I am the ultimate bargain hunter and all family and friends know that and now i have pulled off the biggest bargain of all and cant tell anyone cos they dont have to know how much i paid for my gown - let them think it was expensive!
I tried it on 5 weeks ago, went on holiday and came back still thinking of it but concerned by the £1k price tag. Went in to see it and the one on the rack which fits perfectly was £425! So I snapped it up!
So let me shout it out loud (even if only on MSE)
I GOT MY DRESS LESS THAN HALF PRICE!
I feel better now!

I know how expensive they can be (my dream one was £950...no chance!), and considering that most of them are made in China anyway...blo*dy rip-off merchants! So even more congrats to you!0 -

tell everyone what a bargain you got hun
well done0 -
It is currently hanging in the spare room and I am dying to try it on again but I am going to take it through to MIL2B's on Saturday for safe storage. It's not that I don't trust my OH not to look cos he is honest but it is too much of a distraction.
Piccys will follow on the weekend
As I am involved in the wedding industry I am getting everything at a reasonable amount and this was one thing I couldn't get cheaper (well I obviously have now!) Anything we want I am just buying and adding to our business so effectively the cost is covered before our big day and will actually help pay off other things!I miss using my infinite coupons at Tesco!
