    Hi Bees,

    I've been to a few bridal shops, but nothing really caught my eye, and money is too tight for many of the dresses I'd really like to try on. So I went browsing on Craigslist, and I got really really lucky! I got my dress from someone who was had closed her shop and was selling her remaining samples. It's a Casablanca 1902, in ivory. It needs to be taken in, but not by much. The best part, I paid $300 for a gorgeous dress in perfect condition! I'm really really happy!!!

    Attaching a few hanging pics :)

    They're resized, so I don't know what's going on. Can anyone help?

    That dress is really pretty! I love Casablanca dresses and I purchased mine for $650 after tax but that was with 20% off (I teach with the store owner) and I thought I got a huge deal! Very pretty, you'll look amazing!

    Thank you ladies! @MissAsB, I'll post a picture of me in it when I can.

    I told the woman I bought the dress from she should post on weddingbee, and just found the ad! It's http://classifieds.weddingbee.com/topic/store-closed-selling-76-wedding-dresses-at-great-prices and she had a lot more dresses if anyone's looking.*

    *I did not know her before yesterday, and am not getting any kickbacks for plugging, promise.
