That is pretty funny. Speaking about cheap dresses, my wedding dress was found at a small bridal shop on Long Island. It was the second one I tried. Very simple empire waisted, with a macrame on the upper part of the bodice, so above the stitching line of the waist. The price was $400. I did go to another store to try on more, because well, I thought you had to. In any case I went back to the original store and chose the $400 dress. Bonus and reason I needed to get it that week was that is was tax free week on clothing in NY.
My mom wanted to buy both my wedding dress and my sister's as a special gift from her. My sister got married in 1998 and I got married in 2005, so prices had gone up by the time I got married. My sister's dress had been $350 and I found one I liked for $300. I knew my mom would have spent more if I had wanted a more expensive dress but I was happy I found one that was easy on her budget! I think she would have like my dress to have a train, but the whole train thing was not for me.
