  So I looked up the dress, and while I won't say it's going to be impossible to find it in your price range, I think it's safe to say that it's improbable. Have you considered looking for similar styles by different designers? Allure, Maggie Sottero, and Mori Lee all make similar dresses that are much more likely to fall in your price range, possibly even without going preowned. Try these (I apologize in advance for lack of line breaks, I'm posting from my iPad and I can never get them to show up): http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/dresses/view/82197/Sottero-Midgley-Meredith-83703-Size-10.html http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/dresses/view/79511/Allure-8634-Size-6.html http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/dresses/view/83211/Allure-8873-Size-8.html Good luck - I found a dress similar to the one I fell in love with by scouring the used wedding dress sites, and I got it for 60% off retail! It was worth the two months I spent looking

  I have actually found two online for under $2000 (one was $1900 and the other $1500) but they were both too small. The bridal shop offered me the sample one off the rack for 2K, but it's a size ten, so alterations would be very pricey.
  I appreciate the suggestions. I am still looking for alternatives, and the allure ones are a lovely backup plan, but so far nothing has caught my fancy quite like this one, so I figured it can't hurt to try.

  **UPDATE**
  
  The bridal shop called and offered free alterations and a free veil, so I'm officially a Alvina Valenta bride!  YAY!
