Show me your budget dresses!

I do not want to spend more than $500 on my wedding dress (definitely buying off the rack) and I wanted to see pictures of all of your beautiful bargain dresses so I don't feel so stressed about not being able to find a winner at a good price!

    My budget was $450 with alterations. I'm now own 2 dresses. Sorry for the bad pics I definitely don't have the correct undergarments on..Lol

    Anyway...

    Left- $102: Amazon.com, I love it! At 1st a little nervous due to sizing but everything worked out perfectly. And I'm 98% sure I'm going to wear this one.

    Right-$165: from a 2nd bridal shop. It's ways to big and needs alterations but I really like it.

    My budget was also $500. I went to DB and found one I liked but wanted to check out a local Bridal boutique by my mom's house before I said yes. At the boutique, I found this dress. It is a Maggie Sottero and was consignment. I looked up how much it sales for new- around $1200. It was selling for $600 but my consultant was able to talk the owner down to $525. It fits perfectly so I don't have to budget in any alterations.

    $450 at David's Bridal. I added a belt, and alterations were quite a bit, but the dress itself was not expensive. I think it was on sale from $499.

    @deena I totally tried that dress on! If I remember it was $1350 (or maybe even more) at my boutique which with tax would have been close to $1500. Great buy! !

    I don't have a picture of it on yet, but I snagged this one for $100 on Amazon and I only need to have a few inches taken off the bottom.
