Another one with the wedding dress. It retailed for about $2000, but I got it from RK Bridal for $1200. Add in another $100 or so for alterations, plus the veil, plus undergarments....but I love my dress! I *could* have spent more (there was an Amsale I fell in love with, but I restrained myself and went with my dress, because it was perfect and it was in silk like the Amsale, I just wasn't paying for as much of a name)

Next would have to be my Kate Spade. I think I paid around $200 for it. I've used the hell out of it and its still in perfect condition, so I don't regret that one bit.

I have a pair of black suede high heeled shoes that were $250. The only problem is my feet grew one size and now I can't wear them anymore. I gave them to my mother and she wears them now, so they are getting use.

My senior prom dress was almost $600. Outrageous for prom-I know-but it was so pretty that my parents bought it for me!

I like Diors better. I paid 330$ for a pair of clear ones for myself in December.

You've got good taste. I still love my Chanels though.

$288 on my last formal for a formal banquet that I'm going to April 24th. Price didnt include the alterations........they had to cut seven inches off the bottom and it was four layers, plus take up a strap..........so I dont know how much more it's going to cost me....I'll find out April 7th when i pick it up.........and then I'm going into hiding (I used my dad's credit card to pay for it and shit is going to hit the fan because I bougth shoes and a purse and jewelery to match and it's already over 400 bucks).

I'm thinking probably a couple dresses I have that were around $400 or $500 each. But, these aren't things I bought myself, my parents did.

I tend not to spend tons of money on clothes (except I like nicer jeans - they are usually around $150 - $200), but once I get a little farther along in my career, I will!

I have spent over $135 on my prom dress in my senior year of high school, and I brought it at David's Bridal. It was a purple long dress. I wanted to get the $170 dress, but I like the cheaper dress better.

GeekyPenguin 04-06-2004 02:33 AM

I think my senior prom dress was $250 before my employee discount...hurray for working at the mall.

I'm going to be ridiculousl once I get my JD, but I'll have earned it.

TigerLilly 04-06-2004 09:17 AM

Whoa. I can't think when I've ever spent that much money on a single article of clothing as some of you have. I think the most I've spent on a formal dress was just shy of $100, and I got one awesome one on Ebay for $15!

Dropping $100 on a pair of shoes or a purse still seems like a LOT to me...but then again I am still a broke-a$$ college student so perhaps things will be better when I have a decent job of my own.

Jadey28 04-06-2004 09:22 AM

If bridal dresses count, I spent $135.00 on my bridesmaid dress. Plus the $75.00 for alterations. :( However, I did get to wear it for my boyfriend's formal, so I guess it's not that bad.

alphabug02 04-06-2004 10:22 AM

My wedding dress was $1000 w/ veil, headpiece, etc... but I don't ever regret that it was a beautiful off white, off the shoulder lace dress.

The one purchase I'm not sure if I regret yet or not is the bridesmaids dress that I have yet to pick up or even see in person, since we live in a different part of the state and I had to send in my measurements, the dress has already cost me $300. I can't even imagine what the alterations will cost since I just got a call saying that there are yards of extra fabric on each dress. I just keep repeating to myself I love my sister in-law and she has good taste, I love my sister in-law and she has good taste.... :)
