Re: SOS: Wedding dress advice:2 nd wedding

Jackthebear, having a dress made is a possibility-but how to you find a bonafide dress maker? Do they guide you with where and what to buy in terms of fabric?

Thanks,

Re: SOS: Wedding dress advice:2 nd wedding

Sunny, so far, we found two Teri Jon's that are in the running: I saw a beautiful Teri Jon's s creation in navy-but it was a lighter navy: it looks like a full skirt belted at the waist with a gorgeous lace top.  I have it on my list because I love it, but I didn't think the color would work.

 

Guess what? She e-mailed a picture to me! 

 

I want to show her the other dresses others are suggesting, but I love it: it's similar to one shown in Sarina's post....this is her second time around-it's after five-I think it could work.

 

Oh, I'm feeling hopeful again!

Thanks,

@Poodlepet2, I'm glad you think these will work. Thanks again to @Sunnyfield for the suggestion. :-)  I agree that Teri Jon gowns are the way to go. I would wear the off-the-shoulder with the bow (last dress) in a heartbeat, although the bow may overwhelm someone who is petite. Maybe it could be removed and a diamond or crystal brooch in its place. The dress is beautiful, elegant, flattering. I would urge your friend to be a little more flexible about the color. Platinum, blush, champagne are all beautiful colors for a bride.

Re: SOS: Wedding dress advice:2 nd wedding

I'm just wondering if Dennis Basso has his wedding collection on line for purchase> I would send him an email because he has a line at Kleinfeld's. My other thought was this--are their any local boutique dress shops in the area? We have a few in some of our upscale malls and a few in the smaller shopping plazas where I live.  I've had great luck with finding my dresses at those shops. My last thought was a seamstress to make a dress.  I know this seems to be a dying art but a few advertise in my area. I found them in the local township papers or some dry cleaners (independents) refer you to them.

Good Luck.
