so i was thinking of renting a dress.. i found a place in brooklynn that does this so today i went.. big mistake -- big waste of time -- they didnt really have anything in my size so she said if i saw something in the book she could order it for me but it would take 6 months to come.. when it came in wether or not i liked it i would be stuck with it.. b/c the wedding would be in 6 months. .the thing is that ment i would never be able to see the dress .. she didnt even have a sample in a smaller size...
then we went to some other place and the dress are just to much money i cant afford them...
im very drepressed and upset and not having a good day at all

Re: horrible day
i know dresses can be expensive, but would you want to rent a dress you've never even seen?
sorry you are having a bad day

Re: horrible day
therewhy not check out sample sales? or David's bridal was having a $99. dress sale ... there was a thread about older dresses, that were for purchase for a few hundred... keep your spirits up, I know it's out there for you... you just may need to look harder that's all

Re: horrible day
Some BM dresses are so beautiful and could be worn as a wedding dress, you would just have to order it in white or ivory...just an idea!

Re: horrible day
I've seen some very pretty wedding gowns at thrift stores too... Or maybe you can borrow one from a friend or family member...
I agree with the suggestion of getting a BM dress in white. It would save you a lot of $$.

Re: horrible day
You should try J.Crew or Jessica McClintock ... they have some really nice dresses that are not too expensive.
There is actually a Jessica McClintock store at Roosevelt Field.

I'm sure you will find a perfect one! My dress was only a little bit more expensive than a bridesmaids dress since I didn't want to spend a lot and I also wanted an informal dress. Have you tried simple white bridesmaid dresses?

I was thinking e-bay too. You could get the dress in a week or two and then just pay for alterations. Another option is checking out bridesmaid dresses in white or ivory. There are some really stunning ones for a fraction of the cost of one labeled wedding dress. Good luck!! I'm sure you will find something you love in your price range.

Re: horrible day
You can also check www.gowns.com It is located in Baldwin. It's not online only. I got my dress there. They are off the rack so it's much cheaper. You can get a dress for $250-$400.00
FM if you need more info.

Try Nicole Miller wedding dresses.....they are gorgeous and under $1,000 as far as I know. Same with BCBG - $500 or so.
