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. Ana

The story of my dress. Good for you Ana!

I love a good story about a bargin. I hope the job picture looks better for you soon. What type of work are you looking for?

Congratulations about the dress..

I guess that was the dress you were meant to have !! Good luck with the job search.

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....

Your story gave me the chills-I'm happy for you! *NM*
