About £900 in 2009 from a local wedding dress shop, national designer though.

Tiredtomybones · 22/07/2018 14:52

Can't remember how many euros it cost but it came from a boutique in my home town.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 22/07/2018 14:53

Oh and my mum paid for it.

aperolspritzplease · 22/07/2018 14:53

£500 in the sale 12 years ago.

Bluelady · 22/07/2018 14:53

£400 in Bond Street in 2000.

BeanieWeanie · 22/07/2018 14:53

£80 from Chi Chi London. Looked great.

VeryHangryCaterpillar · 22/07/2018 14:54

£1200, from the White collection by Vera Wang, bought at David’s Bridal in London.

MrsM2017 · 22/07/2018 14:54

Mine was £1200 (purchased in late 2016 - married in 2017) and bought it from a local wedding dress boutique

19lottie82 · 22/07/2018 14:54

About £300, 4 years ago. It was a Phase 8 wedding dress, on sale, in House of Fraser.

Kenworthington · 22/07/2018 14:54

£150 from a little bridal shop , 19 years ago

PickleSarnie · 22/07/2018 14:55

£170. Although I paid another 90 I think for underskirts.

Spam88 · 22/07/2018 14:55

£1200, Sottero & Midgley from a local boutique.

Neverender · 22/07/2018 14:55

£575 from a shop called Aisle Altar Hymn

HeyMacWey · 22/07/2018 14:55

£350 - it was the sample one in the wedding shop.
I really loved another one but couldn't bring myself to spend nearly £1k on something I'd only wear once. I don't regret my choice.
We were on a really tight budget too. Only 10 years ago.

CraftyGin · 22/07/2018 14:56

£70 meringue dress from Pronuptia and Young in 1986

HeyMacWey · 22/07/2018 14:56

It was a sottero one.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 22/07/2018 14:56

Just under 1000 in 2013

FatToni · 22/07/2018 14:57

£750 in 2014.

I got it off the rack, 6 weeks before the wedding and paid £50 for the shops seamstress to have it adjusted (shortened and taken in a tad). The same dress was available to order for £2500.

I don't know why so many people fall into the trap of thinking you have to order a dress 12 months in advance and pay a fortune...wedding dress shops always have tons available which can be customised for a fraction of the price.

MyKingdomForBrie · 22/07/2018 14:57

£1400 from a local wedding dress shop, though it was an Australian range. Only going to do it once so wanted to love the dress!
