    Go to a seamstress and get measured then go on esty and have dress custom made. Hope this helps.

    Wedding dress budget 1
    I got my dress from Etsy. It is so beautiful in person. I wanted to look timeless, classy, and elegant. I sent my measurements and voila received my dress within 3 weeks. I’m getting married in Portugal in February and my bridesmaids all said this dress is perfect for that location. My budget was $2k but got it for under $500 with pearl cathedral veil. I also went a little bolder with after party dress and chose a raspberry color.

    Hi!! I had the same experience! I had no idea what a gown cost. LOL maybe you can find a wedding gown consignment store near you to either purchase a gown or to sell your gown afterwards. Good Luck ☺️

    Hi. Your budget isn’t unrealistic. I found my dress on David’s Bridal. I got it for $233 after taxes. It’s gorgeous. With a little patience I know you’ll find the perfect dress within your price point. Good luck! Wedding dress budget 10
