Hi, <BR>I have never had this expereince, and can't give you any personal recommendations, but I got on Yahoo & searched for Paris wedding dresses and got 2 links....one of which was: <BR> <BR>http://www.robedemariee.net/ <BR> <BR>You might just try doing some searches on the web. <BR>Susan

hi susan <BR>thanx for the eply <BR>i tried many search engines and also les pages jaunes i got many good stores but teh thing is i can't tell which of them sells right away. <BR>thanx again

I would suggest you look at Tati, they are well-known for their bridal dept. (Tati Mariage) which is ready-to-wear, I'm pretty sure (Tati is a lower-priced clothing store); in fact, it is so well-known they just opened a store in New York City solely for bridal wear. Their URL is www.tati.fr, then go to Tati Mariage. I don't know which of their stores has these depts, so I would go to the main store, probably at 2 bde Rochechouart near Montmartre in the 18th arr; or perhaps the ones on place Republique or near Opera. There is a listing of addresses on that web site.

A friend of mine just got married in a Tati wedding dress...rather funny name (it means tacky or worn-out where I come from) but she and the dress looked lovely. And in that order: it wasn't just a beautiful dress coming down the aisle, but a beautiful woman wearing a dress that suited her to a 'T' (for Tati!).

hi <BR>thanz for all who replied. i checked out tati.fr but nothing interested me. can anybody else help me. <BR>thanx again.
