help me find a similar (less expensive) dress?

see-those-stars

I LOVE this dress by Monique Lhuiller but two problems arise: one it's from the spring 2011 collection and two I could never afford it.  Do you have any suggestions of a similar style of dress? 
Here's the link; it's the last dress on the page.

Thanks so much for your help!

I know it isn't very similar, but your dress reminded me of this one from David's Bridal:

I think it is SO pretty! 

PS.  What is it that you like about the dress?  Is it the skirt?  The shape is very popular, sweetheart neck with a drop waist.  I think that style of skirt is a new-ish trend, so I bet you will find similar dresses coming out soon.  Good luck!

noodle_oo: Yeah I'm a big fan of the sweetheart neckline and recently discovered I actually like a dropped waist on myself.  The skirt is just so unique - I feel like it would flutter really prettily when I walked down the aisle... haha.  Thanks for the suggestion - that DB dress is really pretty too.

Here are a couple of SIMILAR ones, but none are exact:

hippie4yahweh:  Thanks!  That Allure one is really pretty; my FI wants me in a strapless dress so I'm not sure.  Hopefully more similar styles come out from other designers in the next little while.  I am in no rush to buy my dress. (Good thing!)

I know I'll probably catch a LOT of heat for this, but check out www.florasdress.com. I got my dress from them, and they were so nice about customizing it the way I wanted.  THey have a "Live help desk" 24hrs a day. My dress is EXACTLY what I wanted...down to the little details!

Marisa, and Forever Yours copy many of those.  Try there.

Pearl's Place carries Monique, but not discounted.  But they are very familiar with the copies. One of my friends ordered one at a great price and received it fast.  So you might contact them.
