Help find this dress.

texastam

Hello lovely ladies!

I have found a beautiful dress that I cannot get out of my mind. I would like to buy it online (I know the risks but I have gone to many bridal stores and they don't have anything exactly like it). I will post a picture below and if anyone can get a price/website where I can find it or a dress that is very similar that would be a great help! I have looked on Tradesy, David's Bridal, pre-owned dresses, etc and can't find anything like it. Eeeeek! I am really stressing. Also, my budget is $500. Can anyone help?

P.S-It is in the Sweetheart range, 6048. I love the cut, ruching and beautiful lace back. I can't find anything like it.

Stores that carry Sweetheart dresses: http://www.sweetheartgowns.com/store_locator.php 

Perhaps you can call or email them and ask?

Thanks for the reply. I have already checked the stores that stock the sweetheart line. They either don't have that dress in store or they want to charge way above what the apparent retail value is. I also would prefer to order online. Thanks though!

Please do not order from these types of websites, OP!  It is a Chinese knockoff site and "They make cheap (and I mean cheap in the negative sense) copies of your dress by looking at a photo of the original.  Could anyone make a copy of a $1500 dress for $289?  Of course not!  Don't waste your money on junk.  There are a few places in the USA that sell authentic dresses at a reduced price.  They are not internet ordering sites.  They have brick and mortar stores, and you must telephone them to place an order" (Source: http://forums.theknot.com/discussion/1039676/how-to-shop-for-your-wedding-dress)

Try a reverse Google search. Get the link or upload it.  Go to Google, click images, and click the little camera to the right of the search box.  Put the picture in, and it will find it.  Perhaps there are listings on consignment sites.  As stated above, just watch for knock offs.

I contacted a store that has a website and asked them some questions, this was their response:

"Hello,

Thank you so much for your inquiry. We do carry the Sweetheart collection and that particular style is in stock in a size 12. It is available to order in ivory or white and in different sizes. We can answer more specific questions in person if you would like. We are one of the only distributors of this line in New England. We could make you an appointment to come in and try on this gown and other gowns of interest. Just give us a call at 207-445-2511.
Thank you,

Hussey's General Store

And this is their website:  http://husseysgeneralstore.com/the-sweetheart-collection/

Thanks! I emailed the same site (Hussey's) as well but the smallest they stock it in a size 4 so I am going to have to look for another dress. I also did a reverse image search and they has helped alot! Thank you all for your help! So great to know that people are willing to help.

Hmm, bridal does typically run small though and perhaps a seamstress could take it in if needed.  Or maybe you could ask a seamstress who has experience making custom gowns and have her make the dress for you based off of pictures?

Thank you for your help! Do you know of any seamstresses?
