Arabella here:
Some one making a wedding gown......... Some people have big budget for
weddings.  It's not unusual for weddings to cost $10,000.  I of course was
not one of them.  When I got married  in '91 I actually tried on a dress
made of pale pink  silk covered with beads and it looked fabulous on
me..........was very depressed the price was $3000.  That was my whole
wedding budget.

The silk store has some very high priced beaded silk.  They also have some
silk for $12 a yard.  many different colors.

Remember the dress you make yourself should be able to be worn at other
events.  I have a velvet dress and I only wear it in December   and January
cause it's not cold enough to wear it any other time.  I wouldn't do velvet.
or at least don't give it a train.
