HELP!a great dress, way out of my $range

Help please.....

After trying on hundreds of dresses, I think I finally found a dress that I really like....
The problem....it is WAYYYYYY out of my price league.

I will post the pictures. The store I tried it on in is selling it for $3595.

I am looking for places that sell replicas or similar styles or someone who can make the dress for a huge cut in price who has great references. I found a few places online that make imitations, but I have no way of knowing how well it will come out. I would hate to order from a web site and have it not be a reputable company.

The dress is a Tomasina #1260
I love the fitted top with crystals. Looking for anything similar in style. The train on this dress is VERY plain, no design or beading or buttons at all. I do not mind if i find something similar with more decorations on the train or if the dress even has straps. Note: this dress is a zip up back, I do not care for the lace up corset back.

Dress description:
Delicate crystals edge each silk pleat on this strapless gown. The clean front skirt moves into a box pleated back with chapel train.

Thanks so much for all your help,
Melani

MAybe you can wait for a sample sale or a trunk sale?

I've seen on other posts here that sometimes brides to be take the picture and how much money they got quoted to Burton's and they are able to order the dress for a lesser price. There is another place as well that does this but I can't remember the name. It doesn't hurt to try.....

Why don't you locate the local discount bridal service rep in our area? I heard that they can get you dresses up to 30% off the original price. look up DBS under google, I think.

Call and speak to the owner, I forget her name, at www.bridepower.com. At no charge she will seek out a sample version of the dress, and for $50 refundable dollars, when she finds it will send it to you for a week to check out for quality -- although she checks them very thoroughly. SusanS got her Reem, I got my Paula Varsalona, both at massive discounts this way and the dresses were incredible.
