    My "dress" is actually a bridal separate. Gown part was handmade from a seller on etsy, 163 shipped to me (she took my measurements before sending it) and my top is actually a lace body suit that I got online 18 bucks shipped. I will however have to get a thin tank to go underneath the body suit which could be another $20. So a little over $200 altogether

    $0 I got them for free. It was thrown in as part of the purchase. Best decision ever bc alterations can get expensive.

    My dress was $1500 and the alterations were $260, including re-beading the straps onto a different material, adding boning, hemming the bottom (including lace), bustling, and taking in sides.

    My dress, including alterations, a veil and my shoes (dyed to a burgundy color) should come in around $2,000.

    My dress was $1700. Didn't do alternations yet waiting until June to do that. It already has to be taken in at the waist. Curvy girl here that measures 2 sizes bigger in my hips than I do at my waist. I plan on loosing some weight before I go for my first fitting so I don't have to go back a ton of times.

    The base price of my dress was $1400. I ordered in a custom length for an extra $150 because there is a ton of lace lining the bottom and I'm only 5'0". It would have added way more in my alterations cost if I hadn't done that. Then I purchased beaded cap sleeves to my dress for $249. The total alterations cost came out to $600 - this included sewing in more crinoline to poof out the skirt, adding a french bustle, sewing on the sleeves, taking in the dress at the bus and hip, sewing in my bra, and decreasing the length of the boning for my short torso. $2600 total.
