Wedding Dress Solutions

My daughter and I just went to this event a week ago. Its a fundraiser and all dresses are donated for a cause . Every dress is P6,000. Depending on your wedding date, its not too late for you to participate in the next dash. they mentioned that another event would be coming up~ I think September, but don't quote me. I don't remember when, so you will have to check online. I'll ask my daughter about the link for info about the event and repost for u, but google "Manila dress dash" & see what you come up with. They are used dresses, stained at the hem , possible stains here and there, slight wear and tear, but fixable.

Sarah ended up getting an glamorous designer Valentino cream dress ( retails for $2000+), needing only a dry-cleaning. She got lucky. The dress fits perfectly ~ no need for alterations and no flaws to repair from use. The cleaning was P3,000. Just and few pointers if you participate. The event started @ 7am. We got there @ 6 & there was quite a line. The gals @ the front were there from 1am. Thats crazy , but if you want the pick of the litter, thats what it takes.

We were lucky, the dress Sarah picked was not a typical "poofy, princess" dress. It was a sleek, , no frills, classic style, and we found it @ the end of the event. It looks more cocktail dress style, so I think it wasn't popular. But we didn't know we were going to be that lucky, and the type of dress she was originally looking for may have been scooped up by early birds. If we had it to do over, I would suggest getting there @ 3 - 4am. Even if you go this route, and u find a dress @ this event, I think it would be smart 2 figure in cleaning and alteration cost.

I really don't see how you could get under P5,000 for a dress, going this route, unless u how a seamstress that can help you out for free. And I think this is as good as it gets ~ there were 800 dresses, so lots to choose from. Ill get back to you with a link about the dash.
