Here are two brides' paths to designerlike gowns on the shoestring budget Barbara Test designed and sewed a gown on her daughter Laura, who tried on hundreds at highend bridal stores. Laura knew she wanted a strapless bodice that accentuated her curves, and her mother came through with a stunning dress in a fraction of custom prices!
