As previously stated, I'm the type of person who would sooner spend months making something then shelling out a ton of money for it. My wedding dress was not an exception to this rule. My whole plan, due to the fact that I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to clothes and the fact that I was convinced I wouldn't find a dress I liked for under $500, was to make my dress.
That is, until I got an email from a very good friend telling me about Light In The Box. Now, why she was on this website I don't have a clue (shes been married for a while now) but the message simply said "In case you decide not to make your dress." Ever the sceptic, I was sure I wouldn't find anything but looked anyway. What I found was the most gorgeous wedding dress-THE dress. I cheated a little and showed Richard (because I have to know what he thinks on everything now) and he LOVED it! So much in fact, he told me to buy it before they stopped making it- keep in mind this was a few months ago so we weren't even engaged yet. Price tag for my dress? $82 (plus about $40 insured shipping from China). The dress is beautiful! It fits like a glove and I cant wait to wear it.Now keep in mind that this is a whole sale web that sells lots and single units, so they don't have the best selection and I believe they hand make and/or alter all the items so it takes a while for shipping (took about a month to get mine) - but if someone as picky as me can find something they love, I'm sure others can too :-)
For your information, I was on OHO looking at a thread about ball gowns and someone posted the site. While I was looking through formal wear I saw they had wedding dresses and thought of your dumb ass. :p I love you! No but really. I was like "damn, I wish I saw this earlier!" but if we end up getting to go to an AF ball you better believe my ass is ordering from there!
