Looking for an alternative to Jim Hjelm dress

daisymatic

Hello! I am in love with this dress, but it's $5k and I can't really justify spending that:http://www.jlmcouture.com/Jim-Hjelm/Bridal/Fall/2009/Style-8958I'm sure there are tons of dresses out there in this style (I love the lace, the sash, the style of the straps, the neckline, and the shape of the skirt). Has anyone seen anything like this?

I would try Jasmine Bridal, Casa Blanca Bridal, and Paloma Blanca. They should be alot less than 5k (at least they were when I was looking) and have the style of the JH you like. Good Luck!

You can add a sash to any gown.http://morilee.com/DressDetail.aspx?C=1&D=2196&P=1http://morilee.com/DressDetail.aspx?C=12&D=4510&P=1V9476

Thanks everyone! I am going to a big bridal store on Thursday, so I'll bring lots of ideas. I don't think I can pull off a halter top (I have pretty wide shoulders). If anything comes to mind let me know. Thanks again!

In that case here are some other necklines: http://morilee.com/DressDetail.aspx?C=1&D=2185&P=1http://morilee.com/DressDetail.aspx?C=1&D=2147&P=1http://morilee.com/DressDetail.aspx?C=12&D=4173&P=1VW9340 S8551 T9612
