BM dress cost

what's an average price for a BM gown. I saw some I thought were beautiful and reasonable - but my FH thought it would be too much.

I know every case is different - I was just curious.

Re: BM dress cost

My dresses were 230 plus dress acessories like a sash or a flower.. plus tax. They are normally 295, but the more you buy, the cheaper they get!

Jenny Yoo rocks!

Re: BM dress cost

Mine were $230-260 every where I checked until I looked into RK Bridal's no frills program (the designer is not available online). Anyway, I wound up getting them for $162+tax (~$176 each). I really wanted something under $150 but I figured that $12 wouldn't break the bank for anyone.

Re: BM dress cost

Although each girl ordered her own dress, the most expensive one is under $200--3 of the girls ordered dresses in the $150 price range. Alterations capped at $65

Re: BM dress cost

My girls dresses are 171...w/o tax...but they save 10% cause i got my dress there, so basically after tax it will be the same price. I wanted to keep it under 200 after taxes..so im happy with the price

Re: BM dress cost

Mine started at $160. Got the cheapest price from Bridal Reflections at $140.

I got a few quotes online and played 2 online stores against each other and got the dresses for $97.00 + $10 shipping total for all 7 dresses and no tax!

It's a tea length so alterations will be a bit simpler. I have a tailor in Huntington that will be doing the dresses for $30.00.
