House of Brides?

has anyone ordered their bridesmaids dresses online from here or anywhere else? i'm trying to get nice dresses that won't cost and arm and a leg!

I personally wouldn't order online.  I feel better trying things on.

I don't care for HOB at all.  I went to a salon to try on a dress for RHD and ever since then have received all kinds of promotional calls, emails and snail mail.  Since I didn't get married in Chicago and it's the only bridal/wedding salon I've been to hear, I know it's from them.  They even sent me a letter signed "anonymous" trying to put down another local salon. rude and sketchy!

If you're really looking for the cheapest price, I would try on the dress in a salon and order from HOB online though.

I don't know about online, but I went to the store and hated it.  I was about to meet someone for dinner and just stopped in to look through the racks real quick and they made me register to even look at the racks!  And they had someone walk through the store with me and write down options, although she was pushy and kept suggesting things that I didn't like.  It was stupid.  

I don't know that I'd order online, unless you do what Milkduds did and have already had them try on dresses by the same designer and order by the same designer online.
