Hi Bees

Hoping I can get some advice from some savvy shoppers.

Where should I buy a Monique Lhuillier Magical corset and skirt from to get the best price? The cost I'm being told is about $7200. The crystal belt is an extra $990! So expensive I know but I'm in love with it!

I'm too scared to buy a second hand dress so would prefer to buy a new dress as I need to have it shipped to me and won't get to try it on beforehand. I also don't have time to make a sample sale :o(

As I'm getting it shipped I'll need my dressmaker to alter it at my cost- if you don't need altering can you ask for a discount?

Any advice about which stores to approach or how/ if I could ever ask for a discount for whatever reason is greatly appreciated! I've never shopped for a wedding dress before so don't know if asking for a discount is a big no no or if I'd be silly not to ask?

Thanks xxx

@Jeannine @ Small Chic: Thanks so much, I don't live in the US so an idea of stores that stock this dress is even a great help. I'll check them out!

@Soooexcited...:Hello! I see you live in Sydney so do I, I am selling my magical dress corset and skirt, it is a usa size10. It is an original purchased in America and brought over to Aus. I am selling it for $5,200 or near offer. If you are still looking to get this dress let me know! I know to purchase it new in Sydney its $11,990!

Thanks!

Can i ask how much you paid in the states for the top and skirt? I live in the UK and love the Magical high wasted skirt and Corset, but thinking it would be cheaper if I bought it in the US. It was £7080 for both items total.
