~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



        The logic of the solution in the post by @mananth is incorrect.

        I came to bring a correct solution.



<pre>
If the dress was sold for 1500 after a discount of 25%, it means that

    0.75x = 1500,


where 'x' was the original price.


From this equation, we find

    x = {{{1500/0.75}}} = 2000.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  The original price was 2000 monetary units.
