750 bucks for a dress. Most of the time, if you're going in to buy something brand new, you're not going to see a lot of options under $1,000. So this is where you might need to get a little creative. Buy a sample, buy off the rack, buy used, and then try to keep your overall dress cost at like $500 or less. You have $250 or so for alterations. A lot of people will purchase a dress at the top of their budget and not leave enough room for any adjustments to be made to the dress so it fits you. If you want to look and feel like a million bucks on your wedding day, it's not just about finding the right dress, but about making the work for you.
