Can you believe that Shey (another Rockhouse bride) spent less than $400 on this beautiful dress, including tax and alterations?!
Her secret? It’s actually a Watters & Watters “bridesmaid” dress (style 5299). But Shey didn’t have to sacrifice quality or train length by going with a bridesmaid dress. The material is a luxurious duchess satin and she ordered it with 5″ of extra length for a longer train.
She also customized the look by removing the ribbon under the bustline, sewing on a sash, and altering the neckline into a sweetheart style. Here’s what the original bridesmaid dress looked like-
$280 Retail price$194 Online price matched by bridal salon
30 Extra length
14 Tax
20 Sash (5 yards of 2.75″ satin from Romanticflowers)
+120 Alterations
$378 TOTAL!!
Shey is visual proof that you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg to look absolutely beautiful on your wedding day.

that is gorgeous! I love the silhouette of the dress and how she tailored it to make it hers.
Wow, impressive! The dress looks awesome on her. It complements her figure so well. What a smart bride!
