Gosh I feel taken!

So...although I'm very happy with them I spent $160 on BM dresses and even more for my first wedding. My cousin in NJ just told me they just went online and picked out a dress from forever21.com and ordered them for like 30 bucks. Yeah all her girls are slim but hmmm...just saying. I saw the dress it is red with rousing and gourgeous and definately something the girls can wear again.

    Forever 21 is a great store to buy party clothes, but I would never buy a dress for a nice occasion like a wedding since the quality of the material and sewing is absolute junk.  I've had shirts totally unravel.

    Totally agree with the ladie's posts above.  You get what you pay for and you can't tell if it is good quality by looking at the dress online.  Also, they sell it at that price for a reason...it's made cheaper with cheaper materials.  Dont second guess your decision to go with higher quality materials!! :)  This is your wedding...not some night out at the club!  LOL

    I agree with the PPs.  It is your wedding and although Forever 21 might me cheaper, the dresses you picked are going to be nicer quality and more wedding appropriate.

    Agree with PP's.  And also think about it....your dresses will be fitted to the girls and look better in the end.  Your cousin is buying them off the rack and will not be fitted so they will not look as good as a tailored dress.  Plus they probably won't be as comfortable because they will be tugging and pulling on them all night.  Your wedding will look more put together!  It's great to share wedding ideas (like we do on here), but to purposely tell you that is like she's trying to throw it in your face.  Just know, it will be worth it to get the better quality ones.
