Girls, I need help finding a gown!
Hi everyone!
My friend Liz fell in love with a dress, only it's way out of her price range. I know I can count on you girls to help me find something similar for a significantly lower price, right?

Re: Girls, I need help finding a gown!
This is Madalyn...it's nice and "similar" but it's missing the gorgeous silk ribbon...
Has your friend looked at sample sales or considered having a replica made?
Her choice of Priscilla of Boston P2902 is gorgeous...

Re: Girls, I need help finding a gown!
Maybe she could go to a dressmaker and have it imitated. I know there are a few girls here who have knocked off designer dresses and they come out amazing!

Re: Girls, I need help finding a gown!
I would try Marrys I am not sure but I think they have something very close to this and they are very inexpensive

That's strange, that link showed up as forbidden at work, but I can access the Maggie Sottero site itself. Anyone else get that?

Re: Girls, I need help finding a gown!
Has she tried looking on ebay to see if anyone is auctioning it? I would also suggest she contact Phyllis at Gownfind. She may be able to get it for a cheaper price.

Re: Girls, I need help finding a gown!
try vows in bostonwebsite . they get designer gowns and sell them for less. It might be worthwhile to call them.

Re: Girls, I need help finding a gown!
tell her to ask if she can buy the sample dress. a few of my friends did that and saved $1000+ on their dresses!
does priscilla of boston sell their dresses in bridal salons other than priscilla and saks? i guess u can look that up on their site.
good luck to your friend!

Re: Girls, I need help finding a gown!
OMG! I just saw this dress in Brides Magazine...however, it's not sleeveless, but EXACTLY the same!
It's a demetrios dress! www.demetriosbride.com
Here's a pic from the magazine - sorry it's so blurry!

Re: Girls, I need help finding a gown!
I tried on a dress almost exactly like that one at Flowerama. They no longer have a site in Long Island but she could contact them or go with a picture.
