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?

£65 (2004)for fabric and then my granddad (not a tailor) made it for me.
Pattern cam from the fancy dress section of a pattern catalogue not that you'd know!! I looked very bridal.

3k bespoke dress and the bloody thing wouldn't stay fastened at the back all day

£29.99.

I've worn it twice since and still love it :)

Fabrics, boning and thread +/- £100
The work I did myself = priceless

$100 total for two high street brand dresses. We had a non-traditional ceremony :)

£450 for the dress, and another £180 for alterations last year

£160 in a sale in 2001 - I loved it

£200 in a wedding shop sale 10 years ago. It went to Oxfam afterwards.

1k plus £200 alterations plus £125 for veil. I think. Coming up to 5 years ago. I wanted the perfect dress and I'm so glad I didn't scrimp. It was absolutely beautiful.

First one ten years ago was £800/£900, with alterations.
One I'm wearing this time round was under£20 and it feels more ",me"
If you've got it spend it if you don't then don't. DM bought 1st one and essentially i had the wedding she dreamed of.

£80 from debenhams debut range. My underwear cost more

£1000 or thereabouts

£200 in a sale 17years ago. Rightly or wrongly I set fire to the bugger at my Mum's and ruined her lawn.

About 2.5k for dress plus alterations. With, veil, shoes, undercrackers etc about 3k all in. Loved it from the start then spend about 6 months going round the houses trying on what felt like every dress in England before returning to the original dress. Go with your gut, you will be forever comparing and nothing else will live up to it!

£3k don't regret it at all!

£50 about 11 years ago but it was a wedding shop that was closing down and it was an ex hire dress, i altered it myself by taking the horrible sleeves off it taking out some of the pouffe (netting under the skirt ) and shortening it as it was too long

£80 eBay. It was a replica of a 3K dress. It was perfect.

750 plus alterations. Was a 'worn once' designer dress with lots of silk, beadwork and french lace.

Roughly about £2,200. Included veil, alterations and underwear.

£150 15 years ago.

£100 including alterations. I wanted a dress with a 16th century style if I'd gone for my second choice it would have been around the £50 mark. Our whole wedding was on a student budget.

About 3k last year, I love it so much, I am the only UK bride to have it and loved the unique-ness. I just wish I could wear it everyday, not sure it would go down well in the office.

I tried on a 10k Berta which was gorgeous but too much £ unfortunately!!

I plan to lend my veil as my sis' "something borrowed"

£220 I think in the Phase eight sale.

£399 in 2013 from Monsoon. It fit me perfectly and I felt amazing in it. It was perfect for my beach wedding (with no guests).

£1300 2 years ago. It was a Sophia Tolli
