I just got a birthday card with the prices of stuff in 1954, so check the local card stores. Our library has a city archive, they might have stuff. Also old magazines and newspapers. Might not have wedding dress prices, but will surely have regular dress prices. Oh, and try Sears catalogues. Or call their headquarters, they'd probably have old catalogues or prices. A last thought would be any seamstresses in your area who were in business back then.

I'm not looking for a current value but what something would have cost in 1957. Specifically a cocktail length wedding dress?? My in-laws are having their 50th annv. in 2 weeks and the kids want to prepare a card where the punchline is "50 years together, priceless". They are trying to find the cost of typical wedding items from this year for the rest of the bit. For some reason they thought I would know about the dress :).
