The market may be in a turmoil, but the brides seeking for a couture look is booming, with private customers doubling or even, in some houses (Dior, it is rumoured), trebling sales. Nobody in this self-indulgent world has any qualms about ordering clothes at any prices. However, in LipStick Jungle, latest TV series, thinks differently about couture dresses as quoted from the show, “There’s no money to be made in couture dresses.” With couture dresses becoming less expensive these days and the average price of a wedding dress being much higher then before, I think the mass are buying couture wedding dresses.
