I paid $150 for the dress and $60 for alterations.  I would not assume that the dress would be worn again.

My bridesmaids spent about $150 on their dresses from David's Bridal. I can't recall what the most is I've spent, but probably no more than $200.

I'm only having one attendant, and she's gonna get to pick whatever she wants.  Most I've ever spent on a bridesmaid dress?  Hmm... last wedding I was in, I picked my own in the bride's color for $50.  I bought a black dress for a wedding that was over $100, and the dress rocked and I still wear it.  So I guess that's it.

my girls spent $118. they were incredibly well-made dupioni silk dresses from ann taylor's celebrations line. the most i have ever spent was $150. the worst bm dress i have ever worn was like $30 from target. it looked like a potato sack. i'd rather pay $200 for something flattering than $30 for something i am embarrassed to wear. my husband laughed at me and told me it's the worst he has ever seen me look in an outfit, including gym clothes and pj's. ouch. i agreed with him!

Jill have you looked at places like Dillards and Macys?  They have some nice dresses and you can usually find some great sales there too.  I also think buying out of department store will get you much more quality for your money too, as opposed to places like Davids Bridal.

My girls asked for it to be under $200. I've found two that I love, each for $160.IMO, it depends on what else they're being asked to pay for. If a bride wants the girls to buy specific shoes, I think she should lower the price.If I were a BM, I'd like to keep the whole ensemble under $250. My BMs won't need to take care of anything besides travel (we're picking up their hotel, wearing their own shoes, having a "spa night" the night before to DIY nails, etc.)
