overall i think the bridal/wedding industry is crazy. i shopped for a wedding dress at bridal dreams after seeing them a fews years before i got engaged, i just remembered where they were located, close to tuesday morning and the AMC theatre on hulen. i found a few nice modern looking dresses like i wanted, i will say they did have some older styles with sleeves and things, which some brides may prefer. they carry special occasions dresses, bridal party attire, and you can rent tuxes from a catalog there. one thing that bothered me was i asked what a particular dress was made of, one i really liked and was interested in buying, and i was told that it was made of silk taffeta. a quick flip of the tag inside as soon as the shop keeper walked away revealed that the dress was 100% polyester. nwo i dont much care what its made out of being as i wil only wear it once, but i dont appreciate being lied to. im not much of a fabric expert either, but i do know, silk comes from worms and is more expensive, and polyester does not and is cheaper. hmmm... as i started to leave i was handed a brochure and told that there was a sale of a certain percentage off if i bought my dress before the end of the month. no mention of this BEFORE i started to leave.. just a couple reasons why the entire industry sucks... when else would you think $800 is a reasonable price for an outfit you will wear ONCE!?
