Reem Acra

OMGGG girls... I just went to Reem Acra to try on dresses during lunch and I fell in love with a dress that is $1,500 more than my budget!!!! AHHHHHHH what do i do?! They said they would help me, but STILL - how much do you really think they could give me off?! I'm sooo bummed... I really love the dress and think it's 'the one!' My fault though... I asked to try it on.

Any suggestions on where to cut so I can afford this dress? My friend said to cut out flowers... that no one remembers the flowers but everyone remembers how you look and what you wore. HELP!!

don't cut out flowers. but you cut out stuff like programs, bathroom baskets, slipper baskets, etc... things that arent necessary but people do anyway.

i love reem too!

can you try going to a reem acra trunk sale? i saved 15% on my gown by buying it at a kenneth pool trunk sale.

Yes.. they said her trunk shows are typically 10% off, but i'm not sure if i can even justify the price then. Man, why is this so hard?!

dont feel bad. I just fell in love w a Stephen Yearick thats discontinued and the designer said they'd cut the dress for me. its also like 1k over my budget. What to do?

If this dress is the 'one' dont think twice,just buy it and dont think about it b/c your gonna compare every other dress u try on to this one. Try cutting prices elsewhere so u can stay within ur budget.

Just do it.. along the way you will cut back on other things when you think of your amazing dress. I agree that you will compare everything else you try on to THE DRESS.. dont make yourself nuts...GET IT!!!

offer to pay in cash installments to eliminate tax?

and def cut out unnecessary stuff like programs, slipper baskets etc.

and call around other salons to see if they have better prices

good luck!
