Tip #3 - Get an Off-the-Rack Dress

Go off the rack for your dress – No big poufy dress for me. I'd rather not look like a stuffed cabbage or the top of a S'More. My dress cost less than $200 at a boutique and it was slim, elegant, silhouette conscious and perfect for a summer wedding in L.A. Think "red carpet glamour" instead of "old lace."
