It's cold outside, but if you are planning a spring or summer wedding, now is the time to start shopping for a dress. J. Crew currently has this lovely silk gown, for $325.00. Yes, really!

The Goddess dress features slim straps that cross in the back, and a faux wrap front, and comes with a removable sash. It also has a bit of a train, for a little more drama. This is a dress that is perfect for a casual garden or beach wedding; imagine it with bare feet or simple sandals. Pair it with a chapel-length veil or a simple wreath of flowers, or go minimalist for a simple, urban look.

J. Crew does not carry bridal wear in stores, so you will need to order the dress. I suggest you measure carefully and then order in THREE sizes: the size you think you will wear, one size up, and one size down. The gowns that don't fit can be returned to a J. Crew store near you.
