My girls are in Bill Levkoff style 329 in plum chiffon. The dress is extremely flattering on all the girls which is why I chose it. I chose style 329 bc it had a corset back which allows for cheaper alterations for the girls (most of them just need the hem done). It's also a very affordable designer. They got long dresses for 190 dollars. Originally, the dresses were 220 but I purchased my wedding gown at the place so I was able to negotiate a discount. All the girls paid cash so no tax either.

I went with Alfred Sung D606, in Midnight Blue. It's more of a cocktail style dress and I found it online at bridesmaids.com for almost 100 dollars less than the bridal salon! The dress has a halter so it's flattering and it had a rouched top, i love it, and so do my girls!

I haven't picked anything yet but I have been a bridesmaid/will be a bridesmaid in a total of five weddings by the end of next year and can say that the two weddings I'm in next year both girls are using Bill Levkoff in chiffon fabrics.
I've also worn a Jim Heljm (Sp?) dress that was kinda that taffeta fabric with a ruffeled halter that was super comfortable, and since it was black I was able to wear it again. It was purchased at Village Bridal in Babylon. However this dress/designer is expensive..
Alfred Angelo also has some nice styles for bridesmaids, the dress I had by him was a strapless corset and really, a strapless dress with a corset is the best. I didn't have to worry about it falling down since I was tied in! And the dresses are affordable.

I foresee myself picking something long and flow-ey for my girls, and probably something with straps/one shoulder/halter neckline.

Bill Levkoff makes really nice dresses that are flattering for all different body types. My girls are wearing a Bari Jay dress though that comes with detachable sleeves.

I also did s bill levkoff chiffon dress, style 769. It looked great on all the girls. We all went together and I let them pick the dress. I just knew I wanted them all in the same dress and floor length. They all fell in love with this dress right away.

I like Dessy styles and I prefer Chiffon not a fan of Satin or heavier fabrics for the girls dresses.

I am looking at Lazaro- more expensive (around 300.00) a dress- but he is much different than your average bridesmaids dress. His fabric is nothing like other dresses... and I just think everything he does is breathtaking!

I went with Alfred Angelo in a taffeta fabric. I loved the dress, it was flattering on all my girls, and it has POCKETS! We're getting ready at the hotel at the venue so no one will have to sit in the limo or anything before pics, so I won't have to worry TOO much about wrinkling, since taffeta wrinkles SO easily. I just didn't want chiffon.

ETA - the dresses were $172 after tax and so far the experience at Burton's has been good, bordering on fair. Only one of my girls is getting alterations there, so we'll see.

I went with Alfred Sung D522 in Begonia. Color was a tough choice for me, originally I wanted a blush pink, but since the dresses came in I'm so happy we went a shade darker!

My girls are going to be wearing Dessy, After Six collection style 6697. The fabric is marcaine jersey. It's super comfortable bc it's jersey but it had a really nice shine to it that makes it look formal.
