S/O Say yes to the dress...how much did yours cost?

JasonsMauiMama · June 2009

And where did you buy it?

I paid $250 on eBay for a "worn just for pictures" Maggie Sottero. (It had a corset back and already had cups sewn in, so I looked chesty AND thin!)

heidismith · June 2009

UrbanHippieMama · June 2009

kmh2201 · June 2009

$450, but it was closer to $600 after alterations. I bought it at a small wedding dress shop in town.

Mrs_mam · June 2009

$1000- but my mom bought it so technically I paid nothing

It was from a local shop in my mom's town.

mrswoodman · June 2009

one_more_girl · June 2009

niki81 · June 2009

I bought mine at half price - $1500 at a boutique in North Jersey.

[Deleted User] · June 2009

700$ at a little boutique called Urban Bride

I still can't believe I even spent that much but I absolutely love the dress.

sharee · June 2009

svbattista:
$1000 David Bridal

ditto

NC112 · June 2009

$600 plus under $100 in alterations

mooninlv · June 2009

$600 + alterations. i don't care how much $$ you have, spending thousands on a wedding dress just seems silly to me. i loved my dress, but i'm glad i didn't (well, my parents) spend any more- it's still sitting upstairs in a guestroom closet, uncleaned and untouched - 2 years later!

volleydiva · June 2009

I paid $500 at David's Bridal, but didn't have to have any alterations done! Yeah!

EIR · June 2009

mine cost $3200, I would have never spent that much but my mom paid. It was an Alvina Valenta and I got it at a local bridal shop.

freemand_23 · June 2009

$1500 alterations included ;-)

Bluemar · June 2009

David's Bridal for $500

NewMrs07 · June 2009

$750, new and from a high-end boutique store. It fit me the best and I loved it more than the other $1000+ dresses I had tried on. I lucked out!

mlh21 · June 2009

$50 on Ebay. Never worn, not a designer dress, but it was just what I wanted - simple and classic. My mom added the beading around the waist.

The New Mrs. · June 2009

$1900 on sale - Yikes! But it was BEAUTIFUL and the only dress that I fell in love with. My dad was buying it and he thought it was a ridiculous price and told my mom "can't she just find another one?" and then he surprised me and showed up one day when I went to try it on and said "you look like an absolute princess - you have to have THIS dress. We're buying it right now!" Aw! Sweet Daddy!

It was a Piccione - had a very vintage feel.

melly918 · June 2009

$165 off eBay new with tags Michaelangelo for David's Bridal (which retailed for $500 back in 2004).

emaria · June 2009

it was $300 and on sale from david's bridal. mom and i were going to purchase the vera wang i wanted the following week and decided to head to david's bridal in the mean time to see what styles were out there. i bought my dress then and therel and i'm so happy i did. i jumped into the pool at my reception and didn't think twice about it but in a designer dress i'd feel more hesitant (or should i say my mother would have felt more heistant lol).

i also did a trash the dress shoot and the thing got so dirty and torn up i ended up throwing it away. i should work on that whole sentimentality aspect...

EDIT (here's a pic of it):

lsvilpa · June 2009

$850

Mrs.Turner21 · June 2009

A little bridal shop I use to buy my prom dresses in high school; $1500.

jolis_petits_bijoux · June 2009

$1,250. DH biitched, but I think after talking to some of his engaged/married friends he learned it wasn't that much. I know I could have spent less if I'd gone to David's, etc., but at the same time, I could have spent a lot more. My dress was a Maggie Sottero (Mirabella) - I loved it. My dream dress was an Alvina Valenta, but there is no way I could spend $5,000 on a dress... even if I could feasibly afford it!

ETA:

Pictures... I'm still in love with my dress:

Blackvelvet · June 2009

$199 someone custom ordered it in champain pink and silver then didn't like it the shop want to sell it bad becasue of the color but it was great next to my skin (white looked horrible). I was even able to resell it for $150.

mfransdell · June 2009

300$ on sale (half off) and it fit like a dream, I didnt need one alteration. Not even a hem!

janice74 · June 2009

$1500 on ebay for a once worn Monique L'huillier that originally cost $6000. I fell in love with it the second I saw it and never thought I could afford it new, so I thought I got quite a deal!

I am a seamstress, so I did all the alterations myself.?

saj&jaj · June 2009

$1500ish. I was lucky and did not have to purchase my dress as my mom was working part time at the bridal shop so she got a discount and the alterations/added beadwork at no cost. It was a Paloma Blanca.

thatgirlang · June 2009

$800 at a local bridal shop

amesv119 · June 2009

$850 brand new from a little bridal shop.

Mrs.Carlybella · June 2009

I actually bought my dress and did the alterations at Kleinfelds (the place from the show). It was @ 2k- way too much in hindsight, but i LOVED it and it was in the low price area of that store which is crazy

jasminej613 · June 2009

Mine was $1200, with $200 off, so $1000- an Oleg Cassini from David's Bridal.

Tiffton05 · June 2009

$1,200.00 at David's Bridal

rebus82 · June 2009

I had two (so I could decide last minute). One was a $230 bridesmaid dress, the other a $230 off the rack formal dress. I never wanted a big, poofy white thing. Considering I actually got married (courthouse) in jeans, a sweater and Converse sneakers, a frou-frou dress for our family/friends ceremony seemed stupid.?
