pretty custom made dress

i hope this person doesn't mind that i stole her picture from the knot, her dress is soooo pretty. she got it custom made, and looks very similiar to the monique lhuillier dress that I like. and it's half the price!! i'm thinking perhaps i should go the custom route as well. i think my next round of SF dress shopping (most likely will have to be some time in dec) will be to check out two custom dress makers that i've found, one of them is the person that made her dress. next sat will just be trying on uber expensive dresses that are totally out of my price range! =P
