In today's PD, I read about a new bridal salon that is now open. It's called Something White and their specialty is designer (one of a kind, smaller name designers) gowns. They mostly carry bridal gowns, but also have some bridesmaid styles that are supposed to be very wearable even after the wedding. Here's an article. Might be worth a visit! Prices range from $1k-$5k or so.
