Mine was my grandmas so it was free! :) But I am getting some stuff updated and fixed on it and having my veil custom made and then alterations and professional cleaning so it will prolly be about $600-$800.



I wish. I tried my mothers on and couldn't get it closed, she was like a double 00. That is so nice.

I got mine for $600...it's a symphony gown, have you tried any of them. Fantasia Bridal in Rocky Point has them ( I know that's probably far, but they are awesome there). Here is the symphony website...

Not to terrible so far, I am afraid I will fall in love with something way out of my $$$ range(which I have no idea what that is yet). I have my eye on the Jim Hjelm in my album.

Does anyone know where they sell it?




LOVE the dress in your album!!

Maybe a seamstress could add material to make it fit you. I am prolly going to have to have mine made bigger- it fits me now, but when I work out, my stomach gets wider and flatter so it doesn't close. The woman doing my dress said it wont be a big deal.
