Dress!
The one that belongs to the girl in Winnipeg is too small, so that's out. Last night I posted notes all over the internet in about 7 different wedding-related forums to see if anyone has it second-hand, but thought I'd try phoning around and see if I can find it somewhere new for cheaper than $825, which is what it is here. Then I can take that price to the store here & see if they'd match it or not. And if not, I'll order it from that cheaper store.
So far, I've had quotes from three stores in BC and one in Alberta. The AB one is $750, so when you account for the difference in tax, a BC store would actually have to be $700 to match that in the final with-tax price. There's a store in Kelowna that sells it for $750, but for the next two weeks they have a sale that if you buy a dress there, you get either $150 in-store credit, or $100 off the dress. So that works out to $650. So that's $175 off the price, plus saving $25 in tax on the $175.
I've still got two stores in BC and one in AB that are going to phone me back, and six in BC and sixteen in AB that I haven't even phoned, so it's possible it could get cheaper yet, but I'm pretty happy at saving $200 already!
