"Dave and Johnny" gowns have been around for about 30 years. They are best known for special occasion gowns that are directly inspired by glamorous couture designer gowns. But by using materials that are much more affordable, they can fit almost any budget or look and still look high fashion. And by stepping it up and only allowing specialty boutiques to qualify to carry the gowns you always feel like your getting a one of a kind gown. (This is according to a 90's ad that I found about the company)
