I want to dress as the corpse bride for halloween, and I found the perfect dress...http://tinyurl.com/cj5l5
but..I dont have the money to buy it! can't sew well at all, so how can I make this dress, easy? Or can I buy it somehow similar yet cheaper? I what would be a good alternative that would look very very similar?

Why not start out by looking for a similar dress at a secondhand shop and doing some alterations and embellishments? You might even improve on the design or at least make it your own creation.
This sounds like great fun - Good luck

Go to your nearest resale store...or donation store, like Goodwill or St Vincent's, Salvation Army. They have loads of wedding dresses. Tell them you have limited money and you'd be surprised at what you could get it for! Then rip and tear and cut it like the picture and have a great time designing it with fabric paint (for the black) or regular acrylic paint that you can buy at the dollar store. It looks like so much fun! Good Luck!

oh just try sewing one. the whole pinned together look will be neat. if it doesn't work out try finding another white dress and distress it a bit

Um, why not ask one of your parent, or get a book of how to sew, or something. I know. Costumes are very, very expensive!

go to someplace like a goodwill or something.....they have alot of costumes this time of year and you might find the exact one you are looking for or one close to it. And you can't beat their prices if you don't mind wearing used!!!!
