Big selection of bridesmaids dresses

lisaandmatt6192011

I'm starting my search for bridesmaid dresses, and I want to bring a few of my bridesmaids shopping with me.  Any suggestions on places in the Chicagoland area that have a wide variety of dresses? 

All I care about is the color (maroon/burgundy) and of course the price (the cheaper the better).  I have mostly busty girls and a few plus-size.

Thanks so much!  It's kind of overwhelming to look for dresses!

I found the places with the largest BM selection were House of Brides and Marilees in Arlington Heights.  HOB was def the most expensive though so if you find what you like there you can order it somewhere else much cheaper.

Check out Davids too for dresses...they will have samples your plus size girls can try on which will really help. Not everywhere has plus size samples for bridesmaids.

I completely agree with this......as a plus size girl, it really sucked when I was a BM in a wedding and we all went to pick out dresses and everyone else could try on the dress and I they didn't' have a sample that would fit me.  Sure, they can orderit, but I ended up spending $300 on a dress that made me look like a sausage.  The bride would have picked a different dress if we had known how bad it looked. Plus, it was embarrassing.
