Splurge or save?

I recently went to a dress store out of state with a friend and fell in love with this dress. Sadly, it is $2000 after tax and would need to be shipped then brought to a seamstress to have the bodice taken in and get a hem/bustle ($300+). I was hoping to keep my total dress budget under $1500, and I feel torn because I don’t think this dress is worth $2300 in some ways. I’ve tried on better quality dresses for cheaper, and it frustrates me that the back of the dress is only one layer and is kind of see-through.

With that said, I absolutely love how this dress fits and looks. I’m hoping to hear if anyone has ordered a dress from Dearly Bridal because my friend found this dress that looks almost identical for much less, but my fear is that I will order it and will be disappointed that it doesn’t fit me the same way as the original dress.
