Thank you.

I had been looking for a shop of that type and had my husband call around to some of them in the East County/SE Portland Area and he said the salespeople were snobby to him.... , so if you hear of one let me know. I had wanted to make my wedding gown into keepsake items but it may be too much detail work involved to tear it apart for that purpose (I got married Sept.25, 2004 so no worries about the tear word, LOL!)........anyway; it would be nice if such shop opened up and had availability or willing to take a chance on selling a wedding gown, we were told to list it on Ebay and No Way am I doing that again, Nope No Way, Nada Ebay Nada!!!

Hey Sofey, where did you buy your dress?
Sofey saw rentals ($200, poor condition) where she bought her wedding dress. There's a bridal consignment store on SE Barbur associated with a large general consignment shop. I can tell you that the consignment shop "Second to None" in Vancouver definitely closed over a year ago even though it shows up in online yellow pages.
Good luck, and let us know what you find!

Thank you for your responses. Any suggestions on inexpensive invitations other than Gartner Invitation Kits?

As we (my family consisting of my now husband, my daughter (yes daughter,  and my son) were riding on the max-train to the zoo tonight, I noticed huge lettering on the side of the building near Skidmore Fountains of a Consignment shop and it looked neat and clean from the view I had!! I didn't get the name of the shop but it's worth looking into......also, I saw a few 'thrift-shop' types on the main line downtown. Good luck sweetie! I had mentioned before that I wanted the 'church ladies' to dwell on the idea of making my gown into keepsake items.......not so sure that will work out now so I'm back to the idea of the consignement or a sale of my dress and I say Ebay is not a good choice and that is my personal opinion of course.
Hope something pans out for ya, feel free to PM me and we can work on this together ok???? Hugs!!!

I bought it in Mesa, Arizona from a shop owned and run by 2 Iranian sisters. Probably not very convenient for any of you :-)

Really, wow. I live in Chandler and would do anything to be able to move back to Oregon.
Maybe you and I will switch, Cynthia Johnson.
Tell her Magic Wand Bridal on Southern across from Fiesta Mall is a great place . . .
I found them because I wanted an Alfred Angelo dress and they were a dealer. They have all sizes too.

Ebay. Please don't try to sell it here, because the post would have to be deleted. The only reason I left this post up at all is because suggestions were asked for ways to sell the dress.
Thanks
