Where to buy/make a wedding dress in Bogota?

Hola!

I would ike tohave my dress made (if we have enough time) or bought in Colombia, Bogota. We are in Texas now and most of the dresses are flimsy light. I do not want to buy any of them them and as wearing those would result in my wearing a sweater on top when I am a cooler Bogota. Could you recommend boutiques for wedding dresses where they can alter the dress in 2-3 days without wracking my nerves?
Also, the groom does not want to own a tuxedo--he is one of those practical people who does not want anything that is only a one-time thing. Thus, where can we rent a tuxedo for a 5'9 chubby guy?

Thank you!

My wife found a dress in Salitre plaza near the Panamericana. Looking at the store, it was to the left in the corner. and I rented a tux near a shop near Calle 85 and Cr 15. It was right on the corner on the second floor. The guy worked well to get the right size. Good price too. as far as alterations for a dress, shop workers may have suggestions.

Hope this helps you out. The phone books have some numbers/address' that you can try looking into.

Hope this helps and good luck.

God Bless America!

Near Salitre In Modelia, very near Salitre, a store called " Rojo Scarlata " deals with wedding dresses and tuxedos. Reasonable prices and excellent quality of work. Tel: 481 4249 or e:mail rojoscarlata at yahoo.com.ar

You can rent tuxedos, but buying one custom made in Bogota will cost you what a rental would cost in the US.

if you are willing to spend good money on your wedding dress, i'd suggest you go to olga piedrahita's store, she's an excellent designer who makes wonderful clothes, not only wedding dresses but all sort of...

I can ask my gf She is going to hook me up with her friend who is supposed to make me some tailor-made suits and shirts. Once I get the number I will PM it to you.
