Fic question

[doyle]

A quite naive question from me, since I've never attended a wedding much less participated in one - where do you get bridesmaids' dresses? Are they custom made or bought off the rack? (I assume you can do both, so which is more common?) If they're custom made does the person have a shop, do they come to the house, what?

(This is for the backup Dawn/Xander fic, _green_, I promise I haven't forgotten *g*)

ETA: 763 words and Xander hasn't managed to make it into the fic yet. Dawn's just too demanding...

You can get them off the rack or custom made, and in a middle-class family, it's probably about even. (The pricing is even pretty much similar depending on where you shop.) Custom made would probably be considered classier, if there's somebody in the fic who'd care about such things. ;-) Anya's bridesmaid dresses were undoubtedly custom made by a blind lunatic.

If you get them custom made, unless you're quite well-off, you'd usually go into a shop to be fitted.

Ah, thank you!

(And on Anya's dresses: dear lord! I assume she designed them herself on some kind of Little Mermaid theme...)

Hahah:) Actually, I am a bridesmaid in an upcoming March wedding, and I saw stuff just as hideous at the local David's Bridal. :)
