the one that got away

aw, man! i found my dream dress on ebay this week and i've been watching it like a hawk. . . only to watch it slip away after the bidding price went past my limit.






okay. it's on. any one know of any good vintage wedding shops? i think i need to try one of these babies on.

  1. I really like the neckline and silk flowers on the second one. The orange makes it much more interesting.

  3. How sad! That dress is certainly a gem, but you'll find something else and you'll love it even more. That's just how things work out :)

  6. I just went to Shareen Vintage last night in NYC. Amazing vintage things, truly amazing. Reasonably priced too.

    If you want one made from scratch I make em!

  7. I don't know of any vintage places, but I'm having a girl make mine through etsy. She's specializes in making designer/vintage replica/inspired dresses (she's also starting a great vintage-inspired collection and she showed me the photos of what she's working on and they are beautiful!).
    I sent her some photos of a dress I found online that I loved (but it was out of my price range) and she gave me quote. I really think she could easily make that dress for you! Mine was about $575.

    If you're interested here is her shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/bridalblissdesigns

    Sorry you didn't win the dress - it really is beautiful!
