I saved thousands of dollars with my DIY wedding dress – it’s a feeling you can’t buy

Monica Razak’s wedding dress is a gown made of honor.

Before getting engaged last October, the local gal had only sewn little things, like hair scrunchies and sun dresses.

But after falling in love with an over $10,000 frock at Kleinfeld, NYC’s most ballyhooed bridal boutique, she got creative in order to save some dough.

“I made my own wedding dress,” Razak, 29, from Hoboken, told The Post. “It only cost me around $700.”

The millennial and her hubby, whose name she chose not to disclose for privacy purposes, tied the knot before 30 guests at a northern New Jersey venue in May. The sweethearts just enjoyed a 12-day honeymoon escape to Italy with the thousands they saved on her dress.

“I had no idea wedding dresses were so expensive,” said Razak, a small business owner , noting the hefty price of big day regalia and the nearly-inescapable expense of alterations.

“But the confidence I had at my wedding, knowing I’d made the dress myself — you can’t buy that.”
