The budget for my dress is 200 dollars and that's for two dresses. Here is my take on the whole dress thing. I really wanted a beautiful dress but i was unwilling spend thousands on it. I am a bargain shopper at heart and i refused to spend so much money on a dress i would only wear once. I started thinking about my options and this is what i found out.
1. I could rent a dress
2. I could buy a used dress
3. I could buy a dress on sale
4. I could get my dress sewn in the USA
5. I could get a dress sewn in china
I decided to go with option number 5 and get my dress sewn in china. Before i made my decisions, i spent hours researching it and would advice anyone that wants to go that route to do the same. I found the person sewing my dress on e bay and i made sure to check his reviews. The total for my dress is supposed to come up to 150 dollars including shipping. I will be keeping you updated on the process. Right now i have contacted couple of his custumers and they have sent me pictures of their dresses. My next step is to go and go to a tailor and get my measurements. You can do it at home but it is advisable to have it professionally done. The advantages besides the price is that you can design your own dress. I refuse to spend a thousand dollars on a dress that i will only wear once. SO i am taking my chances with China, wish me luck.
