Re: gown help please - PIC is up!
I know I defintely saw one just like it at the Commack Wedding Center. It was in the BM dress area but in a white with a light brown sash it was stunning! Def check it out and anywhere you go bring the pic they might have one similar.

Re: gown help please - PIC is up!
It is really beautiful - I seroiusly would only try it on if you are truely considering spending that kind of money. I had a similar situation - I love Eve of Milady and the gown I fell in love with in the magazine cost 4,000. i knew that there was absolutely know way that I could afford to or could justify spending that kind of money on just my dress (JMO!). so I didn't bother to try it on - knowing that I would never be able to find something comparable if I was to fall in love with it when i put it on. I am glad and I ended up finding the dress I truely love and for 3000 less!!!

There was a pic of a gown somewhat similar to that in Modern Bride the Oct/Nov issue and it was $850

dont try it on!! yes - there is the chance you will hate it, but if you love it than you will not like anything you try on after that and if it is really too much $$ you will just be upset -

I haven't even tried it on yet, I'm in love with the picture. Who knows, it may look like crap! I kind of hope it does so I feel better about not being able to afford it!!
i had the same issue with a dress that in the end i was told was worth over $30K!! dont ever know if that was true or not, but did find the perfect dress without trying on the original dress. if you have a good opportunity to try it on i say do it - but be prepared to spend the $ if you fall in love because in the end you will compare all other dresses to it.
i do know theres a bill levkoff BM that looks SIMILAR without the detail on the bottom of the dress: i know its not nearly the same as the one you love but just thought it might help. the dress itself is somewhat simple maybe you can have it made by a dressmaker if you truly love it?/ but try going and trying on other dresses without focusing solely on this one. you'll be surprised what youll find!! good luck!!

It's a gorgeous dress, but very simple. I'm sure you can find a similar inexpensive dress and get a sash and possibly find a seamstress to do some embroidery on the hem.

That dress is gorgeous! You're right, though, it is a lot of money.
Have you tried RK Bridal or Phyllis at Gownfind? They may able to get it for you cheaper. I got my dress from RK at about 75% less than it should have been!

Re: gown help please - PIC is up!
I think Maggie Sottero has something similiar. Also, Morilee and Demetrios have something similiar as well. Let me do a search for you. BRB!
Oh yeah, you could also search on Theknot.com They have million of dresses.
EDIT~~
I just found these on the Jessica Mcclintock web. I'm not sure about the quality, but the price is REALLY reasonable.
There are a few on David's Bridal as well....again..not sure about the quality!
These are just a few examples I found....I hope this helps!!!
Can I just say your gown is beautiful......the material of it is so rich...you may see similar gowns but the material may differ which may alter the look...Good Luck
