FYI -- Bridal Gown

This is just to let you know that you can find 'good deals' at the high-end salons as well. I, by chance, went to a Helen Morley trunk show at Bergdorf-Goodman. I had seen Helen Morley's designs before and knew I liked them. Well, I mentioned to Ms. Morley (who was there) that I had seen a specific style at another store and she told me that that dress was not included in her new collection (it was from last season's collection). I liked the dress anyway and wanted to try it on again. Bergdorf's arranged to have the dress brought over and I fell in love with it (again) and bought it. As the dress was from the previous season (and she was no longer showing it)they took about 20% off the price of the dress! My budget was $2500 - $2700 and I came in way under that! Plus Bergdorf's let't you pay in 4 installments if you wish(1/4 at purchase and the rest is schduled until the dress comes in). Alterations are no more than $300. The service is incredible and they really go out of their way to please.

No offense taken! In bridal gowns a 6/8 and in regular clothes a 2/4. Why do you ask?

I also went to The Gown Company where they carry a wide variety of sizes in many of best designers -- Christos, Badgley Mischka, Angel Sanchez, Peter Langner, Carolina Herrera, Vera Wang.. etc. at a 50% to 75% discount! I went to one of their sales at a hotel here in NYC but they also have a location on East 9th Street. Telephone #212/979-9000 and you can speak to Paula. She was very nice and helpful.
