How to Dress Up a Simple Wedding Dress!

     The thought of buying a simple wedding gown used off Ebay or even brand new, is enough to some brides cringe; but let's face it, sometimes options grow more narrow and we're forced to explore all our options.

I want to open your minds and maybe spark some creativity in today's modern bride. We live in a new era for weddings, because the rules of tradition and etiquette have come face-to-face with today's rebellious DIY brides. These rebellious brides have off-set the rules and opened our minds to new possibilities - making the way for brides who wish to show-off their creativity!

Today I want to show you a very simple gown that I actually found on Ebay recently. This gown is going for $119. Honestly, would YOU buy it? Could you envision wearing this for your wedding day?

Well, what if I told you this gown was designed by J. Crew? Suddenly a light bulb goes off in your head, "Hey, that's a good designer with quality clothes!" What if I gave your some details?


"Crafted of floaty silk chiffon with a delicate crinkled texture, it features a fitted crossover bodice with shirring at the shoulders and bust and a flattering wide waistband. "

Oooo! Now, allow me to show you an actual picture from the designer:
