Kylie is going to be a flower girl! - Question on dress
coasterqueen wrote: My cousin is getting married in September and asked us this weekend if Kylie could be the flower girl. I was THRILLED of course. My cousin sent me the link yesterday for the dress she wants Kylie to wear and it's $160.  WTF? I wish I would have asked before saying yes.  Not only that but it's even more expensive if I order it online. If I travel 3+ hours to Chicago to get it it's a bit cheaper. This is freakin' ridiculous. Am I nuts? Is $160 for a flower girl dress cheap? Not only that but I'll have to buy shoes, tights, get her in to a stylist in Chicago (wedding is in Chicago), which also means more nights staying in Chicago. 
luvbug00 replied: I remember looking at dresses for my wedding for mya and they were between 160-250 in price range. I found one i liked and sewed it myself! lol! I'm wayyy too cheap. if you have a crafty seemstress friend see if the bride is ok with having it copied as close as possible instead. we spend $70 on the dress. head to toe. (acessories and all)
lisar replied: Can you post a picture of the dress. My DD was just in a wedding and I still have the dress and paid that much for it. Ya never know it could be the same dress. And perhaps the size you need. Post a picture.
Kaitlin'smom replied: wow thats HIGH to me, my last bridesmaid dress was not even that much.
coasterqueen replied: Here's is the pic of it. I don't believe this is the color, though. She said the color is candlelight with an off-white ribbon.
Kaitlin'smom replied: its pretty what color is candlelight? some kind of white? it looks pretty simple, maybe you can find it cheeper someplce else. Are the older girls wearing similar desses or is she different?
amynicole21 replied: Are you sure you can't find one on ebay? There are always used dresses on there...
coasterqueen replied:
I have no clue on what color candlelight is or what the bridesmaids are wearing.

I will have to say this and dont get mad at me but its ugly for that price
coasterqueen replied:
 You are funny. It is ugly for that price.
lisar replied: Sorry this is the only one that I have. But that dress is very pretty.
lisar replied:
Let me know if the link dont work.
gr33n3y3z replied:
the good about the dress is this it wont be hard to make
I would try and have someone make it and you should be able to find it in a local bridle shop
gr33n3y3z replied: look what I found its the same I think

coasterqueen replied: Lisa,
It's not the same, but close. I planned on calling DB and seeing if they carry the particular dress, though. I already have to go out there to have her sized and will have them tailor a dress, anyways. Thanks for looking!

109.00 for KC1147
99.99 for KC1144
89.99 for KC 1142
And those prices are CANADIAN funds. I called and asked them.

This link above is a link to a wedding dress that is "candlelight" colored.
There is also a link to a paint color, pretty close I guess...

You have to scroll down to Candlelight
MommyToAshley replied: I think the flower girl dress Ashley was going to wear was around $99. But, we went to a bridal outlet and found it. I think it was originally around $179. I would think that the Chicago area would have a few bridal outlets... I would look there, you will probably find the exact same dress cheaper.
kimberley replied: kinda rude of her. i'd be sending her links of affordable dresses nearby and let her pick one of those.
LOL Lisa, you are hilarious!
