Product Description
A radiant wedding gown is hand stitched with love, in anticipation of Hannah's fiancee's return from war. He is killed and the gown is packed away. Hannah hopes that someday the dress will be worn by someone with a love as deep as her own. Years later, she sends the dress to her nephew Travis (Neil Patrick Harris, TV’s "Doogie Howser"). He is engaged to a beautiful but shallow girl and doesn't realize that his assistant, Zoey (TV’s "Judging Amy"), is his true love. Travis' car is stolen with the wedding dress in it. This starts a chain of events taking the dress from the car thief, to a cab driver, to a struggling couple, to a second-hand shop, and to a dry cleaners where the dress is mistakenly sent to Madeline, a lonely woman, who finds love. The gown, then intended for a costume company, mistakenly gets sent to Joan, another woman who also finds love. Magically, the dress changes the lives of six brides, but the one couple that can truly fulfill Hannah's wish! for her gown is still apart. Will the chain of events come full circle and reaffirm what a small world it can be when it comes to love? Drama. 90 Minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Movie Review of this Movie, June 6, 2005

By	E. L. Schroeder "movie extrodinaire" (St. Louis, Mo. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie is about a dress that gets misplaced because some guy decides to steal a car to impress a girl that he has fallen for. Once he finds out that stealing a car is not going to win her hearts desires he gets rid of everything including the dress. The next place the dress goes to is a woman who needs wedding dresses to do an auction. By that time the dress has been torn to shreds and so this woman decides to fix the dress the way she wants it to be fixed and redoes the whole pattern. Last but not least it ends up at a house where the mother of this girl who is in love with Neal Patrick Harris's character and she ends up taking back the dress to him all back to it's orginal glory. While you watch this movie you find out that the way the dress started out with bad luck because her fiancee dies it ends up being very very good luck for the three people who where encountered with the dress. When I first saw the movie and the dress I instantly fell in love with both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Answered Prayers..., January 9, 2004

By	Seussie Q. "darkfantasygirl" (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews

OK, admittedly, it's probably pretty lame to sit around wishing and hoping that certain movies make it to DVD, but I've been doing just that since seeing this movie for the first time almost 3 years ago on CBS and then again last year on Lifetime!

This movie was such a pleasant surprise! I'm not a hardcore fan of romances (preferring romantic comedies--and even then, very seldom), but I am a Neil Patrick Harris fan so this movie caught my eye. I was practically on the edge of my seat with the "will he? won't he?" moments. I laughed. I cried. It was great!

This movie has something for just about everyone, but I think it's a real delight for the hopeless (or hopeful?) romantics out there! It's a well told collection of interwoven love stories. Nothing heavy or anything, just a really sweet treat.

4.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL TRAIL OF A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING DRESS!, March 7, 2005

By	M. Hartmann "abayyan" (Milan, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The opening to the movie of a beautiful bride expecting her love to return home from WW2 only to lose him is enough to move one to tears.

Was Travis the descendent of Mary? the sister.
Poor Travis, he sure picked a lemon. But I did enjoy her exposure of selfishness. Only now he has lost Zoey.

Then his car is stolen with the "Dress" in it. Only to make an impression on the thief's girl-friend and him.
How does the Doctor's fiancee find the "Dress"? Which leads to the couples sacrifices for each other. Ow! and the coffee spill. I was glad that the crook that the "Dress" got sold to did not enjoy any benefits from the "Dress's" blessing.

Then the "Dress" gets mixed up in the donations to the hospital charity through the original theif - and Madeline finds out that her husband is a crock. The turkey comes back and messes up relationship with her hunk. She is a landscape artist who finds love with this very attractive hunk.

By the time Joan [Tyne Daly] gets the dress [it was intended for a costume company] and paints it, it has been remodeled. Yet she finds love with a fueding next door neighbor. Wonderfully touching!
Then Joan's daughter shows up - Yup! it is Zoey [where has she been?] As luck would have it, she remembers the original dress and restores it to its former beauty. And returns it to Travis -- What a lovely round about way the "Dress" has influenced the other couples.

Definitely a girly-movie with many instances of happily ever-after that we all wish for.

Definitely Recommended -- great character actors and sub-plots - very satisfying!
