    If you could go to some place like Kleinfelds, and budget was not an issue at all, we are talking you can get any dress you want from them no matter the budget (just toss that right on out the window). What dress would you get?

    I'm sure some girls have gotten to go there and have gotten their dream dress, but this is "DREAM GOWN LAND", www.kleinfeldbridal.com click away in their gown area and what is the dress that if you could have you would die to have.

    Please no actual dresses if you did buy a dress from there, again this is the dreamer area we want to see what you might have chosen if money was not a factor. Lets just have some fun with this!

    My dream gown is a Judd Waddell that is way to rich for my blood, but oh do I adore it. I've never seen it before today when I was looking at the kleinfeld site for fun. Here is my fairy tale land dream gown.

    Well, my "dream" dress is a Watters - not quite as expensive as the Klienfeld's dresses, but still way out of my budget!

    *drool* my ultimate dream dress is the Manuel Mota Sangrera 2010 collection.  However, no place in South Dakota carries that line so it will continue to haunt my dreams

    I tried this baby on at Saks last week for fun - I was trying to confirm beyond a reasonable doubt that the dress I am ordering is for sure The One (it is "Smile") by trying on every type of dress imaginable. It's completely different than the dresses that I had been looking at, and was the only one that made me pause and go "Hmmmmm ..." . i It's also about $7000. Maybe if we win the lottery and then have a vow renewal??

    I love love love this Oscar dress. I did try on other Oscar dresses but didn't fall in love with any of them (and couldn't imagine spending $12,000 on a dress!) If I did though I would definltey get this one. No worries though, I am IN LOVE with the dress I did get.

    @anvil_chick  My dream dress was a Judd Waddell too! I saw this in a magazine and fell in love! The lace on the back reminds me of a favorite prom dress of mine. I actually went and tried it on, but the price tag steered me in a different direction!!

    I tried on that Judd Waddell dress and it looked terrible on me. I was too tall for it so it hit in all the wrong spots.

    I ended up with my budget-no-issue-dream dress. Maribel by Christos. Unf. I'm so lucky to have such generous parents.

    @Fiftyfootbride - Oh how beautiful - I looked at Christos Desiree which is that same fabric but with a slightly different top and belt.  So pretty.

    I will throw a Melissa Sweet and a Vera Wang into the mix.  They are both so gorgeous (and nothing like what I picked out!).

    Surprisingly, I picked one that actually looks a lot like my actual wedding dress! But I saw a Valentino gown in the most recent ElleMagazine that would totally be my dress if it wasn't price upon request (if you have to ask...). It kind of looks like the Carolina Herrera I uploaded, but it had tank straps and a v-neck and so much tulle and sparkle it was amazing.

    @ fiftyfootbride:  I love that dress.  If I hadn't already bought mine, I would go look again.  But I love my dress too.

    @lemilie:  The second one is gorgeous!

    My dream dress is a Carolina Herrera I saw 3 years ago at Saks when my cousin was shopping for a dress.  It was a strapless, ball gown made out of cotton eyelet.  It would be perfect for the spring wedding we're planning now, but alas I can not find it or a picture of it anywhere.

    OMG @ireland my dress is like a "half knockoff" of your dream dress! It's a bridesmaids dress by Jordan Couture with a lace bust, lace cap sleeves and a "fit and flare sillhouette with a slight train. There's even a bow and ribbon!! It cost me like $175 You should go into your local bridal store and see if they can make the whole thing with white lace it would be so pretty!
