I wore my mother's wedding dress which was empire line - lace bodice and silk skirt. She made it herself in the late 60s with silk and lace gifted by her brother. For my wedding, she altered the sleeves slightly.

Mine was £800 in 1989 from a wedding dress shop .

starsorwater · 22/07/2018 15:49

1982 £12 made it myself.

About £75. I made it and was very pleased with it, even more so because a friend in recovery from cancer decided sewing little beads on the the floral lace part would be ideal therapy as she recovered - looked super rather than just plain, and it was so nice she made it to the wedding and 20 years on still in remission.

I paid £150 in a sale in a local shop in Oxford 10 years ago - then another £150 or so on alterations

Essexgirlupnorth · 22/07/2018 15:51

£300 was a sample should have cost £1200 was by Charlotte Balbier.
Did have a few dress wobbles but did love wearing it

t3xa · 22/07/2018 15:51

£110 from asos

Lonelynessie · 22/07/2018 15:51

About £700 I think. Bought at a sample sale in a central London boutique.

boomerang1 · 22/07/2018 15:51

Mine was £600 in the sample sale. Originally £2000. Bought it yesterday!!! From a local bridal boutique

whensitmyturn · 22/07/2018 15:52

£240 from bhs plus £50 for alterations

slovenlys · 22/07/2018 15:53

Just under £7000. From Berta

lilyheather1 · 22/07/2018 15:54

This is it

to ask how much your wedding dress was?
Stopyourhavering64 · 22/07/2018 15:55

About £200 in 1987....my mum made it from raw silk and lace, embroidered with pearls and it was absolutely gorgeous and definitely one of a kind

speakout · 22/07/2018 15:55

£30 in Top shop.

OH told me I looked awful.

He died 5 years later.

SerenDippitty · 22/07/2018 15:57

£300 in 1990

BoomBoomsCousin · 22/07/2018 15:57

£99 in 1996 from Monsoon. But it was a regular dress rather than part of their bridal stuff.

TigerDroveAgain · 22/07/2018 15:57

£1,500 from local wedding designer in 1998. I did have a wedding (abroad) followed two months later with a complete rerun locally so maybe you could say £750 as I got to wear it twice.

Eminybob · 22/07/2018 15:58

£160 in 2016 from a website called Alie Street. It was a low key dress for a low key wedding. I was really pleased with it - crucially it was stretchy so therefore comfy!

ClarkWGriswold · 22/07/2018 15:58

Mine was priced at £1400 from Sottero and Midgely but I bought it on the designer weekend event to got 10 percent off. I also had some issues with how long it took for the bridal shop to get my dress delivered (I still hadn't tried it on a month before the wedding) so a solicitor I worked with wrote them a letter and I got another 25 percent off. So I ended up paying £900.

blearyeyedbear · 22/07/2018 15:59

£800. It wasn't a wedding dress as such, as I didn't want a traditional dress. I didn't really know what I wanted, so OH dragged me into a shop on Bond Street, randomly pulled a dress off the rail, and strangely I loved it. Grey/silver, straight off the Paris catwalk. Very cheap for what it was. Sadly the marriage was much less successful than the dress.

haverhill · 22/07/2018 16:02

About £400 although it was on sale. It was a nice dress but probably not worth the full price.

EnglishRose13 · 22/07/2018 16:03

£30-£40 (I can't remember exactly). From Dorothy Perkins.

Threeminis · 22/07/2018 16:03

Mine was 199.
Probably paid about the same for alterations as I added a halter neck strap and lost 5 stone after I bought it, I was lucky they were able to alter it enough (so they told me)
