AIBU to ask how much your wedding dress cost?

[user1486504659]

Found my dream dress today...it's over my budget by £800 but I'm not sure if my budget was U to start with as I seemed underestimate how much they cost!
How much was your dress?

£70 in the sale from debenhams wedding collection, in the sale, think it was £200 originally.

It was priced £500 but I paid £450 as I took out (and then cancelled) a store card.

I loved it.

I am at some of the prices on this thread.

£300 plus alterations. Was a 'proper' wedding dress from bridal shop but vastly reduced in their sale. I loved the dress and would have chosen it anyway, the discount was an added bonus (and a very welcome one don't get me wrong!)

£250 from Oxfam

£60 custom design made to measure. It came from China (eBay) it was perfect

I sent him pictures of dresses I liked

£250 from a dressmaker I found online - I love it and got many compliments on the day!

£500 from eBay then alterations but can't remember what that cost.

£660 -no alterations needed

£800 plus alterations. Budget was about £1k including everything. Borrrowed veil, cheap tiara and shoes from BHS, wrap (was winter) from Debenhams.

£948. The lower end of the price range in the shop! I would like to see pictures of the 6k and 9k dresses!! I work for a tailoress who makes couture wedding dresses and some of fabrics used are amazing. One dress has over 3k of just lace in it!

£70

£1500 including alterations etc. That might also have included the veil but I can't remember...

£300 plus alterations (can't remember the cost). Lots of money on other parts of the outfit also. I just couldn't justify spending north of £1k on something I would never wear again.

33 bhs sale

The one I've seen is £1900 so maybe I need to shop around although it was absolutely amazing with a lot of detail

About $550AU including underskirt and alterations.

Will admit it was from a knock off site - sent picture of $2000 dress which I liked and tried on in a shop and it was made for me in China. Back before they were all the rage and churning out rubbish dresses.

Mine cost £30, with another £50 spent on underwear.

I'm unusual though, we did very cheap and cheerful, went to a pub afterwards, etc.

I DEFINITELY wouldn't be spending thousands on a wedding dress, no matter how perfect it is. I could buy a car for that sort of money, which i would get a ton more use out of.

Fabric was about £70, then MIL made it for me. I think it was the proudest moment of her life.
Shoes were £6 as ex-display.
This was in 1998.

£1800

40 euro and have worn it for years. DP loves it so much that he wants to see me as a bride in it. I cancelled the dress that I had selected myself

About £100 for materials and then gave £100 to friend who made it for me

£200 for fabric, I made it myself (12 years ago)

£375 - in the sale. First dress I tried on, fitted like a glove, no alterations needed.

£720, then all the alterations were done for free by the shop.

£2.5k
My budget was £2k but I fell in love
