I don't really know much about wedding gowns, but I know I want one that looks good on me, and is a reasonable (inexpensive) price. I live in New York, but am moving to Australia with my hubby, and getting married there. Any suggestions on where I should buy my dress? I would assume it would be cheaper in the US...

First, congrats on your upcoming wedding!
As a Sydney-sider and a July '08 bride, take my advice and buy your dress in New York! For a wedding dress in Australia you're looking at upwards of $1,400 not including final fittings and there's a minimum lead time of 6-8 months for ordering.
Make sure when you bring it down on the plane that you take it as carry-on in a suit bag, let the airlines cabin crew know that it's your wedding dress and they'll be falling all over themselves to make sure it stays safe.
Good luck, and enjoy Sydney!

Custom wedding dress...?
Just Me!
Ok...I sew... and my brothers finance came to me with a farley simple wedding dress that she designed (sketched)... Well I told her that I don't have the time...and that I don't want to feel preassured to make her wedding dress! Because I love her so much and yes I sew all the time...but I never even made a wedding dress... so she understood and asked me if I could help her find a place to bring the design so she could get it made for her...I don't mind helping her do this...but I don't know where to.go for this...what kind of places will make her a wedding dress... and how much (roughly) would it cost? thanks
oh and if you want to know we live in ny
Answer
you are very wise not to attempt your sister's wedding dress if you have never done a wedding dress before. wedding dresses are not like ordinary clothes and the fabrics are difficult to work with. there is also a great deal of handwork which must be done on a wedding dress, so kudos to you for not doing it.
here are a couple of excellent tailors in new york who will do it without charging and arm and a leg. both of them start around 500 dollars for a custom made wedding dress. http://dynastycustomtailor.com/
