197. People who earn less than $150,000 could afford that dress
If it was important to them. Some working class brides spend over a months wages for a dress that they wear one day so why might someone not spend one months wages on a dress that they might wear for important formal occaisions that might help them look the part for getting ahead in their career, for example.
Plenty of "working class" people readily drop that much on a vehicle. Plenty of middle class people drop that much or more on private/parochial school. Some middle class people might spend that much on new furniture/remodeling that does not add value to their house. It is up to them what they deem important enough to spend their money on.
