I voted 1000-2000 range. I told myself i was not going to spend more than $750 for a dress I would only wear once. I was very naive, wasn't I! I found a dress I loved for $900, not to over budget. But wait, it was made of satin and very very heavy. The sales lady said she could have it made of taffeta, very light weight fabric. Wow that sounded perfect. Now how about making the train a little shorter. Now my $900 is $1300 OTD. Almost twice what I had budgeted! Aren't I a bargain shopper. Oh well, I love the dress. Now if it will just come in.
