How much was your dress?

RainbowDrops

For the girls who got Monsoon dresses in the Sale / outlets - were they current season?
I've got my eye on "Isabelle" but am waiting for it to hit the sales...

Mine was not current season, in fact I have no idea what season it was from! I am very chuffed though as i just found it on ebay for buy it now £245 and I paid £30 for it!

mine was £1468 with discount but alterations will be about £100-£150

I'd have been happy with 2nd hand but it was new season and no one was selling and i wasn't risking a last minute job.

I was looking at getting a similar dress made cheaper using milly but had a sudden windfall which h2b insisted i use on the dress. (usually a tightwad so i didn't wit around for him to change his mind. lol)

I agree that you can prob find it second hand. if you pay cash, many outlets offer a discount so find teh cheapest one you can and then offer cash for extra money off. Or even make an offer. these are hard times and if you had money available, they might be wiling to move with you. samples can be cheaper. alternatively, keep your eyes peeled on ebay/preloved/sellmywedingdress etc.

good luck.

£250 brand new from a bridal shop closing down.

It's a Justin Alexander and is currently selling for £1800 in a bridal shop near me

Oh I forgot to say that my alterations are actually being done by dress maker who does external work for the said bridal shop (It's not what you know it's who :rotfl: ) and will cost approx £150

I had the same issue, totally fell in love with a £1500 dress :-(

But, I found two reputable bridal shops in the USA who are authorised sellers, and bought mine for £777 when the exchange rate was low...

I think they sell yours too, for £784.30. Mine arrived in February (very nervous about buying on the net), but it was perfect! The two places I looked were Jays Bridal https://www.jaysbridal.net (you have to register, but its free) and Princess Bridal Gowns, I don't think Princess stocks that dress (who I ordered from in the end), but Jays Bridal do. The only thing to be wary of is that I had to pay tax when it came into the country, but I don;t know how much it was as my poor mum was having it delivered to her house and she ended up paying it!

Good luck in your search!

Mine is a Maggie, but not this season -(Who will know though?!!) The style is Jayden and I got it for £250 at a wedding fair as it was a sample. alterations prob be £100 but not finished so not sure exactly. Good luck finding your dress at the right price - the lovely wedding fairies on here are fantastic at finding anything so youve come to the best place!
