She bought hers at <A HREF="http://bridesagainstbreastcancer.org/" REL="nofollow">a Brides Against Breast Cancer</A> sale. It was held in a suburban hotel ballroom. There were dozens of women and their friends/family trying on gowns in one big room. It was strictly do it yourself -- you wandered through hundreds and hundreds of dresses -- some used, some floor samples, many big designer names, many scary Vegas wedding dresses -- and picked out as many as you could carry. Then you went and tried them on in a big room with everyone else. It was a total blast. Everyone was happy and excited. It felt like a big party. And it's a great charity. I really meant to donate my dress to them, but I can't seem to part with it, so it's still taking up space in my guest room closet. (Also, for accuracy, I didn't get my dress at VW, but at the fancy bridal shop on the same street).Harriet M.

They're really beautiful gowns, totally unlike the stockbox shopping experience.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797313197298457017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893938822290954251.post-20833185236737825712009-03-31T20:55:00.000-05:002009-03-31T20:55:00.000-05:00And???By the way, that's where I got my dress.
