$350 for the dress and belt (plus about $20 for shipping) I got mine second hand on preownedweddingdresses.com, but I saved a lot and its exactly the dress that I wanted.
So my budget was $1000. I was set on finding one at David's Bridal for $300 (they were having a HUGE sale). my mom and grandma take me ONE time to a nice bridal store and the second dress i put on we knew was the one. ...... $2700 with my veil o.O
I found the perfect dress and with taxes and alterations it came to $1700. So I came in under budget.
I bought a post reception party dress, rehearsal dinner dress, hair piece, and shoes for $250 so I ended up spending it all the same but more bang for my buck.

It literally just came back from being altered! And had bridals today! But you really can't tell in the pictures but from the waist up it's see through and covered in pearls. And the straps are also ropes of pearls it is just the most perfect mermaid dress❤️
Fun fact, after searching online I found a beautiful Maggie Sottero dress that was on sale in another state. It was discontinued in 2018 and had one button that was dangling (but easily fixed) originally $2,400 but I got it for $374 after tax! I am going to use it to dance in after my ceremony ☺️
