Re: What Are You Thinking About?

I've got a budget of around $2000, but I'd much prefer paying less I know they have dresses starting at $200, so I'm really hoping something fits me, they don't have a lot of size 2 and 4 on the racks.
Thanks

You know, you might want to try buying a sample. I used to work at a bridal shop and they always sell their samples at the end of the season! You can get a great dress for really cheap that way. Samples are definitely larger than size 2 or 4, but you can almost always get a seamstress to take them in (though, I'd avoid going that route if it's more than a couple of sizes too big!)

the place i'm going tomorrow only sell off the racks, but they're always well stocked. that's how they keep cheap. it's the only lace I've tried on anything actually my own size. The place I was yesterday had a sale with sample dresses. but, i kid you not, there was about 10 dresses below size 8... and I wouldn't be comfortable having to remake the dress that much. also pretty hard to imagine how it would look when it's falling over my shoulders -.- But I'm pretty confident I can find one tomorrow.

Re: The Wedding/Handfasting Thread

Can they clip it on you? We used to have these giant clips to temporarily make the dress fit (the ones they also use on models in magazine shoots). I used to be a size 0-2 and I could usually make a size 8-10 dress "fit" me with the clips! It's only temporary, but it might be able to give you a better idea of what styles you like

Anyway, I'd ask about it!

Best of luck tomorrow!

Some places do, some don't i know, thise clips are brilliant! But half of the places don't use them. Anyway, I'm hoping I'll find my dress tomorrow thank you

Re: The Wedding/Handfasting Thread

Hello friends! I will suggest you that you have to buy wedding dress according to your wedding location venue theme. I am sure then it will take less time on searching a nice dress and you will get great color combinations ideas too.

Do you have nice handwriting?

If so, I'd press some leaves and flowers, find some nice paper, and find a nice pen to write them out. If you don't have nice handwriting or you just have wayyy too many to do, you can always print them out with a nice looking font.

Re: The Wedding/Handfasting Thread

Maybe print the text and then add some pressed flowers? That's what I'd do (my handwriting looks like a 12-year-old's!)
