I did exactly the same thing my dress. That said, yours has turned out amazing and so similar to the original Amsale dress. I got my dress preloved at http://www.stillwhite.ca

I did this – it was so wonderful! In a similar vein, buy the sample, i.e. floor model. They run in the hundreds instead of the thousands. Or check Craigslist.

I think it is both beautifully logical and more creative than most. I do this all the time, myself, sometimes with thrifted garments, sometimes with brand-new garments right out of the shop – and even jewelry, sometimes. It’s all about making your things YOURS.

I have the original JCrew dress. It is a great dress but very plain so I decided to go with something else. But seeing this gives me hope of transforming mine!!!

This really is SUCH an amazing dress. And I love her for putting the work and the love into it. Makes it so extra-special.

The first wedding dress I bought was a BEAUTIFUL Jessica McClintock from overstock.com for $55!!! But it was strapless, and I realized that it wasn’t entirely me. So I bought a Nataya (www.nataya.com) for around $150 at a small locally-owned store in my hometown (Mendocino), and it was super timeless and gorgeous, and more “me.” Check it out in the “Kate and Coalmine” wedding featured here on A Practical Wedding! Thanks again for that. . . very exciting.
