My daughter's Presents dress (The Reluctant PNM) was a bridal gown. That, or a deb gpwm. Quite frankly, I would go back to this designer when DDs get engaged. And trust me, the dress with seed pearls and some glitz was NOWHERE near the thousand dollar mark, although on sale. When I married I borrowed a dress (big mistake...at the last minute the first bride, who wore the dress for her vows and then changed out of it saying, "Get this hideous thing off me!!!! I never want to see it again!!!!", said that she didn't want me to wear it. This was four days before the wedding.
Today I would just go to a store and buy an evening dress and be done with it. At the time I was overwhelmed, so I wore "that dress." But the dress I wore was the same dress that Grace Kelly wore for her wedding, alencon lace and all. (not Grace Kelly's dress itself, but the same designer, fabric etc.) ANd the "owner" took it back and threw it out. She threw it out not only because I had worn it, but because it reminded her of her mother, the last being the most importent. Thirty three years ago that dress was $1,500. OMG.
