Target Sells Designer Wedding Gowns For Less Than $200


CLEVELAND - Women spend an average of $1,000 on their dress for their wedding day, but Target hopes to change that without sacrificing style. The giant retailer is selling dresses online targeting budget-conscious brides. There's an array to choose along with accessories, all for under $200 -- definitely a way to help bring down the cost of the big day.
Elizabeth Harris is getting married and looking to cut costs.
She tried four of the dresses, fashioned by designer Isaac Mizrahi.
Some of Harris's family and friends got together to give their opinions. Some of them didn't know they were from Target, and they didn't know how much they cost.
The first dress has a classic look with a full skirt and special stitching on the bottom. Overall, Harris and the group liked it.
Dress two wasn't met with such enthusiasm, mainly because it was too simple. Dress three was similar to the second one, but has a flare at the bottom.
But dress No, 4, with a flowing skirt, won over the crowd. What made the dress even better was the fact it cost $159.
"No one would ever know that that was a $159 dress. It's so detailed, it's gorgeous," Harris said.
She said she wasn't counting on falling in love with any of the Target dresses, but she did.
If you need the dress altered, you have to take care of that yourself.
If you order a wedding dress from Target.com, and it doesn't fit or you don't like it, you can return it for a refund.
