    I'm looking for the court dress Jennifer Lopez's character wore in the movie 'Wedding Planner' or Audrey Hepburn's tea length wedding dress in the movie 'Funny Face'...anyone seen it any where?  On budget...hoping only to spend $2-300...although if it's Purrrfect, may fudge the budget a little...

    Thanks, ladies!

    For the Audrey Hepburn dress, I would try either Dolly Couture or Stephanie James. I think their prices are pretty reasonable. There's someone on the boards who's wearing a Dolly Couturre dress. FlipFlopBride I think.

    I can't find a picture of the Jennifer Lopez dress.

    I'm pretty sure I saw a mock up of the hepburn dress on ebay. You could get someone to custom make it..usually you send them a picture and they make it from there in your size though I don't know any to recommend or how safe it is..but a suggestion :D

    I was going to say Stephanie James also, her dresses are so fun and vintage......I considered purchasing the Josephine with the stitched ribbon.

    I looked all over, the best I can help is a description of the outfit for the Wedding Planner.

    Someone described it as an ivory satin skirt and top. The top was a boat neck style and she had a small pillbox style hat with short net.

    I remember them saying in the movie it was her mothers, so I would be looking for a jackie o's influence ivory satin skirt suit

    If you can describe it or better yet, rent the movie, pause it when it gets to that scene take a picture from front and back and bring it to a seamstress to see if she can sketch one out like it.

    Good luck!

    I LOVE that Audrey Hepburn dress! I have always dreamed of wearing a dress similar to that! I would second the Stephanie Jame Couture line.

    Another option is Candy Anthony. Beautiful dresses, I just drool over them-they're in London however. http://www.candyanthony.com/index.htm but probably so.worth.it

    I love Candy Anthony and considered getting one, but you'll have to tack on an extra zero for one of her dresses in white...  boo.

    Dolly Couture is definitely really reasonable.  I know what dress you're talking about with J-Lo.  You may want to try the Alchemy feature on Etsy; there are similar dresses on the site, but nothing exactly like that dress.

    Wooo~  LOVE the dress at Candy Anthony.  Can't believe she charges 10x much for a white dress though!  I will check out Etsy next!  It didn't occur to me that Etsy will also have dresses.  :)  Thanks, ladies!

    @lostinthemission - Love the Jenny Yoo dress - so simple and right in the line of the look I'm searching for.  :)
