Lazaro 3059--anything similar?

autumnsij

So I started on my wedding dress search and fell in love with with Lazaro 3059. I really don't want to try it on because it's way out of my budget and I really don't want to risk a "replica online boutique" store like Jasmine's. I'm sure people have had great experiences with places like that but I'm so weary to try! So does anyone know if there's anything similar out there at a lower price point ($1500)? Anything with the same feel, material, details, etc... 

Thank you!

You could go to a seamstress and have her "copy" the dress. 

Here's a few that were worn once that are for sale for $2800, maybe you could try to talk them down:

Stephen Yearick's dresses are similar but expensive so here are some once worn ones:

Part of the reason for the high price on that dress is the intricate beading and embroidery.  You may have trouble finding something very similar in the $1500 ballpark.  I would scour the internet for pre-owned or sample dresses.

I agree with PP. I have seen this dress in person when I went to the JLM boutique. It is very beautiful but super intricate, which basically equates to $$$. I would consider pre-owned or samples if you are looking for something with that level of detail or tied to this dress. I am wondering if you go to a bridal shop with the photo if they can help you find something with some similar elements? 

I also can't stress how much you really need to go try stuff on. I had a "dream" Lazaro dress too which was just above my budget. I tried it on anyways because FI said if I loved it to get it. Well guess what, I hated it on! It looked so different on me than I had imagined. Not to say that this dress won't be fabulous or something similar won't be fabulous on you, but I think my lesson was that getting tied to one dress didn't end up meaning anything to me. After trying on 40+ dresses, I went with a dress, a designer and silhouette I hadn't even considered.
