Unless you know someone who can sew, you could probably find a dress pattern from a sewing store (about $10-15 for the pattern) and could have one made for about $100 (not including sewing cost and might be cheaper if the fabric costs less).
You should be able to find a informal dress for under $200 though.  There's this store in NYC that sells gowns that you'd wear to weddings and proms, long dresses but most are strapless, most are satin and organza with some embellishment, they only cost $40 and they look much pricier. Not sure if they have white though.
Like here are some white gowns from usually overpriced Nordstrom under $100 that need a cover up, they're plain so some sort of fancy cover up could jazz them up and they'd still look bridal.

I'll get the exact address, it's right across from Penn Station on 34 st, a few stores down from Sephora. Upstairs they sell cheap clothes, downstairs are dresses, dress shoes, fancy purses, evening gloves, etc. |

To temple only. And you hardly go to temples anway, except to posthumously marry, baptize people, or to get married yourself. |
