I didn't want to spend any more than $1000 including accessories, alterations and shoes. I bought my dress for $690 after taxes and it needs only very small alterations (that my aunt said she'd do!!) so I have $310 to spend on everything else. I didn't even look at anything that was over $1000.

I think my original budget for the dress was $800, but I was scared of actually spending that much.
I bought my dress for about $280, and alterations were $100. Way under budget, thank goodness!!

| So far, my dress has cost $380 after taxes and alterations. I may try to get the bust line cut a bit lower to get a sexier look, but I can't see that costing more than $100 in alterations...so under $500. Mind you, it IS a BM dress, but it's white, and it looks like a wedding dress-at least I think so! I never really went into the whole dress buying experience with any kind of budget. I knew I wanted something plain and simple, and the types of dresses that cost $1000+ wouldn't appeal to me at all, though the saleswomen tried so hard to convince me otherwise!

I didn't have a budget per se but I really didn't want to spend more than 700. Mine ended up costing 754 with taxes. I don't think it will need alterations or very little anyway because I ordered it. Still need a veil and a tiara.
