    Has anybody used http://www.unique-vintage.com/ ? I've been looking at some of their dresses and they are gorgeous! And relatively inexpensive, too!

    Ive never bought from there so I can't help but, oh man, I have been tempted! I also love soo many of their dresses! And lots of the wedding-ish ones are so cheap, I just want to buy them to try on lol.

    I bought my dress there!!  I don't think most of their stuff caters to the 'traditional' brides out there, but it was perfect for our relaxed, vintagy barn wedding. :) The dress was more beautiful in person than online, and although i'll need lots of alterations it was still a RIDICULOUSLY good deal!

    My bridesmaids dresses are from there.  We are having a 50's style wedding and their dresses are perfect.  Good look, good fit and a good price.  They also gave the bridesmaids 10% off their order because they were buying their dresses for a wedding.  I recommend Unique-Vintage!

    @thismustbetheplace: Your dress is gorgeous! I'm totally NOT a traditional bride, so that's why UV interested me so much.

    @FutureMrs.M: Thanks for the tip! I did find quite a few dresses I'd like for my girls too!

    I voted "other".  I think they are overpriced and very shady.

    this dress:

    Unique Vintage? :  wedding 12298thumb.jpg?t=1284249017

    Used to be mine.  I found it at a thrift store for $5 and sold it on eBay for $20. 

    The problem?  They are describing it as an authentic 1950's dress and selling it for $450.  I consider myself to be somewhat of a vintage expert, and I can tell you this dress is NOT 1950's.  It is straight-up 1980's.  I can tell by the nylon zipper and the machine-stitched hem.  Also, the designer (Mike Benet) has only been around since 1965.
