Are you looking for affordable modest wedding dresses and affordable for you means “less than $500?” Start here, with this roundup of modest wedding dresses under $400!
Important: this post contains images in the form of embedded Pinterest pins. If Pinterest is not working properly, these pins/images will not appear. If this happens, I suggest coming back to the post a few hours later.
A few other things to note before you proceed:
1) Modest wedding dresses in these lower prices ranges are often sold online/mail order. That’s not the ideal way to buy a wedding dress because, duh, you can’t try it on (or if you can try it on through a try on program it will probably cost you). However, that may turn out to be your best option. Just make sure you think through your decision carefully and read all the policies.
2) Inclusion in this price category is based on the price listed in the dress description at the time that I visited the site to obtain that information. Prices can change!
3) When I give the sizes in inches (like this 32/25/35) that means bust/waist/hip measurements.

Blush
Blush creates wedding dresses designed to be comfortable. Sizes range from XXS to 4XL (that means measurements of 33/26/36 to 48/41/51). There’s a specific Curvy & Plus collection for sizes XL-4XL. I believe comparable dresses are available in both the smaller and plus size ranges, so if you see something you like but it’s not in your size range, poke around and see what you can find! Dresses are sold through the website.
Many dresses are rather modest to begin with, though some of us would want higher necklines or other improvements. Camisoles or modesty pieces may work for some (such as v-necklines) but custom changes are available. I don’t know what the cost would be for customization but I think many of the dresses would require relatively minor changes.
