Bargain hunting for wedding dress

I am determined to find a wedding dress for $200. I can go up to $500 but don't really want to. The prices for these dresses are ridiculous. I honestly can't justify shelling out $1000 for one day. I'd rather spend the money on a tropical honeymoon.

I've been scouring craigslist, resale dress websites, and bridal sites. No luck.

Making the search even more difficult is the fact that I don't want to wear a strapless gown. That leaves me with straps or short sleeves and what appears to be the gamut of "old lady" dresses. I had no idea that this would be an issue. I don't want to wear strapless because I'd end up adjusting it all the time. Have you ever seen a woman in a strapless top or dress who doesn't adjust it?

Most gowns are too fluffy or too adorned or show too much clevage or are just too much.

Oy!

I don't know that this company will fulfill your $200 mark, but I bought from here - I was looking for simple, elegant, and not strapless. They do have some strapless, but also a lot of fun, classic styles. I wore the "Watteau". Good luck in your search!
