With wedding budgets being hit, thrifty brides may now walk down the aisle in the strapless, ivory dress, at a fraction of the traditional cost.The bargain, full-length gown features a boned bodice and comes with a satin ribbon belt.
It also has a net layered skirt and matching stole and is designed to make any bride 'feel like a goddess'.
The dress greatly reduces the cost of tying the knot in the current economic climate with recent research revealing the average traditional gown goes for more than £800.
The cut-price dress, which has been slashed in price from £100, has astounded those in the wedding industry.
Wedding expert Rachel Moschke, editor of Wedding Ideas magazine, said: "I have never seen a wedding dress this cheap.
"If you are on a really, really tight budget then it's great.
"A wedding dress doesn't have to be expensive but it has to give you a wow feeling and give you confidence - if it makes you feel that then great.
"Buying a wedding dress is usually a once in a lifetime experience and it's usually the most expensive dress you will ever buy - although probably not in this case.
"You can go to somewhere like M&S to buy a dress at any time. Do you want to do that with your wedding dress?
"Personally I think the experience of buying a designer dress from a boutique is great. When you pay more the whole experience and one-to-one service is very special.
"To an extent we need to protect our bridal industry. You can spend thousands of pounds but there are manufacturers who can create a dress from 200 pounds in some cases.
"If you can blow the budget on anything it is usually the dress.
"Maybe this is a sign of the times with the credit crunch and will appeal to those trying to save money.
"However, I would say there are so many other ways to cut costs rather than the dress."Click here to read the entire article.......
