This bride-to-be scored this fantastic dress at a second-hand shop that sells clothes by the pound. You can read the full story here. (Thanks for sharing, Vilija!)
I love that it's eco- and budget-friendly. Wow! Double wow.
that is so beautiful! it is actually prettier than a lot of the dresses i've seen nowadays. i never even thought about a vintage dress! friggin sweet.
to answer the questions presented by the other blog, i would spend around $900 on my wedding dress (i know, i know...a lot)...but i would GLADLY buy a vintage dress for five dollars if i loved it enough. actually, now i feel the need to explore that option...

We're the kind of people who would rather be outside than in. We drink mostly water. A lot of it. We're the kind of people who put on costumes at Halloween and drive around town delivering brownies (with bows) to friends and random people in the service industry. We cook four nights a week and eat out three. We're passionate about making the world better, and we spend lots of time actually trying to do it.
