Does $150-175 seem fair?
I guess I'm having sticker shock after looking at the styles I like (all long because it's a winter wedding). I'm trying to pick a dress they could get shortened if they wanted and wear again, but I feel like long dresses are pretty hard to wear again and I guess that price just seems a little big too me.
Re: How much were your BM dresses?

id be happy if i were a BM and it was under $200
[QUOTE]My bridesmaids purchased their dresses at Davids Bridal for $100. If your bridesmaids don't have a problem spending that much then go for it. If they do, I would check Davids Bridal because you are going to have a hard time finding something under $175 at a bridal store.

Actually the funny thing is that the 3 styles like the one they wanted at David's Bridal are MORE expensive than others I have seen. They don't want strapless...which seems difficult at David's Bridal. We might end up going there, especially since it's so much easier, but I was REALLY disappointed with DB. They didn't have very many long styles with straps and they are all $150+! I know short dresses are really in style for BM dresses, but I wish they'd give a little more to work with.
I think mine were between 125 and 150. There are many options in that range or even up to 200 but above that, it is starting to get pricey for the BM's. Think about the bigger picture and what they might up spending on your wedding, the mre considerate you can be about that the more appreciative they will be! Sounds like you are on the right track for that too!
[QUOTE]If you want to look for dresses at a cheaper price and you're flexible about color try Victoria's Secret. Some of their dresses are really cute and most are under $100.

I WISH the color was easy to find....We want floor length (because it's in January in WI) champagne BM dresses with straps (their request, mainly so they don't have to mess with it all night). I think I actually found the one I/MOH really like from DB...At first I wasn't sure how'd it look because one of my girls is on the heavier side, but from the reviews it says that most plus size BM love this dress. There were even some pics and they all looked great! And it's $145...which is standar DB price for long dresses I guess. I might still check out Victoria's Secret though..thanks!
