Dear Confashion: Looking for a Wedding Gown

 Q: Dear Confashion,

I need your help my wedding is after couple months and I couldn't find a suitable dress for the big day!! Could you please help me by asking your readers if they have a wedding dress that they own and want to sell or something?? I went through most of the known bridal boutiques in Kuwait and I wasn't satisfied by designs or sometimes the price is too high for my budget.

Yours,

A: Dear H,

I did read in the local newspapers of some stores that sell pre-loved and used wedding and bridal gowns but unfortunately I'm not sure where. I do know however that some stores in Kuwait sell somewhat reasonablly priced gowns like: Al Boshiya boutique in Salhiya, Al Othman Boutique in Mariam Complex in Salmiya, and  Pronovias boutique in 360 Mall. Also Net-a-Porter's wedding boutique has some really nice and modern selection that won't break the bank.

And finally maybe some of my readers can give you some suggestions or if someone wants to re-sell their wedding gown, please send an email to H at Hjr139@hotmail.com with a description and preferably a photo of the gown and price.

Dear H.

I'm sorry you are having a hard time finding your wedding dress, I can only imagine how frustrating this is. I agree with Confashions, there are so many budget friendly options in Kuwait, I do love Pronovias in 360, the dresses are really elegant and the prices are reasonable the wedding gowns on net-a-porter will go on sale very soon (in fact the US site is already on sale) ...you can also try http://www.shopbop.com/boutique-wedding-dresses/br/v=1/2534374302183381.htm?all the wedding boutique at shopbop ...there is also BCBG's wedding boutique http://www.bcbg.com/family/index.jsp?cp=11254547&categoryId=11032626&clickid=cat_leftnav_txt&view=all their dresses are a bit too simple so depends on what you are looking for really, you can also rent couture dresses there is a place in Galleria 2000? I think they are a bit over the top so it depends on what you are looking for in a dress.
Hope you find what you are looking for, and congrats! :)

Hi everyone,

I know the post is old but if anyone is interested in a gorgeous wedding dress that has never been worn please contact me at aliah.dehdary@gmail.com for more information and pictures. I happened to get the dress from the US and the designer made very few pieces of the dress. I had to change my wedding venue and make my wedding a mixed wedding and therefore had to find another dress. No exaggeration though, the dress is gorgeous and has a lot of beautiful details. Never been worn and going for a great price! I am sure you will not find the same dress in Kuwait.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Aliah

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
