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!

    Finding newer or smaller name designers can be a plus because they might be more willing to work with lower budgets. I am a fashion student and my recently graduated friend is making the dress I designed. It's harder to start off as a designer so I know that there are some who are willing to work with different budget to get that experience.

    Haley Paige bridesmaid dress. This was during my first fitting, so it's pinned and looks a little weird, but you get the idea. $332, including tax!

    I initially had a $1200 budget. I managed to find the perfect dress for $830. I would only need to have alterations on the chest/arm area to fit my shape.

    That was my budget and what I said I wanted to spend and ended up with a $1400 dress that I couldn't imagine anything to wear for that day. I wish you great luck in sticking to that budget because it was hard for me but sometimes the extra is worth it.

    This was $490 at Saks! It's not technically a wedding dress (it's "champagne", not "ivory") but I don't have a lot of other occasions to wear dramatic beaded gowns, so...

    There were a couple times I second-guessed it, partly because I didn't have family with me when I first found it (hence the changing room shot).

    But every time I look at at, I'm in love!
