Is it cheaper to buy a dress and get it altered or have it made from scratch?

I was surprised that the alterations quote for a dress I was looking at came in at $500... now I'm thinking is it better to have a dress made?

How to wear my hair with strapless sweetheart lace dress?

I have grown my hair for 3 years now for my wedding (had to postpone 3 times due to covid and others) and i’m struggling to find a proper hairstyle. I love to have my hair down because of all the trouble i have gone thru to grow it, but i’m used to keep it up due to my work. What would be the best option with the dress that i have? I also have few clip on-hairpieces that i would like to include my hair as well.

Hairstyles that go with a strapless ballgown

Hi! I've just bought my DREAM wedding dress! It's a strapless ballgown. I'm wondering what hairstyle would suit this dress - it's classic I would say. My hair is dead straight! I'll be wearing a veil, too. Would love some ideas :)
