Question: I was wondering how much it would cost to have a mother's dress tailored or if it would be cheaper to get their own dress? My fianc was just offered her mother's wedding dress but their builds are drastically different. My fianc is petite, 110lb, 5'4", B-cup while her mother (who is now deceased) was 200lbs, 5'6", D-Cup. Would it be cheaper for my fianc to get her own dress (all the ones she seems to like are in the $100 - $200 range, or would it be drastically cheaper to have the dress tailored to her?
If you don't get sentimentally attached to things, renting is likely the way to go. If you think at all that you may want to have a dress that you can hold onto then I'll suggest buying one. I wasn't about to go out and dish out even a thousand dollars for a dress, and I ended up finding THE ONE at a local consignment shop for less than half what it would have normally cost, and it actually was "brand new" as the previous owner called the wedding off last minute.
Just keep in mind not to pull the measuring tape to tight. Make sure you can breathe comfortably when the measuring tape is around you. It is better to have a dress a little big then too small. A seamstress will have an easier time taking a dress in then trying to make it bigger.
I went into davits to try on dresses I knew would be sold at the online store. I tried them on then told them I needed to think about it. I am still waiting to get the dress; it is risky however my wedding is next summer so I have plenty of time. The dress comes in about a month. And it only cost $140 when the original was $1100.
I didn't wear my mom's wedding dress when I got married. Not only was it way to big, but I didn't care at all for the style. I designed and made my own dress to my personal taste, and wore her veil instead.
