Looking for similar dresses

I love this dress, but want to have more than one in my head when I go and look as I have heard nightmares about the manufacturer and practically NO ONE stocks it! I've searched for another based on the features I like and am coming up with nada.

I LOVE the V-neck. I LOVE the lace accents. I LOVE the pleating at the waist. I LIKE the 3/4 sleeves but can go either way.

What do you all think?

Front

Back

That is beautiful! Good luck!
If you really have your heart set on it, why not call all the places till you find someone that has it? Even if it is far, it might be worth the trip! Who is the designer?

Re: Looking for similar dresses

its a Casablanca. Closest place with it and with this dress for me to try is 8 hours away.

the problem is that there are a few things I want to change (the sleeves & the lace inset on the skirt) which makes me think I need to have more ideas in my head, but I don't seem to be able to find a lot of v-necks with sleeves.....

Would you consider getting it made by a dressmaker.

I've searched all over theknot and wedding channel.

I've heard that they are ridiculously slow. 18 months+

I'd consider having a dressmaker make it, but I don't know any...

Re: Looking for similar dresses

what about one of those website services like netbride or others people have used. Maybe you would be able to get your dress through them and then alter it here? Best of Luck!

I thought RK Bridal had those dresses....

Re: Looking for similar dresses

RK can order but they do not have samples to try.

Edited to say: at least not of this dress

I saw this in a previous edition of Modern Bride, it is supposed to be a St. Pucchi gown, a little bit under $5000

Here's 2 places in Jersey that have the dress:

Izabella Bridal

West New York , NJ
I checked this one on Mapquest & it say 33 minutes from Franklin Square, LI that's not to bad!!

Bridal Salons in Area Code 732
Cinderella Bridals
The Market Place Hwy 34 #443L
Matawan , NJ
I don't think this adress is accurateB]

Re: Looking for similar dresses

I would call the store to see if they have it. and make sure she really looks for it!!! West New York is on the Jersey side of the Hudson River above Weehawken.

Re: Looking for similar dresses

According to the Knot they do. (they carry the designer) Call them up. They will be able to tell you. I called MANY stored to make sure they had a certain dress.

GOOD LUCK!!
