Wedding Dress Update


Tuesday afternoon, my fiance and I meet up with a couple in the parking lot of the public library, who had advertised their wedding dress on Craig's list. I am happy to say, that we liked the wedding dress very much. The dress, which was bought a few months ago by the other couple (for their June 2009 wedding) for $600 was sold to us for only $100.

My fiance absolutely loves the dress. Now that we have the dress, we will have to find a seamstress to make the necessary alterations to shorten it, so that it will fit her.

For now, it is hanging in the closet, but for now we are one step closer and we paid cash for that item.

As for my tux, that will be another post, as I don't need to buy the whole suit.

I think you meant Craigslist. Your link and text say "Graigslist", a parked ppc domain.

You are correct. I will make that correction. Thanks

Pretty dress. Kudos to that couple for selling it, they made $100 and blessed you. I wonder sometimes why people keep wedding dresses?

My wife borrowed her wedding dress from a friend, so it only cost us dr-cleaning (before it was returned). You only NEED the dress for the photos and videos on the 'big day' (hopefully you'll be arranging for some of your friends to take pics for free. Professional wedding photos cost a small fortune, and are often not very good).

IF you sell the dress for $100 after then wedding, THEN it will have been a good idea ;)

enoughwealth@yahoo.com - Borrowing is a nice thought, if someone else was the same size. However, that's not possible in this case, my fiance is only 4 foot 5 inches, 90 pounds. No matter where or how the dress was obtained, it would need to severely altered. Making any return impossible.

Becky R - we were thrilled we found one that low priced and that appeared to need as little alteration as this one. It appeared the previous owner was only about 5 feet tall and also petite. So the cost of alterations should be very minimal.
