very pretty, Russianbride!

If we actually bought the dress in New Jersey, do we have to pay tax?

Was it the Bridal Reflections in LI or in NYC? Did they ship the dress after alterations?

I think I would freak out that the dress might get lost during the shipping process!

No, NJ does not charge you the sales tax. We were going to go to the salon in NJ but Bridal Reflections gave us a better deal (we bargained with them a bit). Since the top corset part of the dress is not lined, they included it in price if alterations for free lining. The dress was shipped straight from the designer to bridal reflections & from bridal reflections to our uncle's house. My sister can now take it to any bridal reflections store for alterations. We went to the one in the city to buy it but my sister is going to the one in LI to get it altered.
It's a big package - no way it will get lost! Plus they give you tracking info.

Thanks for the info! I have been receiving conflicting info about purchasing a gown in NJ. Some people have told me they have a luxury tax.

That's great that Bridal Reflections were so flexible. We'll keep all the info you gave me in mind. Thanks!

Hmmm maybe there's a luxury tax if you actually purchase the dress from a NJ salon? My sister bought it in NYC & just had it shipped to my uncles house in NJ.
You're welcome & good luck!

Wow! Do you have any pics?
That could be a really nice bind for you & your daughter to wear dress from same designer

my mom did too! it was really cool to wear a gown by the same designer as my mom

my EOM gown came to about $5100 i think including the veil. I had a coupon to bridal reflections for 15% off and then we shipped it to my aunts house in NJ to avoid tax
