XP Wedding Classifieds--want to buy dress under $300--any chance? Anyone want to share?

I really don't want to spend more than aroun $300 on a dress.  I know I'm a 6 label size in David Bridal and around an 8 label size in Vera Wang.

Any help?  I am a little nervous to buy without trying on, thus the crosspost since I'm in CT.

Also--I'd be willing to share cost now with the agreement I would get the dress after your day?!

    Have you tried oncewed.com and preownedweddingdresses.com ?  Both have used wedding dresses. As for trying them on ahead of time, it might be best if you went to a bridal salon and tried on some dresses, so you know which ones you want and how they fit.

    You can also check out bridesmaids dress lines - most come in ivory, cream, or white!  And you'll spend only $150-250, usually!

    Mori Lee, Dessi, Alfred Angelo, etc. all have bridesmaids dresses that are long and elegant, and come in white.

    Also, JCrew, Nordstrom, etc. have some really pretty white dresses in that price range.

    Not sure where you are in CT, but maybe you could find one at a consignment shop. I bought my dress from Love Me Two Times in Taftville near Norwich, it was brand new. they have a large selection of bridal gowns. There is also a consignment shop in Glastonbury, but i'm unsure of the name.
