    The fact they easily sell a $3,300 dress for $1,999 and still make a profit says a lot about the profit margins of wedding dresses

      When I worked in a bridal salon, we would sell sample dresses at or below cost mostly because we needed to get rid of them and often they had some damage from being tried on by multiple people. I don't know about Kleinfelds, but generally the mark up on bridal gowns is lower than the mark up on regular clothes.

    I think it's kinda evil that they put the brides in dresses that go so much over budget and make them fall in love with them and put all that pressure for them to fork out thousands of dollars more than what they said they were willing to pay. If the budget is 500 and they don't have 500$ dresses, turn the client away. If the budget is 1000$ and they DO have 1000$ dresses but keep showing them 2k ones, that's just mean-spirited. I like watching the videos when it's about dress choices but i hate when it's about budget.

      a wedding dress like any gown is an intricate affair that is usually tailored specifically to the person buying it (unless it is on sale but then you need to alter it which can also be quite pricy 200 dollars at the very least but usually more than that I'd say). In general I think we forget how much effort it is to make a beautiful gown like a wedding dress.
      As an example, if the person making the dress needs 10 hours for the whole process and they get paid a living wage let's say 10-20 dollars an hour then the cost of making that dress without materials is 100-200 dollars alone. For a nice gown you need at least 2 meters of 2 to three different fabrics (lining etc.) which can be quite expensive if the material is decent so that is another 50 to 500 maybe even thousand dollars in materials (real high quality silk can go for hundreds of dollars a meter). Then you would end up with 150 to 700 plus production costs alone for one gown. Now these brands and stores need to make money. For fast fashion they usually sell the garment for roughly ten times the production cost (sometimes more sometimes less). So if it costs 150 dollars to make one gown most brands will probably sell it for 3 to 10 times the production cost so a standard non shitty labour conditions sown gown would be sold for at least 450 dollars or 1500 dollars.
      I think we often forget that high quality clothes are expensive. And wedding gowns are harder to make so naturally they are way more expensive (that's a gown not a t-shirt). 500 dollars for a well made dress is really not that much.
      I get that it's still a lot of money but it is really unrealistic to get a decent quality dress for 500 dollars in a boutique like the ones from syttd for many of them 500 dollars probably barely covers the production costs. If one is shopping in that price range a department store, home made or a mall are the way to go.

      Agreed. And I have a feeling the saleswoman picked out a $500 dress she knew wasn't the most flattering so she could convince them that they 'needed' to spend more. Not to speak for all salespeople - but they're quite literally trained to swindle people.
      My cousin worked as one once and she was always getting reprimanded and retrained for actually listening to customers when they said something was too expensive and helping them find things that actually fit what they wanted. Definitely do your research before going to these boutique styled wedding shops. I'm noticing a lot of the more exclusive shops have begun hiding the prices of the dresses online, so be careful with where you buy, even if you do have a larger budget. They ARE shady bc they know they can pressure you and manipulate you into feeling like you HAVE to buy more.

Cause they’re my friend and isn’t the point that they find something they like? In situations like that I guess I just don’t feel like I need my opinion to be heard so bad that I would sacrifice a good time and a forever memory with a friend just to voice: hey I don’t like that thing.

If I'm not the bride then it doesn't matter whether or not I think the dress is right in the end.

Wedding dresses are expensive because of the kind of materials used, aswell as the fact they're not usually produced in bulk, but by order.

      there's also the matter of having unrealistic expectations when you are walking into a designer boutique (specifically one like Kleinfelds). If this granny truly thought she could walk out of there for less than $1k+, she's severely out of touch at best and delulu at worst.

    First you’re adorable. I haven’t read the other comments and I’m sure someone has probably told you this but I’m the south “raising cane” means basically raising Hell. I’m a Southerner and I heard my grandparents say that a lot. I love the bridal tv shows! When the lady wanted to spend only £500 on a dress you said something about the cost of having it altered. My daughter was married 6 years ago and she found the dress of her dreams for $800. Well she lost 40 pounds before the wedding and it cost $1200 to have it altered! I can only imagine what the prices are now… please keep making your videos especially the bridal show ones. I love them!

    I'm from Northern Ireland, part of the UK... My wedding dress was only £850!
    It's a strapless ball gown (with many netting underskirts etc)of good heavyweight Ivory Mikado, with clear & wine red embroidery & beading across the bust, into a gathered/ruched waist to 1 side & down edge of sort of a false 'wrap-around' piece of material that went from the ruching down to the hemline. There was also the same embroidery & beading down each side of the lacing on the corset back...
    It also had a little handbag & a wrap/shawl included! Both were made from the same material as the dress, (double thickness on the wrap & colour matched lining material on the inside of the bag), with the same embroidery & beading along the edges of each end of the wrap & around the top edge of the bag!
    Not sure if my description is doing the dress justice or not, but it was so beautiful & not anything like I thought I would want, (was quite princess-y & girly (completely not me)... I was thinking of something a bit more plain, relaxed, bo-ho, sort of thing, as I am a 'biker' & not really a girly girl at all! Also my hubby & a lot of our friends are all bikers too & the wedding was 'biker' themed with motorbike balloons in each of the table centres, along with motorbike makes as names for each table at reception & a bride, groom & motorbike cake topper!
    As our wedding was at the end of November (in N. Ireland), it kept me toasty warm, well most of me, though the wrap definitely kept cold off my shoulders & arms! & The wee handbag was such a brilliant idea,! It was perfect for my needs, at the reception & evening party! It meant I could carry things myself that I might need handy! It was big enough so I could carry my phone, purse, small emergency sewing kit, lipstick & touch-up makeup as well as a few other wee things!

That's just insane to do to an old lady... specially one that raised you like WTF. I know the bride is young and seems kind of detached from how much money is actually worth but like that's you grandma are you seriously willing to swindle your own grandma for a single use dress? Like even if you resell it at half the price it still wouldn't cover the difference...

That seemed to be the style she went for imo and while not cheap by any means still have more budget friendly options

      and it's especially grating if the brides don't pay for the dress themselves but are upset if other won't/can't pay more for them. I'd never ever be shameless enough to ask anyone for so much money for just a dress.
