can find good ones that just need dry cleaning some beading clean up..try the wedding salon in manhasset.. or bridal couture..
my cousin ordred her dress from daivds bridal and it arrived within 4 weeks.. bizarre.. could have been a slow month who knows!

Try Davids Bridal! I have heard it's a great place for off the rack wedding dresses! But make sure you look the dress over with a fine tooth comb!

You are not ordering TOO late...I think that you can still purchase your dress and have it here on time. Has anyone told you otherwise?

Estelle's dressy dresses has a bridal department with a decent selection. labels aren't too common names but some nice styles and prices I looked at were running usually $500 to 800.

Davids Bridal in Lake Grove is awesome...I would def try there... Alot of their dresses are marked down now, especially since their new line just came in...
Also, if you order the dress new from there, it only takes like a month to come in, so you would have plenty of time!
Good Luck!
