This is a closeup of the strap of my sister's wedding dress. The dress is currently carelessly draped across the living room couch that we never use, probably as a hiding place so that her fiancé doesn't stumble across it. In fact, I think he knows everything about the dress except for what it actually looks like.
My sister stumbled across this dress at a local thrift store while looking for medical scrubs for her fiancé. At the second store she found a dress, which not only fit her but was in the style that she'd wanted. Impressed at the low price, she bought it and commented that even if it didn't fit her or she changed her mind, it wasn't too expensive. At the register, she received another surprise: the cashier reduced the price by half.
Even with the potential alterations and cleanings which will add to the overall price of the dress, she should still come out at a small fraction of what she expected and planned to pay. None of that has been done yet, but with the wedding in six weeks from today, there's not much time left to do so.
