depends whose wedding it is. I've spent as much as $600 though. (I was 3 months post partum and had lost all my baby weight and it was my first night out on the town...I wanted to feel really pretty)

It depends on the time of year. In the summer I can usually find something cheaper. I've bought dresses for wedding ranging from $60-$200

I've spent as little as $45 on a clearance dress at Macy's (yay me! Chat Icon ) to about $200 on a dress at Lord and Taylor (after coupon Chat Icon ).

Re: how much do you spend on a dress as a guest at a wedding

Depends on how I am feeling about my body and since weddings aren't so dressy here, but clothes are three times more here than in the states Chat Icon , I try to get something I can wear again or at least to another dressy event.

Re: how much do you spend on a dress as a guest at a wedding

I bought a dress for $160 but I justified it because I had 3 wedding that year alll different people so I was able to wear it each time.

It was from Black & White. I love that dress!

i wear dresses A LOT and buy what like and what fits. i have plenty of dresses that are suitable for both day and evening weddings. if it was a black tie affair and had to buy a dress that i knew i would not really wear again, then i probably would not spend more than $200.

Usually $75-$125 but I've spent up to $350 if it's a year I have a bunch of weddings (with different groups of people Chat Icon ) where I can get some mileage out of it.

$200 if I loved the dress. I think I've paid anywhere from $50- $200. If it looks good and is comforatalbe for a long wedding it's worth it!

I prefer not to spend more than $150 on a dress for a wedding but probably the most I have spend was close to $200.
