Bridesmaid Dresses NEED HELP

I am having a very hard time finding fabulous, stylish, floor length, bm dresses for under $200. My colors are champagne and rose. My groomsman are wearing tan/taupe color tux's and my bm's are wearing rose colored gowns. I need help. I am a early planner, so demand nothing is last minute. Wedding is in October 2011. I was even thinking of driving to pearls place in New Orleans to get a deep discount. Has anyone been there? Is it worth it?

    what places have you tried? I did a google search and have found a few really nice ones. Also, do you have something specific in mind besides it being floor length? I also am having my BMs wear a rose color

    Alfred Angelo had quite a bit of nice floor length gowns right around the $180 to $200 price. I'd definitely check there first.

    You actually don't have to drive out there to order from Pearl's Place. Go try on some at Alfred Angelo and call them with the style number and they will be able to tell you how much they charge for that gown. I purchased my bridal gown from them without ever having to go to the store.
    And now we are as one

    Try typing The Wedding Accessory Superstore into Google. It's this store based in Arizona that sells lots of stuff online. They pretty much have all the designer dresses for cheaper. My friend used them after another friend living in Arizona found out about it. We have already gotten our bridesmaid dresses for her wedding and they look really nice. I plan on having my bridesmaids buy Bill Levkoff floor-length navy chiffon dresses that normally cost $208 for $140..

    I got mine from B2 for $160.00, and that included rush shipping. We ordered them from Ventura's.
     They have several different colors.  This one is B2083

    My colors are also dusty rose and champagne. I found my dresses at Alfred Angelo in a dusty rose color for $129.

    My bridesmaids found their dresses at Brickhouse Bridal in the Woodlands, and they were charging $188 for the Bill Levkoff #380 in Navy.  But were were able to purchase their dresses for $126.35 each from Perfect Bridal (online)... actually by phone & emaill... No taxes shipping to Texas from California or shipping charges since they were shipping all the dresses to one location.  I placed the order on 9/17/10, they promised the dresses by 1/17/11, but I received all their dresses on 11/5/10... in 7 weeks from ordering... it's another option you could do and save $$...good luck!

    My bridesmaids found there dresses at a boutique in Dallas.  I ordered it from Pearl's Place over the phone.  It went from $143 to ~$85.  What style/type are you looking for?  There are a ton below $200.

    I know you'e read the other replies, but I'll add another vote for Alfred Angelo's. My bridesmaids dresses are floor length with a halter neck and corset back in satin and because i got my wedding dress there, my ladies received a pretty nice discount. Style 7130, i think, but there are a few others that fit your basic criteria. Even without the discount, their dress would have been under 200$. Don't despeair, honey, the dresses are out there!

    I picked a Mori Lee Dress for my girls and got them from Panache located off 1960 by 249. The dresses was priced at 132.00. I agree Alfred Angelo have alot to chose from.

    I would try a store that isn't necessarily a "typical" bridal or bridesmaids dress store. My bridesmaids dresses came from Nordstrom and they were $160. I have found that the quality is better for the same price at department store then at bridal stores and the dresses are more unique. I also love the Nordstrom website because it's so user friendly. You can sort by color, style, length, ect. For example, here's a gorgeous one ($198)...
