I am not a fan of wedding dress shopping. At most, I've been able to find dresses that were ok. They were serviceable. They would do. And I was sort of fine with that. After all, I've come to grips (mostly) with the fact that no matter what dress I get, I will still look like me. And I probably won't find exactly what I want. I'm not even sure I know exactly what I want. So I am perfectly willing to settle for adequate.
Except that even these "adequate" dresses are priced at upwards of $500. And that's not counting alterations, which could be another $400 or even more. So now we're talking about paying nearly $1000 for a dress I don't even like that much. And I just . . . can't do it.
So instead, I bought a white cotton dress off Ebay for $50 (it's a style I already own and love in electric blue). I'll use that as an emergency backup dress and keep prowling the department stores for something more affordable.
