Or men if you bought it for your wife or signficant other? Or yourself
I was watching I Love Lucy and Lucy buys a Don Loper dress and doesn’t get the price and it turns out to be $500.00 (I wonder what that is in today’s money).
Lucy also did the same thing when she went to France. And of course Marge on the Simpsons spent like $3,000 on a Chanel dress.
So my question is what’s the most you ever spent on ONE single dress. And if you care to explain the type or label or designer.
I’m a piker. The most I spent was $150 for a green silk dress/jacket for a high school reunion. I wore it once and sold it for $125. So I guess I spent $25 for it.
I don’t remember the label. Bought it at Nordstrom.
I said $0-99, but that was for standard dresses (which I rarely wear and never spend much more than $60 on). If you count wedding and bridesmaid dresses, it goes up to about $200.
$350.00 on sale from 850.00. For my brother’s first Wedding. It was a gorgeous silk number with pleating and hand-made lace, and was absolutely stunning.
My normal shopping mode however, includes business sutis under $99.00. I just don’t go for the expensive stuff, I prefer things that can go in the washer!
I think the most I’ve ever spent was a few hundred dollars, but I’m generally a bargain shopper- I like to get Chanel and Versace at outlets for a few hundred, not a few thousand.
I worked for the Los Angeles Opera and Philharmonic for a while and needed to dress appropriately for gala events. One day, in Nordstrom, I tried on (for fun) a couture gown that had been priced at $3,800 and was marked down to $900. It fit perfectly and needed only a little shortening of the hem.
I am not counting my wedding dress in this. It cost $1000 but that included shoes, headpiece, and all alterations. The only thing I had to buy was the fancy slip with the ruffles; I tried to forgo that because I am so cheap, but I tried the dress on without it and it really made a difference, so I went for it.
The most I have spent for a dress other than my wedding gown was about $125. Navy silk formal with a matching stole. I am soooo cheap.
$350, I think it was, for a gorgeous fuchsia and black silk dress which I wore for years. I bought it at some boutique or other in downtown Los Angeles around 1985.
