The story of my dress.

The story of my dress.

I wanted to tell this story for those who are going trough a though time right now. (like me)
this past summer I went to look and try on dresses (over 30). Finally towards the end of the summer I found one. The dress is by Paloma Blanca. I thought it was just a little to much money. $1,300. Then alterations and the tax. My mom said she would pay for it. Since FH and I are paying for the whole wedding.
Few weeks ago my mom gave me the money to go order the dress. That same week I lost my job. Could not find anything right away so I started to think about taking a class, but that would mean that I would have to spend a portion of my savings($1,500). Mom told me to take the money that was going to be for the dress and pay for the class, 'we will find a way to pay for it'. (she said)
I was so upset. One night I could not sleep so I went on the internet to look around on ebay. Just to look. Guess what??????
I found my dress in there. $169.99 I wrote the lady about 10emails asking about the dress. She told me that If I didn't like it I could sent it back.
Well I just got it the other day and it fits like a glove and is in perfect condition.
The dress is an example. She had it clean. And it looks like it was just made. I was able to buy the dress I wanted and take the class without spending the savings for the wedding. I'm still a little bid down no job yet!
There are bargains out there we just have to look for them.
Best of luck to all of you.

That is a great story

I was laid off in June and it took me 7 weeks to find a job. I hated the job. I had to commute into NYC for the first time in my life (I am 31) and really did not like the work I was doing. I kept my eyes opening for something else. Well after only 3 weeks at the job I hated I found a new job that I love. I still commute into NYC but my boss lets me leave at 5pm almost everyday and I work from home one day a week. The moral of the story...keep the Faith. Your dress story is a great example of it too....
