Looking for Inexpensive Bride'smaid dresses

sruss88

Hi, I'm looking for dresses for my bride's maids and maid of honor that are inexpensive, (hoping for $50 or under) and are also modest, as 2 of my girls won't wear dresses that are short, strapless etc. I've looked online and if I find one that might work it's over $200. Be very grateful for any ideas. Thanks

Check online.. I can't help with specifics since I don't know your colors, feel, etc.. but Forever21 has a few sleeve dresses right now

Modcloth has a ton

And if they are open to a single shoulder gown, you can find a TON more options.

We're going for purple for the color, haven't decided on just what shade yet.  Thanks I'll check those out

The problem you're going to run into is that that's a specific color to be picky about style AND pricetag. You may not have any luck. That being said, Macy's Jr department has a few right now (if they are okay with sleeveless)

The women's department has a few that are under 50...

Yeah i'm discovering that it's a hard color to find. Plus all 3 of my girls are totally different shapes, and heights. Range in age from 17 to 25 and have different styles. Hopefully I'll find something tho.

How short is short? This looks at least knee length, and is only $20 more than your target price. Budget allowing, maybe these could work with you picking up the extra $20? http://sites.target.com/site/en/spot/mobile_product_detail.jsp?tcin=13804536&keywords=Bridesmaid

I wish you good luck because I had the damndest time finding purple dresses that were long and not strapless.  I gave up on the $50 bridesmaid dress for my sister and just paid the $150 to be done with it.  

If you event isn't too formal this might work.  I got this one for my mom.  It was on sale the other week.  She likes the dress a lot and can wear it too church as well so it's not a one time deal.  It was under $50 the other week.  http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/elementz-dress-three-quarter-sleeve-b-slim-a-line?ID=644248&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results

My bridesmaids got theirs from Ann Taylor. Wait for one of the sales (typically on a three-day weekend) and it ended up being around 120. Sign up to get e-mail and you will also get discounts. Good luck!

Can you just give them guidelines and have them buy their own dresses. So they are different but in the same color range and length?

thanks for all the help. We found one that we ordered, we're hoping they work, if not we'll just try again

Schpankehhh

I think David's Bridal is actually relatively cheap for the quality. Or there's always Jcpenneys as well.
