Custom made dresses in PI can go anywhere from P5000 to P50000. Mine is done by a trusted designer and I am very satisfied I am paying P12000. You may check on the internet for wedding dresses in the US and they can go from $100-$3500. The gowns in the US are mostly off-the-rack too, meaning RTW. This means that if you need to have it altered for your Filipina figure, you'd have to pay for $150-$250 on top of the rack price.
