you know i started this poll and havnt told you about my dress!!!!

its a ball gown from karen millen £250 reduced to £99 as a seam had split and the bolero was £95 down to £15 immaculate! i spent £60 on alterations as it was made for someone 5'8" or more lol and im no way that tall!

it is beautiful though i would have got it if it cost 1p or £1000!!!!

Mine is a lovely Amanda Wyatt dress which is costing me £699, my budget was £600 but had to have it!

I had mine made - being a very slim, very short person in those days, (still short, but after 4 kids not so slim!!!) I bought the material for about £80, and I had my dress and 3 bridesmaids dresses for £300...was 10 years ago though....

In 1993 I got married in a registry office and my outfit was about £24 from New Look. A very smart cream skirt and jacket top (reduced in sale.) The skirt was a size bigger due to being 6 months pregnant and the zip was left undone but the top was long enough to hide the 'undone' skirt!
This thread made me realise I was a Money Saver back then without even being aware of it. :rotfl:

i had to buy two as i changed my mind so total of £1200, then obviously i wore the original one - Hubby said he would of brought me ten if only to stop me moaning. In the end i let him see it to help me decide - nightmare i know!!

I had a budget of £1200 but have finally yesterday made my decision on a maggie sottero and its £880 so im really pleased it was alot cheaper than i expected.But now just reading your posts how come people are getting them cheaper from the US? How do you do that when its recommended not to buy off the internet?or is your bridal store ordering it from the US?

I got mine for :eek: £2500:eek: But my foster mum paid for it her and my foster dad saved as soon as they knew I was engaged.

I said I didnt want the dress just because of the price

But she bought me it anyway...Sadly she passed away before My wedding day but I'm sure she was there with me.

Roberta Buchan (think that's how you spell it)
four weeks before the wedding £197
I didn't even look at the dresses. I went to the size 16 rail and checked all the price tags until I found one under £200! They were a wee bit funny about me taking it away, cause I hadn't left any time for them to "fit" it....but it fitted, well maybe a wee bit long....but £197, who cares!

Sagaris

Mine will be £225 from Monsoon - my fashion student daughter sort of picked it for me - not the dress I was after but it looked much better than the one I liked!
