What are my options for an inexpensive wedding dress?
You could choose to wear a dress previously worn by someone in your family such as your mother or grandmother. You could also wear a friend’s dress. Another option is to buy a used dress at a consignment shop or through an advertisement in the newspaper. In some cities, there are even consignment shops that specialize in bridal gowns. Making your own dress, if you are an experienced sewer, can allow you to have a dress that would have been much more expensive if you’d bought it commercially, and will probably fit better and be better made than many commercial gowns.
