Since we're on the topic, am I not being realistic with going in there with a $3500 budget including alterations when I really want a huge princess ball gown? I'm feeling pretty discouraged with looking online bc all the dresses that catch my eye seem to be over my budget. I haven't actually tried on any yet, but it's kind of frustrating when browsing.....
I can handle it, tell me straight out please any input appreciated![]()
you can find something great with that budget. But will also depend on which designers you're interested in so keep that in mind before going and do research on average cost of designers. For example Kenneth pool starts at $4k and to be honest i didnt even really see many in the 4k range, most were $5600 and up. The two dresses i decided between were both kenneth pool and one was 10k but i didnt get that one, thats the one everyone convinced me not to buy, it just didnt flatter me, once it was bustled the front got a bit bustled too, hard to explain and with my short torso and being 5'2 didnt work out well lol. But theres still other great designers you can find in the $3500 range, but also keep in mind that alterations which include bustled at kleinfelds are $575, and don't forget about tax
Thanks for responding, This is mainly why I'm getting discouraged bc I keep clicking on dresses by Amalia Carrera that are def over 3000 and of course POB and even Kenneth Pool but I realize that I will def have to cut those ideas out of my mind which is fine bc I'm not so much into the designer name I just happen to love the ballgowns designed by those. Hopefully I can find something similar without such a high price, depending on a less expensive designer.
