Ok, get this - Mom thinks a wedding dress should be no more than $100. She said that she spent that - in 1959!
While I know that David's Bridal has $99 dresses, I am a larger woman and know that they might not fit me. The few dresses I have seen online from them (that are in the store) will go up to my size (and much higher. I was planning on spending no more than $500 (including alterations and undergarments).
