Budget Bride vs Wedding Dress - Dress Hunting Tips

[Julietisurs]

This was my dream dress...

 

HOWEVER...This mermaid ruffle dress is $2,500 and was out of my budget.

 

I found this mermaid sample dress for $300

 

 

I added extra fabric and a seamstress for $285

 

Now I have my dream dress for $585

 

 

 

 

 

Brides on a budget FIND A GOOD SEAMSTRESS, you'd be surprised of what wonders they can do with your gown and pocket book!!!
