I have been looking around for a nice dress and at the local store they charge allot. Does anyone know where my fiance and I can save some money. I did check ebay but I found only the following that looks nice.

That is a beautiful wedding dress...but WOW what a price tag!
Because she took so many pictures and close ups I would try to contact the sellers in china that copy expensive dresses...there is a thread started here, and one bride contacted one of the sellers to see if they could make a dress for her and they said they could...watch the thread here:

I would recommend David's Bridal. Though it is huge it is still a step up from being a Bridal WalMart. They actually had some nice stuff. I found two gowns that I really liked one was 800 and the othet 1050 whcih si not too bad compared to the 3000 gowns. But they also have stuff in the 100-500 range that actually looks nice.
I would not recoomend purchasing online unless you have already tried on that exact dress and saw how that particular style fits you. I saw a dress on the rack that I thought was gorgeous and when I put it on I looked like a common barbie bride:D
Best of luck. I can relate beacuse I just started dress shopping and I am not sure where to look either.

David's Bridal also has the $99 dress sale. It doesn't look like one's going on right now, but they will have another one again soon. Here is the link just in case you want to check back later to see if they are having any sales: http://www.davidsbridal.com/index.jsp
Good luck finding your dress!:D

Thank you very much! I have tried on YSA Makino dresses and they are sooo beautifully fited and nice. I mean their quality is like no other so thats why when I saw this dress on ebay I was surprised becuase YSA dresses are usually $4000 and up. I don't know I am so confused!

Just to reiterate what Candars said. My sister went to Davids Bridal when looking for a dress and was able to get a Monique Luo (or Monica Luo?) originally a $900/dress for $99! Of course once she purchased a veil and had the bustle & sleeves added it totaled closer to $400:bbeek: :grinhappy:
but the dress it self was a steal!

Yeah, you can find some nice stuff at DB!! I found my dress there for $150 off.. And they are ALWAYS having those sales.. So if its not this week, try the next..
Remember, most China shops are knock offs. I have heard a lot of shops using cheap material and glue on seqines.. Stuff like that. o.o; I'd be scared to, personally..
