They do have a VW line that they call the "White Label"!!!<br /><br />There's a fit and flare organza dress that's very similar to the ones she was trying on, and it comes in blush, ivory and white. (Two, actually, but one of them is a one-shoulder version.) I'm guessing that the material and workmanship may not be quite as good as the trunk show couture quality, but for $1248 vs the $5-8k, it might be worth a look. You can see them all here: http://www.davidsbridal.com/Browse_Bridal-Gowns-Shop-By-Designer-White-by-Vera-WangAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-3535331488463080362012-03-02T19:26:33.903-07:002012-03-02T19:26:33.903-07:00I agree, your daughter is just gorgeous!

No pictures of you in your florals and turquoise, though?! ;-)<br /><br />I'm getting married 8/4, and bought my dress (a Tadashi Shoji lacy overlay dress) at Nordstrom for $388. I see that they have a Vera Wang Lavender label that's much simpler than the dresses she tried on for $550... and a few really pretty layered Theia and other brand name dresses in the under-$2k range right now. <br /><br />If you don't have one with a Wedding Suite near you, but are tempted by a dress, they do have free shipping and free returns. I actually did that with one dress before I bought this one... would recommend reading the reviews and/or calling them for sizing, though. One Tadashi Shoji dress I tried fit perfectly at a size 4... and that (really sexy, but too formal for my wedding) Nicole Miller pintucked strapless dress was form-fitting in a 12. Makes shopping all the more fun, doesn't it?! :-PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-66604101266244939712012-03-02T16:22:10.971-07:002012-03-02T16:22:10.971-07:00Hey, Lona;
