Do people really pay this kind of money in the real world? Or is this just unique to the kind of folks that can shop at Kleinfeld's?
FWIW, bought my dress on sale for $600 at David's Bridal, and even though I could afford that it still pained me to spend so much. Bought my veil for $30 off CL, then resold it for the same on CL.
