Just remember if you are wearing a strapless, one shoulder or spaghetti strap-type dress that the fit on the top has to be exactly right, and don't skimp on the undergarments. That Lulu dress is too short at the bottom and WAY too short on top. That model, probably quite tall, would be falling out of that dress in no time flat.
And don't forget "vintage." If you live in a larger city, you can probably find some great things in thrift stores. You just have to be patient because you probably won't hit gold on your first visit to your first store.
Good luck, and good for you for not outspending your budget. You can spend less, you just have to work harder to do it.
