Keep hunting wanchai, there are so many brides here who have found their dream dress on a budget.
Mine was a v frightening £3,200 new :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I paid £950 for it via Preloved. It was unworn, the bride had changed her mind and bought another dress! :eek::eek::T:T
Preloved and ebay are fab for this. If you've found a design you like then keep checking these sites, something is bound to come upOh God, I'm even more depressed now lol!0 -
Mine was under £80 on Ebay, being sold by the liquidators as the shop where I'd tried it on had gone into liquidation...they wanted £1100 for that dress.0

Really did not want to spend a lot on the wedding dress considering how long you wear it and how much they cost!! Tried on my Maggie Sottero at a bridal store who were selling it at £795 (with additional alteration charges). Than saw it on preloved as new for £730 and offered £500 and eventually upped to £600 (100 over my budget). Lady wanted £25.00 more (which I had already said I could not afford) and whilst she was playing a waiting game an auction came up on ebay for same dress for £250!
I brought it and was so chuffed as it was from a lovely seller who sent it out the same day by next day delivery and she even took the time to right a lovely card wishing me well on my big day! made the whole experience perfect and it was a perfect size and length, no alterations needed!0 -
Mine should have been £995, but because it was 'last season' (who cares?! I didn't!) I paid £179.99 for it from a shop on eBay who sell old season and sample dresses.
It fitted me like a glove and I was over the moon with it!
I sold it back on Ebay after I'd washed it and it went for £183!Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty...0 -
Catherine's dress is a sample reduced from over £1000 to under £500 - great bargain and looks fabulous!0

I fell in love with a Maggie Sottero dress. It was £700. Cheaper than I thought! Unfortunately I also fell in love with a custom made veil that was £200 and a tiara that was £185 so where I thoiught I saved I ended up WAY over on in other areas!!
Luckily mum paid! xx:heart2: Got Married on 30/4/11 :heart2:
