So we have the "dream dress" thread out there, what about a "realistic dress" thread? I know mine are different (stupid $4000 Lazaro dress ), are yours? Hmmm? What are you drawn to that you can actually afford? LOL...

Here's mine! It's Mia Solano M8960, and it's less than $1K! Woohoo!

I'm in love with Gypsy's wedding dress right now, so I pick hers.  It's a Mon Cheri Liz but a few specific alterations.  It seems to be in the budget (slightly above considering alterations), and it would actually flatter my body type I think as opposed to my dream dresses that come with a dream body... mermaid gowns were not made for this rear end of mine.    If she announced that she was selling it, and I was engaged, I would snatch it up in a second!

Fun! I honestly haven't really browsed that many wedding gowns, but I worked in a bridal store for six years and loved trying on the samples, etc. It was such a fun job - Maggie Sottero is a great brand with a very good fit. Browsing their site this one caught my eye - and I normally wouldn't go for strapless, but the bead work is really pretty!

Can't seem to upload the pic, here's a link, http://tinyurl.com/3kcrqh

There's an alencon lace Jim Hjelm dress that I adore, and what lace lover doesn't love Monique Lhuillier? But realistically - I really do like this Watters 1048b dress quite a bit, and I'm sure it could be modified into a v-neck, rather than a halter. I've seen it online for under $900.

This Jim Hjelm bridesmaid dress comes in ivory, and providing that it fit decently, would be a front runner (so I could spend the extra $$$ on an awsome photographer...).

I want the J.Crew Celeste so bad it hurts! Why did they have to quit making it. . .

ETA: It is my 'realistic dress' because it sells for less than $1K. I just have to scour ebay to get it.

My dream dress is probably the Monique Lhuillier Scarlet but seeing as I wouldn't even spend the money to get a used one these are my realistic front runners:

Maggie Sottero Vernice in ivory silk.

Maggie Sottery Amy

I'd be curious to try on this one from David's Bridal.

I think that this Watters is divine and I found it online for as little as $500!

I could so this all night... I can't wait to try on dresses!

How 'bout this Maggie, if you were able to get the neckline modified? It comes in more traditional colors as well.

Amy Michelson has the most glam-tastic dresses! The backs are incredible!
