My friend is in her early 40's and is getting married for the 2nd time. Where can she go to find a nice, straight, plain, non pouffy wedding gown? maybe one with a little train?

She can look into buying a bridesmaid dress in white or ivory. Many designers, such as Jim Hjelm have really beautiful bridesmaid dresses that can be used as a simple wedding gown. Plus the price won't be bad.

The Watters and Watters bridal gown line fits that description. Classy, very low pouf-factor!

in my extensive shopping experience (b/c as you know it took me like 11 trips to finally find a dress!), it seemed that the smaller boutiques in NYC tended towards the simple, sophisticated style you are talking about. I'm sure you could find them at LI places, but seems like a bigger selection of that particular style in NYC. If you want specifics, let me know!

I agree w/the suggestion to check out Jim Hjelm... My bridesmaids are wearing this dress in black. When one of my friends was trying it on at the Commack Wedding Center - the sample was a white dress. I overheard one salesperson asking another if my bridesmaid was trying on a dress for a second marriage!! So - I guess this dress would be appropriate!! (The real style # is JH4125 - but The Wedding Center had a different style # - If you want it, I'll look up the # for you.)

It says: 'Nancy is a former production manager for Vera Wand and has run her own bridal studio for 11 years. She designs each gown herself and offers 'alternative' bridal gowns for older brides and brides marrying a second time.'
