Girl Meets Gown

Bridal salon owners offer suggestions for any bride looking for the wedding dress of her dreams.

Three brides' stories are featured in every episode of 'Girl Meets Gown.' In this episode, sisters Lindsay and Lauren are only a year apart, and share practically everything. So when they both got engaged to be married in the same year, they figured they'd pool their dress budgets and get "twice the dress". It sounded like a great idea, but their stylist, Marianne, knew that finding one wedding gown that two women could love equally wouldn't be so easy. So in the end, which sister will sway the vote - the older sister, Lindsay, or the baby, Lauren, who always gets her way? Twenty-two year-old Jessica is unlike any bride who's walked into Startust Celebrations before. Jessica's a free-spirited "Texas Gypsy" who's planning a ceremony in a clearing in the wood. Her stylist Melissa must find a designer perfectly suited for this earthy bride. And, as if the stakes weren't high enough, Melissa has less than a month to get this gown for Jessica! Bride number three is Charlotte, a busy, Dallas attorney, who has ten equally busy bridesmaids. No one in her wedding party lives nearby, so Charlotte is on her own to pick out the bridesmaids' dresses. Charlotte recruits her reluctant fiance to help choose the dress, and stylist Myra breaks out her best advise for choosing one style which will suit the variety of body types in Charlotte's party. But when the ten women finally get to Dallas to try on the dresses, it's just 48 hours before Charlotte's wedding! That means there's no time for alterations if the dresses don't fit...
