first of all do you need to wear one? the ladie said that the dress i was looking at needs a slip to keep the dresses A line/ballroom gown shape to like puff it out a little ...where can you buy one and how much do they cost? i feel like the bridal store is going to charge me an arm and a leg ... are there any other places where i can buy a slip?
You do not really need one. Bridal salons usually sell them.
I wasn't gonna get one, but I was told it makes the dress look fuller and shows off any detail on the dress better and since my dress has detail on the bottom I'm probably gonna get one. Luckily for me my sister is getting married in November and I can just steal hers!!
I think it's more of a preference, I dont think you have to wear one, I will be though
I tried my dress on with a slip at one store and without at another. I like the way it looks like with the slip. I haven't bought one yet because Geri (at Lillettes) didn't pressure me to buy one there...she is so great...she told me to try to borrow one from a friend.
Some gowns really do need a slip. Im waiting for mine to come in to see if I need one or not.
I'm getting one for my dress (A Line also). I'm not sure where I'm going to get mine either, I feel the same way about the bridal store charging a lot. There are a ton on ebay (but make sure you get the right one for your dress). I've also heard that a vendor in tricounty sells them. I will definitely be checking them out when it comes time.
ebay.. they have new ones
