David’s Bridal Corded Lace Corset Bodice Dress With Tulle Skirt ($200)
Another well-priced dress from David’s Bridal, this Corded Lace Corset Bodice Dress with Tulle Skirt can be yours for $200.
The ivory-colored spaghetti strap dress is made of cotton, nylon, rayon and polyester, and has a zipper in the back so it’s easy to pull on and take off. The corded lace adds texture to the bodice, and the tea-length skirt consists of more than 10 yards of tulle, giving it a classic silhouette and some good flounce.
BHLDN Sanders Dress ($280)
This slinky, beaded Sanders dress from BHLDN has a V-neckline and cap sleeves. Regularly priced at $390 and currently marked down to $280, it has a back zip and is made of polyester.
With 74 reviews, the dress has an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars. One bride who gave the dress a full 5 stars called it the “perfect wedding dress” and said that after getting sizing advice from a BHLDN stylist, it fit perfectly.
“I can’t stress enough how perfect this dress was,” the reviewer wrote. “I felt like a million dollars, despite the affordable price tag and it was soooo comfortable. I danced until 4am and never felt restricted or paranoid about it getting wrecked. I look back on my wedding day and purchasing this dress was honestly one of the best decisions I made.”
David’s Bridal Lace Square Neck Mini Dress ($150)
This David’s Bridal Lace Square Neck Mini Dress is for summer brides, those who want to change into a second dress for the reception or people who simply prefer a shorter dress.

The dress has a strapless ruched bodice and sweetheart neckline above a long column of airy chiffon.
Note that you may be able to find it on sale for just $99 depending on when you order it and not all sizes are currently available online, so you may want to check your local David’s Bridal location.
Azazie Sybil Wedding Dress ($399)
This Azazie Sybil Wedding Dress is the highest-priced on our list, but it’s still under $500 — and is simply stunning.
Reminiscent of Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, this gown is priced at $399. With a long-sleeve lace top, the dress has a chapel train made of satin, a high neckline and a belt at the waist.
While there are only a few reviews of the dress, one bride who gave the dress a full 5 stars wrote that it’s beautiful and everything she wanted in a dress.
“It is modest and classic, while still being beautiful and comfortable,” she wrote. “As a plus-size bride, this dress checked all the boxes for me!”
If you don’t see your dream dress here, keep an eye out for sales at stores and hit up the clearance rack next time you’re out.
Enjoy looking like a queen on your big day!
