How Much Does Your Gown Cost?
I would like to know, as an informal poll, about how much people are spending on their gown for their special day. Or, are you not spending anything by borrowing someone else`s gown?

I got an oleg cassini size 6 tall from Davids in Har Mar Mall.. The original ticket was 1500USD but because they were getting rid of that seasons gowns i got it for$99USD. Even if i hadn`t found the dress of my dreams on a sale rack i wasn`t going to put out over 1000$ in total for my whole look for one day (includes undergarments, dress, shoes, veil, nails, hair .. Etc.). In total my entire bill for alll the formentioned items will be $400 CND.

My gown was $7500 one year ago. I know it`s a lot to spend for a gown, but it was THE ONE and I had to have it.

I paid $1200 (canadian). However that does not include the alterations, shoes, veil, headpiece, or lingerie. So all together probalby about $1500.

Mine was $1200 on sale for $400. Check for last years dresses or fashion show pieces. I wanted to rent one but the city I`m in is too small and there are no shops that do this here. Really, after your wedding day what becomes of the dress?

Do Vera Wang gowns not have any beading or lace on them?

Missy,
Vera Wang designs gowns in all different styles. Some are more classic with cleaner lines and no frills, but yes, some do have bead work.
