HI Everyone,
Please show me your ball gowns and which designer? I am going dress shopping soon!!
Thanks
Mine was about $500. It's from the Blu collection by Mori Lee. I added a bolero for the ceremony. Excuse the clips...this pic is from my first fitting.
Watters Mojave for $1,100. It comes with a removable flower and has pockets. I am going to probably wear crinoline under it to give it more body. Even though the Watters line says it starts above like $1,600, I found some styles much cheaper than that. Jus have to shop around.
What type of dress are you looking for? I tried on SO many ball gowns, so if you want to give me and idea of what you are looking for I may be able to help.
Sottero and Midgley-Linda. it was 1200 and with alterations it ended up being 1600.
@katiejune2012:Hi Katie! ! Thanks so much! I am looking for corset style bodice with swarovski crystals and a big bottom with detailing (like bussles or something).
@katiejune2012:oh and sweetheart shape! :) What did you like?
Mine was $818 it's Mori Lee 1601. Sorry for the awful pic, my Mom made me delete all of the others ones because she knew I'd show my FI if I had them haha!
also, the dress is a size too big and the bodice is not fitted to my body so it looks kinda funky, but you get the geeneral idea.
Try Alfred Angelo style 758. Its I want to say $1700 max. Though I really think its about $1500. It has a corset option which is amazing.
here is my Monique Luo from Davids Bridal. $850 (on sale from $1150) before tax. This is w/o a crinoline and I will not be wearing one for my wedding next wkend~
@shutterpeak2122: if you want a beaded corset and a full skirt, I am not sure of the price but you may want to check out Watters Wtoo line Primrose top w/ Poppy skirt. The Wtoo line is very reasonably priced.
so I tended not to look at the dresses with bussles, as I am pretty petite and I found they overwhelmed me. The dress I am getting is Casablanca 2017 (w/ a sweetheart neck line) I also loved Mori Lee 1612 and Maggie Sottero Lizette Royal. Mori Lee and Casablanca both have great dresses for very reasonable prices. I liked a lot of Justin Alexander dresses too.
Sottero and Midgley $1200 before alterations- around $1500 after without crinoline or veil
The one I have my eye on so far is the allure 170. I am trying to find others with a similar look. Did anyone buy a wedding dress with a corset style bodice?
Has anyone tried on Allure 186?
I didn't end up with a ballgown, but just wanted to say how beautiful everyone looks in theirs!! :)
@cs71904: that is a gorgeous dress on you. I love cascading lace.
@misskoala: that is a great dress for your shape! beautiful.
I can't wait!! I don't even care that I'm a big girl!!!
~$1300 with alterations (corset & bustle), my bra, and crinoline....
I LOVE MY DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mine is Loretta by Sottero & Midgley and it was about $1,800 I believe.
You can see some of the ones that I tried on if you click on the link below. They would work with your budget. http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/am-so-confusedhelp
Most of the time you can get discounts if you attend trunk shows!
I love ball gowns, they just scream wedding to me. Not that other silouttes aren't beautiful, they are but ball gowns are just so ellegant. Everyone looks so beautiful in their dresses. Here's mine...
I can't remember my designer, but I think it was to be? i don't know. It was around $1000. Good luck dress shopping!!
Augusta Jones Cameo. I got the sample so I paid 1050. I know it retails for about 3500...so I don't know if this counts :)
I love ball gowns. I didn't get my dress yet, but I just have to say how much I love ball gowns :) You'll probably never be able to wear a big ball gown with crinolin and bows ever again in your life (well...except for a costume party maybe lol). I'm so excited to wear a ball gown for my wedding!!
This isn't my dress - but tried it on at Davids Bridal on a dare while my BM's were shopping for their dresses and even though its totally not my style, I thought it was fun and cute!
I think its from the VW White collection, or at least the belt was. The dress was 1000 and the belt was around 200 I believe? Gotta tell you though - its a WHOLE mess of tulle. I could hardly fit in the dressing room. I asked the saleslady how a girl would pee in this dress, and she just laughed and said "with a lot of help". :P
mine is Allure 8771, and I bought it for $1000, although won $500.00 off and free alterations at a bridal show.. so only ended up spending $500.00
I'm not sure if mine was a ballgown, but it certainly felt like it! It was $1500, but I paid $1200 for it. It's a Demetrios dress.
Mine is also a Mori Lee from the Blu collection, about $550. I added a blingier belt from Etsy.
@aprilbee11:Beautiful!!! Your gown is something I am looking for :) LOVE IT!
