    yes, the same tax laws apply to wedding gowns as to all clothing purchases in MA.   There is a luxury tax on items priced above $175.  The amount above $175 gets taxed at the usual state sales tax rate (6.25%).

    You'll be taxed 6.5% on the portion over $175. This is true for all clothing, not just wedding gowns.

    FYI...NH and a few other states don't have the luxury tax that MA does so you can always look there for a dress too...There are a few highly recommended wedding dress stores in southern NH not far from the MA border.
