I know I posted about BM dresses earlier, but now I need help finding my sister the perfect wedding gown! She is in South Carolina, and is getting married in Indiana and is SUPER busy with full time job and grad school- so I'm trying to help as much as I can.

Her inspiration dress is Charlotte's from Sex and the City in her second wedding. She loves capped sleeves, lace, not poofy so more a-line, simple and romantic, and a little old looking. She likes sweetheart neckline (especially if no capped sleeves) and vetos halters and spaghetti straps. She is about a size 6, so not super skinny but not big by any means.

Any one want to help? I've briefly looked at Maggie Sottero, Watters, Casablanca, and Mia Solano- but feel free to look and see if I missed something on those. I'll include her inspiration picture below. TIA!

This is one of my favourite Cymbeline gowns.  Love it!  The black sash comes in lighter (ie. ivory) colours too.

Does she have a budget in mind? From the designers you mentioned, I'd guess she's looking in the sub-$2K range, and many of the dresses people have posted are going to run a lot more than that. But if that's not the case, then I think the ones pictured here are almost all TDF!!

Thanks CDNY! Those are all very pretty.
Oobiecoo: I sent her that dress earlier and she liked it! Thanks!
Ebree: Thanks, that dress is beautiful!
Octavia: You are right, those dresses are all a little high on the budget. She would preferably would like to stay at our under $1000, but if she falls in love with "the dress" she will prioritize her budget and cut someplace else.

Any other ideas? I sent her a bunch of Augusta Jones dresses that she loves and we will be going to a local retailer of Thanksgiving to try some on, however again they are a little pricey. Any other posts are welcome! Thanks!

Pronovias can be surprisingly affordable.   This dress is from their San Patrick collection, the most affordable out of all of them.

That last Pronovias dress is absolutely beautiful. Out of the ones posted, I'd say give that one a try if you can find a local boutique that carries that line!

Even though it's not 100% similar this maggie dress always reminds me of that one that Charlotte is wearing.

La Sposa is another line that might have something similar to what she is looking for. Here are 2 similar ones as an example... but there are many more.
