Hi Ladies,
I got a dress today! I went to a bridal swap for some candles, and decided to try on a dress just for fun. It was a Jason Alexander 8238
and was being sold for a great deal by a dry cleaner! Apparently some people drop-off their wedding dresses and then just never pick them up again! (Can you imagine?) And then the Dry cleaner sells them off to recover the dry-cleaning costs.
It's in great condition, fits like a glove, and is much nicer than what I could otherwise afford. It's not a dress I ever envisioned myself wearing, but for the price (under $300) and the excellent fit, I'm more than happy with it.
Attached are some pictures: The little straps are removable, so I will probably go strapless for the big day.
In my family second-hand wedding dresses are something of a tradition which I am happy to carry on - My Grandmother got her wedding dress for $5 back in 1950.
Now I just have to find a veil and some shoes to match. I wonder how hard veils are to make?
