Question: I bought my wedding dress very randomly when I was buying my bridesmaid dress for my soon to be sister-in-law's wedding. I picked it up on the sales rack and loved it! Also, I was under pressure to buy it since it was $99 and couldn't be put on lay-away. I bought it and still really love it! The only thing that I would like to be different about my dress is to add some flowers to it. I really wanted a dress with flowers, but I am trying to do this wedding on a very low budget and couldn't resist a cheap dress. I am considering adding one diagonal strap that has flowers on it and adding a large flower on the back of the dress as well.
Answer: What you describe can easily be done by a qualified dressmaker. So, how do you find one? Go to your local fabric store and ask the cutting counter employees who they would recommend as a seamstress who is experienced with special occasion fabrics and has the ability to design and sew an added feature to your dress. You are sure to get some good references. If you live in a rural area, you may have to call a fabric store in the nearest city to find a seamstress.
Wedding dress can run anywhere's from $99 David's Bridal have to thousands and thousands. It probably is cheaper to go to David's Bridal however I would suggest with all the experiences I have had with them in the past not to. I find there dress is reasonable price but I would rather pay a little more to have a better quality and better help that I received there. I did not buy my dress there but got the bridesmaids dresses there and it was a very big hassle. I did make an appointment and everything just didn't get the help I expected. In fact, my flower girl dress was picked out w/a sash the lady fitted her and everything knowing my color.
Although taking your dress to a bridal shop seamstress for alterations is an option, that cost could be more than you spent on the whole dress. I used to work at a bridal shop and believe me, the alterations are three times more expensive at those shops then they are on the outside by a private seamstress. Bridal shops make the majority of their profits on alterations, not on the sales of the dresses.

ALSO, at David's you will have to pay for your dress 100% up front but at a local shop you can put a deposit down and slowly pay it off. It just has to be paid off by pick up. That helps with a lot of brides who want the nicer dresses but do not have the money all at once.
