Found the perfect dress today al while donating to the perfect cause. Philly hosted a brides against breast cancer event this weekend. It really is a great organization. They take dresses donated from boutiques + individuals and sell them to new brides. The money from the sales goes to granting wishes for breast cancer patients. The people who work the events all donate their time and are all super nice and super helpful. It really was a great time.
A little more about the dress. It's satin, with a fitted bodice and an a-line skirt. Its got gorgeous 2" beading along the bustline and the waist. The back has a line of buttons and a chapel train. There's also a beading motif on the bottom of the train. Its absolutely gorgeous on.
I tried to use the picture from the website, but it was locked, so I could only get a screenshot of the whole page. Sorry
I made a post about them here: http://www.weddingbycolor.com/raella/milestones/136400
I plan to visit them soon and hopefully find a beautiful and meaningful dress.
