Well....we did something crazy! Brenna has been looking and looking at wedding dress options. We went into David's Bridal not too long ago for her to be fitted for a dress she will be wearing as a bridesmaid in a wedding in October. As we were there we glanced at the wedding dresses and didn't see ANY that were modest. Not a one. We realized they would all have to be altered and added on. Plus, the price tag was way too steep. Brenna has a budget we've given her. It's not much, but it is what we can do and her and I are determined to make it work. It's been so much fun watching the Lord provide in soooo many different ways. The costs of a dress at a dress shop with its alterations would be more than her entire wedding budget.
So, she decided to start exploring other options. She landed on Amazon and found a dress that looked beautiful. So she decided to order it. When the dress came (from China) we laughed very nervously (and a little uncontrollably) that this is one of the craziest things we've ever done! Then, we realized how little the package was. Seriously!! A Wedding dress in there!!!
It has been quite an experience and we've had fun! I'll eventually share the rest on that story, but some of it has to be a surpise for the wedding! ;o)
I'm glad you found an alternative to buying a wedding dress in the western shops. The prices are very high and it's hard to find something appropriately modest. I ordered a beautiful robe from China and sadly I didn't fit it because I didn't order quite large enough but my nephew's girlfriend enjoyed it. I can't wait to see the beautiful bride.
