So, I went dress shopping with my mom and sister and after a terrible experience at David's Bridal (I left red hot and crying) we stopped at a lovely little boutique and had a great time. BUT my mother insisted that I try on whatever I wanted and I fell in love with a dress that is out of my budget. After looking online I found the dress used for half the price. It even has the bustle and the neckline altered to a sweetheart like I wanted, so the only alteration I should have to pay for is the length.
Anyway! I guess I need some reassurance that I am doing the right thing by buying it used. Has anyone else purchased a used gown? Any issues? Was it exactly what you wanted?
