Thanks!

September 18, 2011 1:53 am at 1:53 am #811267I can only tryMemberPlease see these threads on this site for suggestions:
There may be other threads on this site that can help. go to Google and type “Gown Gemach site:http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom” varbatim but without the quotes.
Also try “gown gemach new york”, “gown gemach brooklyn”, etc.
Good luck, and Mazel tov.

September 18, 2011 3:40 pm at 3:40 pm #811277happiestMemberThere is also Bridal Secrets in Cedarhurst. I don’t think it’s a gemach but she might be reasonbale. I don’t know. But they are really really helpful there!!!
September 19, 2011 3:41 pm at 3:41 pm #811278adorableParticipantwhat about brides gowns?
September 19, 2011 8:35 pm at 8:35 pm #811279happiestMemberadorable, bridal secrets in Cedarhurst also sells bridal gowns. I do not know prices but I do know some people who have said that it was cheaper to buy from them then to go to a gemach or rent one. It might be worth checking out. Mazel tov and hope all the wedding plans go smoothly!!
September 19, 2011 9:02 pm at 9:02 pm #811280adorableParticipantthank you! i would rather not spend money on a gown and use that for things that Ill have like a wig or things like that.
September 19, 2011 9:04 pm at 9:04 pm #811281happiestMemberMost gemachs charge too, no? I’ve heard that their are gemachs that are more expensive than rentals or buying but could be wrong about that…. either way, I def hear your point!
Gluck!
September 19, 2011 9:06 pm at 9:06 pm #811282adorableParticipanti can use that. thanks
September 20, 2011 2:25 pm at 2:25 pm #811283adorableParticipantbought a stunning gown last night!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 20, 2011 5:10 pm at 5:10 pm #811284mewhoParticipanti went to a few gemachs and they range between 75 and 200 dollars plus alterations and cleaning. still a better bargain than renting or buying
September 20, 2011 11:43 pm at 11:43 pm #811285bh18Participanti have a beautiful green blue floor length gown to give away l’shem mitzvah. its taken in to a size 12-14 but possibly can be opened up a bit. it is tznius, has same color but shiny stones on top and on bottom where skirt opens to reveal same material underneath. its completely closed, 3/4 sleeves and worn once. moderator can be middleman.
