My dress cost me $650 with tax and everything, but I caught the boutique during an off-the-rack sale...and my dress just happened to be my perfect size...yay! I actually found my veil at Hobby Lobby (I'm living in the craft stores for this wedding!) for $20. I haven't gotten my tiara yet, but that's next. I also found a slim-line maidenform strapless bra for about $40 online. I'm willing to bet everything will end up being about $800-$900 all told...so we'll see. i'm lucky to have some very wonderful and generous grandparents who are paying for everything!! They're really wonderful and I was the first granddaughter, soo... That's the low-down on my dress. Makes me wanna go try it on again!:-)
