Hello Ladies,
Tomorrow I will head out to the bridal shops to find my perfect dress. However my budget is only $800.00 and I am really interested in a Maggie Sottero, but will definitely be looking at other designers. I would like to know before if Maggie’s dresses are within my budget.
Thanks in advance,
Re: Maggie Sottero ladies I need your help
it says that her dresses are in the $500-1200 range, so yea they're in your budget. might be a little more at a salon though.
A lot of it probably depends on what season the dress is from, and what fabric it's made from and how intricate the details are. I was interested in an all-lace style that was around $1300 or so. Simpler MS dresses will likely be cheaper.
MS sets a bottom price that salons and wholesalers cannot undercut. So your best bet is probably to go to the salons, tell the saleswomen your budget and insist on not trying on dresses above that price, and then see what you like. Contact wholesalers like pearlsplace.com, netbride.com, chrissyobridal.com and rkbridal.com to see what kind of price they can offer you.
Are you open to buying a used dress? If there's a floor model that fits you, ask if you can purchase that for a discount. Also check eBay, Craigslist, the Trash to Treasure board, and websites like oncewed.com, preownedweddingdresses.com and savethedress.com to see if anyone is selling the one you want.

Dress prices don't usually just go down just because a dress is older. My dress was introduced a few years before, and the price was actually going UP the day after I bought it.
OP - Some Maggies will be in your price range, some won't be. Make sure the consultants know your budget so that they don't pull dresses that are above it for you.
Planned Executed
In the search I realized that Maggies are very easy to find if you are willing to search, they are not all used. So my advice is to be flexible if you do find that dream Maggie dress, good luck!
Francesca is the dress i totally feel is the dress for me...
( funny thing i was just wondering the same thing... if her dresses would fall into my price range )
