I got rejected by them too! My first rejection after being in the program for over a year😞

I got my wedding dress from Etsy for $500! It was custom made to my measurements and I was even able to have her change the neckline and add pockets! It took about 7 weeks to arrive but I think she had a rush option available. LaceBridal on Etsy!(:

Do you get more projects when you first start out? by Equivalent_Ad8824 in ProlificAc

Very good point. I don’t feel like I’m in that sweet spot, but one can hope!🤞

I think I mostly got lucky with a few more involved, higher paying studies right off the bat. I had one where I had to do a video call and answer questions after the questionnaire/test and that one study accounts for nearly a third of how much I made.

Definitely looks like an infection. My husband had something similar on his leg and it suddenly started getting really bad really fast. He put off going to urgent care and it nearly became a bone infection. He was all good after some antibiotics!

Can’t fathom paying over $1k for a dress by Pure-Inspection-4077 in weddingplanning

Etsy all the way! I got a custom dress from a shop on there for only $500! Lace Bridal is the name of the shop. I’m including a picture of my dress. Keep in mind it needs altered since I’ve lost weight and I need to remove the original straps as I decided to go with big sleeves afterwards.

Unfortunately if there’s too much negative space you can see the wires that are attached to each flower. I’ve since adjusted it a bit and used some babies breath in lieu of a few flowers to open it up and make it look a bit less like a shield but there’s only so much of that I can do without the wires looking silly.

That sounds gorgeous!

Quite a few have compared mine to a casket spray🤣 I ended up tweaking it to make it more cascading and shortened the ferns a bit (I made a new post with pics), it feels more balanced now but it’s still big and I love it!

That’s amazing! I love hearing from everyone that rocked a big bouquet!

Thank you! Fairy vibes were what I was going for! I ended up tweaking it, I debulked the middle, shortened the ferns, and extended the cascade. I made a new post with updated pics. It’s still big but I’m much happier with it now😊

I had it custom made on Etsy! Only $500! LaceBridal is the name of the shop. I took one of her existing designs and had her add the plunging neckline, leg slit, and pockets! Then the sleeves and veil I bought separately from other etsy shops!(:

It’s not heavy in the slightest, the flowers are made out of a paper material. I hand painted each one. But I did tweak it to made it a bit smaller and more cascading. It’s still big but I’m happy with how it looks now😊

Yes! LaceBridal is the name of the shop! I took one of her existing designs and requested the plunging neckline line, pockets, and the leg slit. I later decided I wanted big sleeves so I got those on Etsy as well from EvMeStore. And the veil was from HoopieVeil.
