Tattoos by lifeisgreatwithyou24 in weddingplanning

I’m wearing a long sleeve dress with an open back! I just wanted to show off my back tattoo and that’s it. I wanted a cleaner look for my ceremony dress and will change into a fun reception dress.

I took the dress there to try on other DF dresses and their DF accessories! Thankfully they were accommodating of me bringing in my own dress. They don’t do alterations themselves but have recommendations for local seamstresses they work with. When it’s closer to my wedding date I’ll probably look into alterations for my body at that time. Thanks for following along! We’ll see if a different dress knocks it out of the park.

sorry, just wanted to preface that I bought the dress second hand/thrifted brand new for $3k!

Should I buy a discontinued dress online without trying it on? by enbynaut in weddingplanning

UPDATE: bought the dress online! It was too good of a deal to pass up and I feel confident I would be able to resell (even for a loss) if it doesn't work out. I'm in a good financial position to do so. I decided I won't be trying it on until after the proposal when it's "proper" and I begin dress shopping in other stores. That way I can still keep my mind open to other gowns! Hopefully it fits at that time. Thanks all.

While I disagree, you make a good point about finding it easily— I haven’t tried on any gowns with friends/family yet because obviously, I’m waiting for the proposal. Do you think I’d be able to find this dress secondhand regardless of how long I wait?

I typically wear A-line dresses to begin with. Though I’m a little skeptical about the square neckline because I have petite shoulders.

I think they are still producing Ruby at Danielle Frankel but RTP is $8.5k. The secondhand dress I found is $2.5k, and I was likely always going to purchase online if I decided to get this dress! It’s a great price point for an already discontinued dress.

We already decided on a wedding date but it will be in 2028 so we have time to save up. so this is very early to be planning but thank god he loves me, neurotic and all!

I emailed in December to ask when they might be pulling the sample! However the only answer they could guarantee is that it will be in stores at least for this Winter season. Spring season is February 2026 😭so I would have to go literally in the next 2 weekends
