    Why, Carl Langersleeves, the frum wedding gown designer ?

    OK, really – “ican” made me think of Carl Icahn, the financier.

    Corny, no? (corny yes!!)

    adorable, bridal secrets in Cedarhurst also sells bridal gowns. I do not know prices but I do know some people who have said that it was cheaper to buy from them then to go to a gemach or rent one. It might be worth checking out. Mazel tov and hope all the wedding plans go smoothly!!

    Most gemachs charge too, no? I’ve heard that their are gemachs that are more expensive than rentals or buying but could be wrong about that…. either way, I def hear your point!

    Gluck!

    i went to a few gemachs and they range between 75 and 200 dollars plus alterations and cleaning. still a better bargain than renting or buying
