I rented my wedding dress in POP. Best thing I ever did. I was living down there and had to come home to Canada several months before my wedding so I went and tried on dresses and reserved one before I left POP. I went with my husband's aunt (Dominicana) which made things easier. I found an absolutely beautiful dress that was silk and very in style at the time (2005). Total cost: aprox. $60 U.S. including alterations!!
I arrived on a Friday for my Monday wedding. I went to the bridal shop on Saturday and it was reserved so I just had to try it on for it to be fitted. The owner did the alterations overnight (very professional) and I went back on Sunday and picked it up. It included the veil and ummmmm..... having a memory lapse but that frilly thing that you put under your dress to make it more poofy.
I brought my shoes from Canada and hair piece, etc. It was really light and airy and temperature appropriate. The woman at the store was absolutely amazing. I cannot remember the name but it was on 27 de Febrero in POP and not too far from the Central Park. At the front of the store they sell decorations, balloons, invitations, etc. for parties. I also bought our wedding invitations there.
I have literally had dozens of compliments on my dress from photos taken from my friends in Canada and it saved me the hassle of having to bring it on the plane and probably at least $1,000!
