Soooooo ... we have planned a March 2011 Wedding at this stage, I'll be around 5ish months preggers and wanted to know where you would find a nice yet simple wedding dress that will not cost more than say $500? Lord, I dont even know if i want to spend that much
The ceremony will only have DF, me and a friend to witness :)
Any ideas?
I got married 2 weeks ago at 33 weeks. I got mine on eBay for $230 inc postage from melb and was made to my measurements.
Congratulations! I got married at 30 weeks. I simply went into maternity stores and explained that I wanted something white/cream and simple. One wonderful store had a dress in another colour that I loved so they ordered it in for me in white. I think from memory it was only about $50 and I felt comfortable and looked pretty good (if I do say so myself) :-D Ask around in some store, you may be lucky.
Cool thanks :) Congrats on the weddings BTW!
i got married in november i think i was 25wks im the same as kylz i got my wedding dress of ebay from melb made to measure and cost me the same it was from fashionimpression i loved it was chiffon my dressmaker was very impressed with it as well which made me feel better about my buy
I had one picked out for our wedding, never actually managed to get around to having it though, lol!

this was my dress but they made it baby doll style told them i was pregnant plus they had my sizes got dressmaker to measure me but i did get dressmaker to change straps so they were both over my shoulder iykwim not across would put pic of mine up but wouldnt know how :redface:
I recommend getting one made. We also had us and 2 witnesses and I got some material I liked and then had it made all for about $300, mind you the lady who made it quoted me half of what she ended up charging me. I'd say if it's simple than it shouldn't cost much to make at all, then you get the benefits of it being fitted just for you and exactly what you want.
ree that dress is beautiful, I bet you blew your groom away!

That's my dress lol I had the poos with the strap in the end and took it off
cherished thank you I shocked myself dont normally wear dresses and was the first time ever (been together 12yrs) my man had seen me in a dressand with make up on even blew family and friends away felt like a princess lol
kylz we have good taste :) I only did the straps for the extra support i loved it
I wish I had got one with straps. My boobies were too heavy and I had to squish them into a small strapless to stop it falling down lol:
Fashion impressions were great to deal with. My dress had a panel in.the back behind the cross over part. I told them it was maternity and they just gave me a few extra measurements they needed
when i got the dress i took it to the dressmaker who just cut the strap in half and measured me sewed it up then had to take the back panel out due to the panel not fitting wouldnt do up at the top i put on heaps :redface: so she took it out cut it down to hide my buttcrack and the bottom bit of panel fitted
Smart idea!!!!!
Awesome, such great advice :)
BEAUTIFUL dress ree!! thats the sort of style im looking for - will def have a look at fashionimpressions - i think i looked at a dress of theirs on ebay last night ...
