Help me find my dream dress

[lovelylulu]

I ordered the vera wang tulle dress from bluefly in an 8 and then a few days later got a message saying that it was out of stock

i''m so disappointed.

does anyone have any suggestions about where i might be able to track one down???

thanks

ps: i passed my bar exam (thank goodness!)

 

[SoonIHope]

Congratulations on passing the bar!!!

No idea about finding the dress though...I''m so sorry to hear it was out of stock! Good luck!!!

Congrats on the bar!!

Have you tried ebay for the dress? Bridesave? Not really sure which websites carry Vera Wang but I''m sure if you googled it you''d find some. Good luck!

 

[researcher]

I don''t, but I was wondering if you could order the dress in a 10 and then get it altered. Just a suggestion!

 

[lovelylulu]

unfortunately the only size they have is a 4 which just isn''t going to work

Have you tried a google search with the exact name/style number?
It''s amazing what you can find when you google it.
Good Luck!

What does the dress look like? Or style number?

 

[AndyRosse]

Forget it, I found it on Bluefly.

This is different, but kind of similar: LINK

Forget that, doesn''t come in white anyway.

Hi,

Have you tried Pearl''s Place? It''s a discount B & M bridal shop in LA, but they take internet orders, and the website says that they carry VW. Good luck!

thanks alyson: although they are in new orleans, so i have to check if they are actually in business. that area was definately in the path of katrina

Congrats on passing the bar!

I got a very competitive quote on a VW bridesmaid dress last month from Pearl''s Place so they''re definitely up & running after Katrina. You should give them a call.

Thanks brightspot that''s great to know that they are back in business. i actually went to law school in new orleans, so it hurt my heart to have to see the devestation of katrina. i hope people can manage to have some happiness in their holidays

I actually found the dress at bergdoff''s and i ordered it eventhough it was selling for full price. i figured i couldn''t let it get away this time. there is also the return policy and i am religiously checking bluefly''s website as it seems their selection of sizes changes daily...

i''ll keep you guys posted.

in other news, i found a storybook location for our reception only to learn it commands a $16,500 venue charge. on top of that you have to rent out all the rooms in the place (i have no idea what that would cost) and provide all catering and open bar. !!***!!**%%##@ i couldn''t believe it. i''m so lost when it comes to budgeting, but i''m pretty sure that''s not normal or affordable.

where are you having the wedding- not new orleans right??
i''m in louisiana too. pearl''s place is in metairie, which wasn''t hurt as bad as new orleans.
glad to hear you found it!!

jcrow: i''m not having the wedding in nola. i''m originally from ny. my mom and grandma both live out east on LI and i love it there, so that''s where i was thinking - though it seems that area is pricey!!!!!!!!!!
