It takes some digging but they do exist. Let us do the legwork so you can relax and enjoy one of the most wonderful times of your life. Take a look at this week’s find:

I am cheating a little bit with this week’s dream dress. It doesn’t meet the price criteria but only goes over by $100 so I hope you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me. It is just so pretty and unique I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t share it with you. The shape gives it a vintage feel and the diagonal lines are universally flattering. But because it is fitted and one shoulder is exposed there’s still a little sex appeal. Just enough, in fact. It can be purchased for $1,600 at BHLDN.
