Just get the Etsy dress!

Just buy that Etsy dress you’ve been eyeing!

I plan to do another post breaking down how we did our micro wedding under $6,500. But for now, I want to rave about my Etsy dress!

I went dress shopping one time with my mom at David’s Bridal and actually bought a dress there. It was plain and beautiful. But as days went on and I waited for it to ship to me, I had regret. It just wasn’t right.

I browsed Etsy previously and saved a few dresses but I never imagined I’d buy one without being able to try it on. But I found a dress from VickyMermaidBridal that I couldn’t stop thinking about. I finally just went for it. It took 2 months from the time I ordered to have it made and shipped to me. It actually arrived weeks earlier than expected. Linna’s communication throughout the process was so great and reassuring.

When it arrived, I was so overjoyed with how beautiful it was. And when I wore it on wedding day, all of my guests really gushed over how beautiful the details are. I felt so beautiful in it. I was actually sad to take it off at the end of the day because I knew I wouldn’t wear it again.

So I say just get the Etsy dress! If you’ve tried on dresses and none are hitting the mark, there are some beautiful options online. You just have to be okay with not trying it on before buying and possibly wasting your money if you don’t like how it turns out.

I measured myself very carefully but I recommend getting measured somewhere or having someone help you. But my measurements were so spot on I didn’t even need alterations. The dress was $380 and the tax and shipping from overseas brought my total to $447. The quality of the dress makes it look like a $1,200 dress, though. This shop also lets you customize if you like the lace of one but the details of another. For an extra fee they can customize it to your liking.

Cannot rave enough about how much I loved my Etsy wedding dress! 💗
