You can also try renting a designer dress. If you’re not going to preserve your gown anyway, why not rent it? In LA there are a lot of stores that do that.

Love Kenneth Cole–totally see why you want a dress from him!  As PP mention, your best bet is to try to buy a dress from a bride using Once Wed, etc. etc.  I would also suggest trying Oleg Cassini dresses.  Yes, his bridal line is at DB, but the dresses may be worth trying out; his other stuff is sold at Lord & Taylor.  The 2010 collection has some gorgeous gowns!

Good luck!!! 🙂

You can always buy a sample dress.  I got my dress for over 50% off because I purchased the sample.

Enoani Blue is reasonable as well.  I paid under 1000 for mine and I think it is nicer than the 4000 dollar dresses!

Shellybeth – I totally feel your pain and am in the same boat as you.  Good luck to you in the hunt for your dream dress!!

Definately check out http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/  I think that is the best way to get the designer dress you really want at a great price!

Maybe http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/dresses/13702/Priscilla-of-Boston-Vineyard-Collection-Ivy-Size-4.html

Good Luck!

Also try http://www.yourdreamdress.com – they have a 3 day return policy, which I just used.  The dress itself was lovely and in perfect condition, it just didn’t work for me.  They issued a refund no problem and offered me free shipping on another dress from their site.  I also used a 10% off coupon code, so it would have been a super deal if it had worked out.
