Can't find dress!!!

Hello ladies. I would love a little advice here. I am getting married next October. So, I have plenty of time to deal with this small dilemma. I have fallen in love with a Mon Cheri gown. It is called the "Isabella." I absolutely love it. I've only been engaged a little over a month and I know it's the perfect dress. It has beautiful embroidery and the cut is perfect! The only problem is that I can't seem to locate this dress any where. I've looked at different website. Rarely, I find pictures of the dress but no information about where to find it or information about the prices. I'm hoping to take my time and find this dress at a discount somewhere! But, it's a little difficult to be strategic considering I can't even find the darn thing to try on or price!!! What do I do?

Southernthoughts is this your gown? http://www.mon-cheri.co.uk/bridals/25266.htm
Style #25266 Isabella is what you'd ask for when you call the bridal boutiques. Where arew you located? That's a beautiful gown.

Re: Can't find dress!!!

Yes! That is my dress. I absolutely love it!!!! Everytime I see it, I'm sure it's the one. But, I can't find it to purchase on the web. I'm having a difficult time figuring out the price. I see an estimate on theknot.com. But, I'm looking for different options. I would consider buying a used dress, renting it or buying it at one of those warehouse discount places. I can pay the $1300 for the gown if I choose, but I don't want to be taken advantage of - especially if I'm not against other options. Any suggestions about how to 1. find the exact price 2. find the dress using one of the three alternatives I listed above?

Thanks!

Ooo that's so pretty. I know our girl is going to hook you up.
Phenomonique is like that. Thanks girl for taking care of us
lost lambs. LOL!! Southernthoughts I know how you feel, I
had to have my dress but the price the other stores wanted
was unreal. But thanks to Vibride I found Mo and my dress is
at my mothers hous right now. (and I'm grinning like the cat
that swallowed the canary).

Re: Can't find dress!!!

Thanks! I'm happy that you ladies like my dress. I love it. When I see it, I get chills. Is that horrible? But, I still have no idea where to find it. I have to try it on to see whether or not it will look nice on me. Do you all think that I should go ahead and try to buy the dress now? I've been working with a nutritionist and I've come down from a 20 to a 16 over the last six or seven months. I can't imagine that I would get lower than a 14. Should I wait to get the dress until later in the year? My wedding date is 10/21/05. Or, should I just buy it and pay for any of the necessary alterations? First, I have to find it!!!!

Re: Can't find dress!!!

Southernthoughts, congratulations on your weight loss. Although my dress size is a 16, I had to go with a size 20 gown (as you probably know the gowns run smaller than your actual dress size). Since you are so close to your wedding date, I would order the dress if I were you. If you lose more weight before your final fitting -- then it would just have to be altered. I did not lose any weight by the time of my final fitting, and I still had to have some alterations. Good luck with finding the gown.

Blessed be the Lord my strength ......
