I had the same problem in my hunt. I wanted a dress I knew was two years old but the store was selling it at full price. I then attempted to trick them by pretending to continue looking and found a dress in clearance that was from the season and from the same designer but it was reduced to half price. I brought it up saying that I knew the dress I wanted was from 2 years ago and was the wrong season to begin with and I knew that it should be with the other ones in the sale section. They were caught aback and reduced my dress to the half off and I saved 200 bucks.

Now, I am not saying to try it, but if the dress you want is two years old and isnt in high demand, I would make sure that they are not trying to up the price just because you like it. If it has a price tag, look for cut off sale tags or inquire on the age of the dress to see if they will say that it is more recent than it really is.

Oh I forgot, if you have the maker, name/style of the dress you can google it and sometimes dresses outside of main cities (like New York) are way cheaper. I have a friend who purchased a 2 Be Bride dress for half the price of what a salon in Manhattan wanted to charge her for by ordering it from out of state. Of course, that also assumes you know what size you will need and can find a tailor to take it in for you. It’s definitely worth a shot! Good luck!
