    I was flipping through the new Martha Stewart Wedding magazine, and I found the first dress that ever made me gasp . . . and then I realized it was a Priscilla of Boston and most likely out of my price range.  What an awful feeling . . .

    Thank goodness I have found other pictures of dresses I like AND even better, at least I didn't find this dress while out trying on dresses. 

    Here is she . . . Oh Lindsey, I love you and I don't even know you!

    That dress is BEAUTIFUL! But I found that the (expensive) ones I liked in pictures didn't always do it for me when I had them on. And I ended up with a dress that I probably never would have picked out of a magazine - and I loved it!

    It's more cleavage than I would want to show at my wedding, but I agree, it's a beautiful dress.

    I had that moment with SaBelle by Maggie Sottero.... alas, it wasn't meant to be. She didn't love me as much as I loved her!

    @Cole B - I generally think that Vera Wang and Monique Lhuillier are cruel.  Why do they make such beautiful things and why the price tags?  Vera needs to add a wedding dress into her Kohl's line!

    awhh, what a beautiful dress though. You might look around and see if there are any priscilla of boston trunk sales. You might be able to pick it up at a sample sale. Don't give up hope without a fight lol.

    @luli29 - Lindsey made you go holey moley?  Or did you try to attach a pic that didn't show up?

    I just saw it.  For some reason I couldn't see it at first.  It's gorgeous!  Very romantic with a vintage feel to it.  Will you be able to make it yours?

    I know...its so beautiful! I don't think I'll be ablet to afford it though..unless there is some crazy sale or something.

    I don't think I'd pay more than 1k...maybe 1,500 max (but I doubt I would go that high) for a dress. Hopefully I'll find a similar style I can afford.

    Yea, that's exactly what I have said about dresses.  Don't want to go over $1,000 and would really love to be under that.  I don't even think a trunk show would be able to get me the Priscilla of Boston dress in that price range :(

    Good luck finding your next dream dress!  The dress you'll hopefully take home!

    @LadyGoodman- I agree, it's just depressing to find an amazing dress just to realize that it costs a gazillion dollars.

    Here's a picture of my favorite- I don't get why they have a white dress on such a pale girl in front of a white wall

     

    The second picture is my other favorite dress. It's made by a designer from Chicago named Giselle and her dresses range from 2500-16000
