An Ascot dress is a real investment and so it’s good to have a rough idea of what you can expect to pay for one.
What Different Price Tiers Look Like
Cost-wise, high-street outlets will provide dresses suitable for general enclosures and retail for around £60 to £150. Mid-range occasion-wear designs typically cost between £180 to £400 and will often feature superior materials to allow for a far better fit. Boutique and independent outlet designs, hand-made from high-quality and unique materials, are often launched around the £400 plus bracket.
What Drives the Price Up
This means that a higher priced dress will typically contain better quality fabric, more lining and more detail to the seams. Structured bodices and hand-stitched hems are typical examples of added detail that will increase the price of a dress.
Where to Spend and Where to Save
Royal Ascot outfits work best when the dress is the biggest spend of the budget and then accessories and millinery can be hired or borrowed to complete the outfit.

Think About Cost Per Wear
A £350 dress worn to three occasions over three years, would cost less per wear, than a £100 dress worn once. Running through practical budgeting information will help plan out the whole outfit budget.
Buy Early to Get More Choice
The most popular sizes and colours of Ascot dress for sale are snapped up quickly as spring approaches. Those who shop for formal occasion wear in February or March can find a wider choice and occasionally even pre-season prices.
With a little bit of planning, it is possible to stretch your budget to cover the cost of your outfit and still have plenty of money to spend on the day.
