Does anyone know where I can purchase an affordable dress? Less than $1000

Does anyone know of a place that I can purchase an affordable wedding dress? Someone told me to try David's bridal but I wanted to know if anyone had advice about that. Do they cap alterations? I am interested in something a line in an ivory color. I was looking at a Da Vinci dress for $800 and saw it elsewhere for a lot less. Any advice. Thanks!

I LOVED Davids Bridal, absolutely LOVED it!!! I went to one right by my house in jersey, had ried on several dresses and when I saw this particular one at davids, that was it!!! I never regretted my choice, I fell in love with this dress, and what happened was it was in an old bridal magaize and when I brought the pic in, it was on CLEARANCE, it was DIRT CHEAP and it was BEAUTIFUL! Alterations werent bad, I think about 250, partly because I had the French Bustle, but I was VERY happy with their service and like I said, I LOVED my dress. I highly recommend davids, I couldnt imagine being any happier than I was with my dress and their service!

I tried my Maggie Sottero on in a bridal salon and ordered it for $640 ($400 cheaper than the bridal salon) from Pearls Place.

When you first walk into a bridal salon, tell them what you what to spend and they'll only show you dresses in your price range. Then you can shop around on a lot of good websites like bridesave.com and call other bridal salons to find the dress cheaper. I've heard of people having a lot of success with getting a dress they want cheaper at RK Bridal.

I have a good alteration lady too if you decide to do the online ordering.

Try Burtons in Melville. They are known for their flowers but they have a dress department upstairs. It is small but very personable. My dress was 800 and i really only had to pay for the bustle. My dress fit me pretty good. They also gave me my tiara and veil for free. Plus i think they give you a discount on BM dresses if you buy your gown there. I think they give 20% off the BM dresses.

You can also try Bridal Reflections in Massapequa. They carry more inexpensive dresses than the Carle Place one.

Try the Wedding Center in Commack, supposedly they'll beat any competitors price. My limit was $1,000 also and I ordered mine from Bridesave and it was over $200 cheaper than the Wedding Center and $400 cheaper than other bridal salons. I wound up spending $800 and change for a Maggie Sottero.

Try Flowerama Bridal in Glendale. They also have a store in Elmont but I've never been to it. THe one in Glendale on Myrtle ave has a lot of dresses to choose from in your price range. My entire dress- including alterations, head pieace and veil was under $1,000.

I went to lillette's, macys, rkbridal and bridal reflections in massapequa- all had dresses less than $1000. Macy's had a lot.

You can also go to Burton's in Melville they discount the dresses a lot and may be able to get you the dress you want at a cheaper price.
