    Hi Hive!

    I'm currently struggling to figure out whether I should buy a $650 Monique Lhuillier-sash from my dress store, or whether I should just buy an imitation version from an online store.  I'd be willing to pay for the difference if there really is a difference, but I can't tell! The sales associate who was trying to sell me the ML sash mentioned that the ML sashes are silk - does anyone know if this is true, or did she just mean that it feels silkier? And can you really tell the difference? It just seems like a lot of money for what is essentially a ribbon!

    And for some advice - if you had a sash, where did you get it from?

    Thanks in advance!

    Go imitation or make one. Sashes are extremely simple to make, plus you can customize the fabric, width, color, and pattern, and it is a TON more affordable. If you need instructions, I can help you!

    Check out Etsy- or even better Alchemy on Etsy.com and you can upload a photo of the particular ML sash you like and you might get a copycat more affordably.  Plus, you get set the price perimeters :)

    It really is just a ribbon, albeit a silk one.  Have a local seamstress do it or go to etsy as laurajane suggested.
