I won't be trying on my Jim Hjelm dream dress :O(

I called the salon that carries Jim Hjelm and asked to make an appoint. and just verify that they carry the dress I like. Well they don't have it in their store, they'd have to order it.  So I'd have to pay for the shipping and handling plus another $50.00 for a borrowed fee.  If I don't by the dress I don't get my money back. I already know I can't afford the dress, so I was going to have a replica made. So plan B, take a picture of the Jim Hjelm dress with me to the salons and try on something similar. The dress doesn't make me, I make the dress!!! :o)

  • Thanks! There's tons of dresses that I've seen online that I like so I'm sure I'll find another dress and fall in love with it.  I'm just bummed because I can't try it on.  It's not worth the trouble of trying to find another place, I'll get over it.
  • Which Jim Hjelm dress do you like? There's a lot of designers that already make replicas or very similar dresses to their designs. I heart Jim Hjelm dresses, but their price tag was wayyyyy outta my budget.. I found many similar ones and would be happy to share.
  • Boo that is not cool!  I hope you find an awesome dress that you make look amazing!

  • Hey Gina! The Dress I like is the Jim Hjelm 8850.  My main concern was trying the dress on to see if it looked good on me.  But now that I can't try on the dress with out ordering it, I don't to try to have it made. I appreciate your feedback on how you got your replica, Jim Hjelm has beautiful dress but out of my price range too.
  • I agree, keep looking, you can find something similar and have alterations done-it is beautiful..but then again I was in love with a certain dress and ended up HATING it on me and choosing something entirely different, and I know people say that all the time!  :)
