OK.. so yes, it is just a dress... but I had my heart set on a dress that was way outside of the budget. I could not afford it even if I wanted to. I could have had one made in pure silk for $200 less... or I could have bought an ebay knock off from china for about $200 - $300 including postage ($20 without postage haha!), but I am not sure I could wait 3 months for a dress that might have problems with it... and be made out of "dance time satin" when the original is made out of Rhapsody Taffetta...
So I went and bought a wedding dress from a clearance house. It set me back $149.00. I saved $300. It is the same cut as the one I loved. It is offwhite/cream/ivory type of colour.. very pretty. I am going to hand bead the bodice, the back and the side of the dress with crystals and such.
And I am considering getting a cathedral length train, because my dress does not have a train at all...
I really like the dress I have bought, but I think I will absolutely love it when I am finished with it - and we can spend more money on rings or grog.
Afterall, it is just one day...
