£750 before alterations in the UK, but I bought it from RKBridal when visiting New York last year for the bargain price of less than £300! Add on £85 for import and probably £100 or so for alterations and it was still a great deal!!

The dress I picked of the internet was going to be £250 - I went to a dress shop just to try on a similar style to make sure it suited me.....and ended up falling in love with a dress that is costing me £895! Currently I own half a dress!

Mine was £50 from Ebay. I bought it when we originally planned the wedding but I had forgotten how beautiful it was. I can only wear it though if I don't loose too much more weight.

Mine has worked out at about £900- £350 for the dress makers time, the rest for material, and that is including the veil and petticoats and a wee bag, ut she is fab an dthe dress is stunning and exactly what I wanted and I almost bough one for £1500 that I kind of liked just because I couldnt find anything else, so am really glad I did this.
with alterations ( I know its a lot but it is gorgeous and the dress of my dreams )

Mine was £390 as it was a Debenhams dress and we got a discount on it (should have been £500). No alternations needed!
I could not justify paying any more than that for a dress and it was the style I loved.

Mine was £1600, it's an Ian Stuart dress so hence the hefty price tag but it's beautiful
That's without alterations

omg look at the prices on some of these dresses.... I am scared that i will fall in love with a very expensive dress xxx
That was my problem! The first shop i went into i tried some Ian Stuart dresses on without realising the cost and i fell in love with them. I tried other dresses on but couldn't get them out of my head. I knew i had to have one!

Hi
Mine was £595 for a Maggie dress, still got any alterations to pay for and a tiara and veil - but hopefully it won't be too bad!
The rest of my deposit is due at Christmas - kind of bad planning - looks like chocolate oranges for everyones christmas presents, thats all I'll be able to afford - lol!
