Any one have any suggestions where to get a gown for my 15 yr old dgr. I would prefer to buy but if anyone knows of any better rental places in flatbush I would check it out. I've checked a few dept stores but the stuff they have is to old looking.

hi. I have two beautiful gowns worn once that I would like to sell. They were worn by my daughters for their sisters wedding and they were made by valentina bridal on New Utrect. I dont know what size you are looking for. These are size 10. PM me if you would like to come over to see them.

Run to davids Bridal on Flatbush Avenue Right next to Target. They have gorgeous jumper gowns in like 40 colors and my DD has worn one of them as have many of my neighbors kids. They are under 200 dollars each and are yours to keep!

Between all the shell stores out there its pretty easy to match up a shell.

For a few dollars , they will give you a piece of the material and you can go out to get it matched.

Thanks for the offer themrs but my dgtr is a small size. Do you mind if I ask you what valentina charges to make up a dress?

I just bought my 15 year old a gown in loehmanns. I can email you a pic if you want to borrow it. She's a size 4

Wow. Everyone is so nice here with their offers. Did you go to the lohemans in Brooklyn? She is normally smaller then a 4 unless it runs small. Im always worried about borrowing in case something happens to the dress and also if it needs alterations.

Yes to the loehmanns in brooklyn. They have a very small selection (most not nice) you have to get lucky but with all the discounts it was $42!alterations were $65 (it was a size 8) - more than the gown itself. But that's still a great price. My sil rented gowns for her teenage girls in boro park but they paid $250 each. Do you want me to find out where it is?

Oh, & my daughter is a large 4. If you wanted to buy it off me, I would be willing to sell it.

I see when I wrote size 8 with the parentheses it turned into a smiley face. Smile

I didnt even start looking yet. I'm going to look around and hopefully I will find something.
What color and style is the gown. You were able to take it in 2 sizes and it still looks good?

It was a very small 8 & she's a big 4 so... But I'll let you know, I haven't gotten it back from the dressmaker yet. Smile

you can look online too. nordstrom sometimes has nice gowns, the jumper ones make them look less adult-like so be sure to look at those.
