Affordable BM dresses?

OK ladies, I am going to look at bridesmaid dresses next week with my girls. One lives in Douglasville, the other in Marietta. They are both on a very tight budget right now - one just bought a house, the other just changed apartments, so I want to go somewhere that has good prices for them (hoping to keep it under $100). We are meeting after work, so I need somewhere that is open late (we should be getting there around 6ish).

Any suggestions for affordable BM dresses in Marietta/Smyrna or Douglasville??

We can definitely go to David's Bridal, and I have heard of New Natalies, but I don't know how either of their selection or (most importantly) prices are for BM dresses.

Thanks for you help!!

    I looked at New Natalie's and they have a TON of dresses.  I wrote down the designer and style number of each dress I liked (they're usually on the tags) and then googled them when I got home.  You can buy them much cheaper online.  My BMs bought theirs on houseofbrides.com for about $50 cheaper than in the store.  There are a bunch of other sites too.  NN has all the fabric swatches for the designers too, so you can figure out what color you like. Good luck!

    I have had to purchase a gown from David's Bridal before for a wedding, and it was less than $100. Was pretty cute, too! I would definately check there. GL!

    I wonder if Prince William and Kate are registered at Target?

    Formally Yours in the Lilburn/Lawrenceville area has a decent selection of BM dresses too and they give the designer and style number as well so you can try and find it online for less. 

    I have been warned though, that buying online at a discount site is risky because the BM dress colors may be different shades of the same color.  I have never had this problem before when I have been a BM n friend's weddings, but I just wanted to pass along the warning!

    Happy Planning!

    We finally decided on a dress from Chadwick's (online) that was only $30 plus shipping.  They should be in pretty soon.  I hope we love them.  I ended up going that route because the David's dresses I liked didn't fit my MOH well, and others I saw were not very pretty or too expensive.  Plus, that way everyone bought their own.

    I was going to have them buy JCrew or Ann Taylor dresses (some JCrew ones are on sale right now), but they don't have plus sizes or petites which I needed for some of my BM's.  I like how Chadwicks has Petites, Regular, and Plus sizes.
