How much was your dream dress?

I'm not sure what my Maggie Sottero dress is, I got it from a shop selling samples and it didn't have the name in. All I know is it is last season.
I got it for £484.

It's this one:

I tried on dresses for the first time yesterday and fell in love with Ellis 11197... only problem is it's £925 plus I would be looking at around £200 for alterations!! Waaaay more than what I had originally thought I would want to spend! Have seen a few on Preloved for around half the price, but my Nan wants to buy it for me and I don't think she would settle for me wearing a dress someone else has already worn!! We shall see, but I love the dress so much

I got my dress from a sample sale- and its probably exactly the type of dress I imagined I would get (maybe slightly plainer than I orignally thought, but more detailed dresses just were right on me), and it was reduced from £900 to £200, and I love it.

I'm making mine! it's still in progress... (see smoonbeam.blogspot.com if anyone wants to check out the progress)
I've spent about £450 on everything for mine and the bridesmaid's dresses and at the moment that seems to have done the job.
