Maggie Sottero 'Grace'

Has anyone purchased the Maggie Sottero 'Grace' dress?

I am finding VERY different prices everywhere I go!

If this is your dress, what did you pay and how much were the alterations? The women at all of the stores I went to said that because it is a corset top, it wouldn't need much done to it.

Also, did anyone purchase the lace shawl and purse?

TIA!

MY girlfriend bought this dress...i feel like it was around $700...I would just take the lowest price you find, and pick which salon you like the best and tell them about the lower price you were offered... most bridal salons will meet lower prices...

I seriously wanted this dress.

I know at RK Bridal it was in the high $800's. Can't help with the alteration costs though! :(

Re: Maggie Sottero 'Grace'

I wore grace! I compared prices as well and actually ordered it from a store that didnt even have the sample they matched the price. I found the prices REALLY varied!) Mine came with the purse and shawl. the alterations were very limited just the hem and the bustle. the corset really does cut down on the alterations!

FM if U wnat more details...

I ordered the 'Grace ' dress and I paid $687 for it not including alterations. The alterations should come to about $125

Re: Maggie Sottero 'Grace'

I got my from Burtons and it was 680 with the purse and shawl. Lillettes wanted 950 for just the dress. Alterations will be minimal since they just have to hem it 1 inch and do the bustle. Good choice !!!!
