4.0 out of 5 stars Not necessary if you bought Bridal Bargains!, 23 Jul 1999

By A Customer

The book was very helpful with well researched information. However, if you bought Bridal Bargains by the Fields you would probably have all the information you'd need about dresses in that book. In addition to the great (albeit abbreviated compared to this entire book) section on dresses, their makers, fabric quality and sizing information, you receive TONS of valuable information for the rest of your wedding. If your dress is the most important part of your wedding, then this book might be a good addition to Bridal Bargains.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for brides-to-be, 17 Jul 1999

By A Customer

Don't go shopping for your wedding dress until you have read this book. The authors de-mystify the bridal gown industry, providing useful information on everything from gown production and distribution to the perils and pitfalls of dealing with bridal salons. You may not always agree with their assessments of various bridal lines (after all, taste is subjective), but you will obtain valuable information on how the whole industry works, along with great tips for saving money. My only criticism: the section on fabrics and designs is too brief and not accurate enough. But overall, this is a must-read that supplies the bridal gown shopper with information and confidence.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some helpful info, badly written., 20 May 1999

By A Customer

There is some helpful buying advice in this book, mixed in with a lot of misinformation and an annoying excess of supposedly humorous remarks. If the authors had stuck to their subject instead of constantly cracking stupid jokes, the book would be half the size it is.

Their descriptions of fabrics uses incorrect terminology and pronunciations, and their verbal descriptions of gowns is virtually useless-- whoever bought a gown just by reading about it? The authors also seem to have very provincial tastes, preferring Bonney gowns (polyester explosions) to Carolina Herrera (international couture).

The only valuable parts of the book are the parts about contracts, sizing, ordering, dealing with a bridal salon, and other business matters.

Get a copy at the local used book store, or borrow the library's copy--now there's a money-saving tip for you!
