FOUNDExpensive and exquisite dresses are often

to be found in the for sale columns, or on Trademe. Many have been purchased or

imported from overseas and you may discover a genuine designer bridal gown at a fraction

of the original cost. You can always have it re-fitted or altered with beading or a trim

to your personal taste.
