Help me find a dress like this!

I need some help...I found the perfect dress but at the WRONG price! I'm having a little vegas wedding and I wanted something a little more sexy. This dress is gorgeous and perfect but I can't afford it. It is Tara Keely TK2501 Has anyone seem anything similar for a lot less? TIA!

Check ebay!  Also, some of the posters have some great reputable second-hand resellers online that might produce some luck for you. Or, even Craigslist but that can get sketchy sometimes. 

Next - have you physically tried the dress on to see how it looks on you?  Sometimes you can look at an image and be like "THIS IS IT!" but when you see it on, it gets the "What was I thinking!?". 

Also, I'd go into a few bridal shops with your budget and images of the dress to find something similar since most shops will know what they have for inventory..  Some bridal shops run "black Friday" specials - so that's something else to consider...

Thank you for your advice! I haven't tried this exact dress on but have tried similar silhouettes. I actually found this on a used site but it's still $1500 and I'm on a $300ish budget. 
I didn't think about black Friday for dresses, Ill have to give that a shot.

Have you considered looking in department stores for formal gowns rather then focusing solely on bridal gowns?

I found this one at Macy's (CLICK).  It is definitely different from the one you posted, but it has an open back and a deeper v in the front.  Maybe with some slight alterations it could be made even sexier.

Also you could look into bridesmaid dress options that come in white.

If you go to David's website, you see all the dresses that are under $300.

Check out the designer Lauren Elaine. She has some styles similar to this one. I purchased one of her gowns through preownedweddingdresses.com. I didn't end up using it in my wedding because I found another one I loved more, but I think her Isla or Gardenia would be kind of similar to the dress you like. She works with California Couture Curators on preownedweddingdresses, so you can find her gowns brand new with tags at really good prices.

EDITED to clarify: Whoops, seems her prices have gone up since I first bought my LE gown! But this one is kind of similar to the one you like for only $600:
