I belong to a Medieval/Renaissance group. Many of my friends have gowns that you could either purchase or borrow.

Your budget may be a tad small for such a dress-some can be pretty expensive-have a trawl around local op-shops or costume hire venues is all else fails.

The group is part of the SCA - the Society for Creative Anacronism. We are a part of a Kingdon called Lochac, and the area with the phone code 09 is the Barony of Ildhafn. :) We do costuming, feasts, dance, rapier, heavy fighting, anything that was done from the 600AD through to 1600AD. You can find our website here www.ildhafn.sca.org.nz

Also do you want something fantasy based, or would you like something that is historically accurate and pretty at the same time?

I have a wool dress based on a painting of Ophelia.

Spoiler:

(on the left, to the right is Duchess Lochac- the SCA as mentioned has kingsoms and she was Queen at the time- this was just after Itried on the crown ;) )
Also a black dress with brocade belt and hanging sleeves:

Spoiler:

This is it before the neckline was cut (wide v with a wide brocade trim)
I don't know if I have pictures of it as it is but as you are in Auckland you can pick either up any time, or meet somewhere convenient.
Pm me for price as I am happy to part with these for the price you mentioned and I may have some accessories to add to that for free ;) (belts necklaces..)
