Conference turris::womannotes-v2

    Well, I suspect the best we can do is point you to the same
    conference we pointed Beth to:  ERIS::THREADS.  Press the Select
    key, or KP7 (for "the 7 key on the KeyPad on the right") to
    add to your notebook.

    I'd say that the average "low" price for a wedding gown is about
    $450.00.  I've looked around the Marlboro/Worcester area and really
    haven't found anything I liked under $600.00.
    
    I wish you much luck---I went through the same thing.
    
    ... I finally found what I liked and paid a lot of money for
    it.... but the eight hours that I will be wearing it are worth every
    cent that went into it.

    Re wedding dress bargains:
    
    There are often ads in DTW (probably other regional/cluster DEC
    newsletters as well) for wedding dresses, worn once (or sometimes
    they say 'never worn').  This might be worth checking out, as well
    as the ::CLASSIFIED notesfile (anyone know what node that is on
    now?), and the Want Advertiser or local newspapers.

    I don't think we spent $500 on our whole wedding, including the
    reception . . . 
    
    --bonnie, happy for you but a little envious . . .

    If you're in the Boston area -- Filene's basement usually has a
    wedding gown sale around September -- usually advertised in the
    newspapers.

    
    
    	Try Arthur's off of the old Route 62 in Hudson, MA for a
    	real good bargain on wedding gowns.  Might have to have
    	it cleanned but might be worth the price.  From friends
    	who have bought there, I have heard great things about
    	what they could get.

    Gheri,
    
    The date is set for 5/20/89.  
    
    I'm going to try looking at some of the places mentioned in thiis
    conference and also consult with a seamstress who was recommended
    to me.
    
    If I still can't find what I want I'll let you know.
    
    Thanks very much for your reply,
    
    Denise
    
    P.S.
    THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!!

    We've been having a *lot* of problems with the cluster...funny dates
    is just one of them.  (Dunno, Suzanne, what are they?  These are
    8800s)

    	RE:  .12
    
    	(This is great!  I get to talk about something non-controversial
    	for a change!!)
    
    	Maggie, your 8800's (Nautilus cpu's) are probably running Version
    	7.0 or 7.1 of the console software (on the Pro 38N that 8800's
    	use for a front end.)
    
    	If so, ask your system managers to set time on the PRO before
    	booting VMS (using a SET TIME command on the console using PRO DCL.)
    
    	When VMS comes up, they will have to set the time again (using
    	a SET TIME=value command.)  The console release notes say that
    	all you have to do is to type SET TIME <cr>, but they lied.
    	You have to put the actual time in for each node of the cluster.
    
    	When you get Version 8.0 of the console software, you won't
    	have this problem anymore (hopefully.)
    
    	By the way, the chief symptom of the time bug (under versions
    	7.0 and 7.1) is for time under VMS to come out about 3 -4 months
    	ahead (which tracks perfectly with the fact that the date for
    	this note is in late December.)
    
    	We hardware techies come in handy sometimes, yes?   :) :) :)

    
    	P.S.  Slight miscalculation on the number of months from
    	now til the end of December.
    
    	Definitely helps if you load the Time Of Day Register in
    	your head with the correct month before you start counting...
    	
    	(Oh well.)  :)

    Try the Modern Bride and Formal shop on Elm Street in Manchester.
    I did not buy my dress there but I did purchase the bridesmaids
    dresses there.  They also had an in house seamstress that made sashes
    for the bridesmaids gowns and made the flower girls gowns to match
    (they were much cheaper this way compared to ordering).  I don't
    know if that seamstress designs bridal gowns but you might want
    to ask.
    
    She also seemed to have a large selection of last years samples.
    Again they may need to be cleaned but some of them were gourgeous.
    
    Phone number 625-5995.
    
    Best of luck with your wedding.  The money I spent on my dress was
    well worth it, even if it was only for 10 hours.

    Denise,
    
      I made (with the help of my best friend) my wedding gown.  By
    the time I got all the materials, trimmings, ect. I spent somewhere
    between $85-$90.  It was a lot of work, but well worth it.
    
      Whatever you decide to do, congratulations and best wishes to
    you and your fiance (sp?)

Try the J.C. Penny bridal catalog.  Good stuff, cheap.  Take it to someone
for modifications if you want.

    I'd second Filene's basement in downtown Boston.  They have designer
    wedding dresses for $50, $100, just need plenty of patience.
