Does anyone think its redic of I go to davids bridal, spend 400 on a rather plain gown and alter the crap outta it so i can design it the way i want it? ive been lookin for a certain style back, but the designer that makes it costs anywhere between 3-5k I've actually found something very similar on davids bridal website...

Do you gurls think im crazy for wanting to go in that direction? I live across the street from a nice old italian woman who owns a wedding store and she does an amazing job with alterations.... Thats what keeps sticking out in my head

I wanna go to the store now and try it on!!!

Heres the expensive one (Chia Lieu):

And heres the $400 one...

I would want to tie this one differently though so it looks like the first one

Not crazy at all... and if you mess it up, you can always dye it a different color and wear it for a different event!

Sorry! I usually have big ideas that don't work out and wind up wasting money so I always try to come up with a possibly upside if things go wrong.

Re: More Gown Talk... W/ PICS

I say go with the sale one... then when you add stuff to it you can tell people you have a one of a kind custom made dress.

Re: More Gown Talk... W/ PICS

I just went back and looked at the photos....IMO I think the only difference is that the first dress fits the bridebetter.....I think thats whats making it stand out to me...but other than that they look VERY similar and I don't think its worth ALL that money for the expensive one.

Exactly what I was thinking!!! The only other diff. I noticed was the first one ties lower on the back..its very pretty and I def think its doable for a seamstress to change that..it's prob pretty simple.

I say def. go for it!!! I would bring both pictures to your neighbor and see what she says..she would prob know better than us what can and can't be done..good luck!
