I'm almost 5'2", but I'm still growing.my mom's 5'3". It would be nice to reach 5'3". Alterations are often a reality. Even though I'm not all that tall, many clothes are too short for me because I'm ectomorphic. I may fill out a bit but I'll probably never be Mama June Boo Boo, though it would be bitching to have such a impressive neck.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-13630349482410183342012-10-24T12:21:32.721-07:002012-10-24T12:21:32.721-07:00I think I spent about $500 on my dress and $125 or...I think I spent about $500 on my dress and $125 or so on alterations. I'm short, so I needed the skirt raised. I also had to have the shoulders taken in and a bustle put in. My sister spent twice that much on her silk gown. I was in grad school and broke when I bought my dress (which was actually quite pretty if I do say so myself). I could not see spending so much money on a dress I hope I'll only wear once.<br /><br />Come to think of it, I think I spent almost as much on the outfit I just bought for our 10th anniversary cruise.<br /><br />knottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127277724751832329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-43140484409704215292012-09-15T09:06:49.846-07:002012-09-15T09:06:49.846-07:00That sounds like my cousin Ryane and Aunt Tracy. ...That sounds like my cousin Ryane and Aunt Tracy. Ironically enough. Ryane's been planning her wedding for years. She has a word document saved on the computer with the stuff she likes; dresses, flowers, tuxes...etc. Talk about high expectations.

She said because of that, she will not complain if I spend anywhere up to a thousand, but I can't even see myself doing that. I like that idea of buying a white bridesdmaid's dress.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-29634123911818925592012-09-14T14:15:13.503-07:002012-09-14T14:15:13.503-07:00I spent under $400 total, including considerable a...I spent under $400 total, including considerable alterations, on my bridesmaid dress I wore to get married. I just ordered it in white and we were good to go. I can't imagine having the money or the desire to put down that amount for a dress I'm wearing for 1 day. <br /><br />Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07115154893444857726noreply@blogger.com
