Typcially - in your experience - how much will the bridesmaid dress set your girls back? What dress are you ordering and how much (ballpark) if you don't mind sharing?

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses
Most of the dresses I have been viewing have been $175 or less. Many is the $109-125 range.
Unfortunately Most online bridal discounters don't carry Jim Hjelm BM dresses. So I will most likely get my dresses from RK Bridal. Their no frills price for the dress I like the most (posted below, but my dresses will have a lilac sash) is $167.

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses
My girl's dresses were approx 150 with a cap of alterations of 55? I think...
It really depends on the designer of the dress.

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses
My girls are wearing this Bill Levkoff #402 in Eurowine. It is $205 with tax. I tried to go the RK BRidal route but my MOH had a baby and we couldn't get accurate measurements without the help of a salon. the dress would have been $115+tax.

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses
We went with a Jim Hjelm dress that was going for anywhere between $232-260 in every bridal salon I called. We wound up purchasing them from NetBride for $161.
I really played bridal stores against each other and got a $65 gown down to $125 with an alteration cap of $65. If you don't care which salon you buy from...definitely play them against each other. I did for my bridal gown to and got that down $250.

I also got a Bill Levkoff..Ordered it from Netbride for $105. I think the store we tried it on in wanted like $150-170, I don't remember the exact price.

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses
These are my dresses ~ I'm told that I can get them for $190, but if you go onto www.bridaldiscounters.com, you can get a free price quote from them. Mine came out to be $111 + $10 shipping per desinger/per address.
My girls are paying $275 at Bridal Reflections for these Lazaro gowns... a little on the expensive side, yes, but we all loved them. I've also paid more than that for BPs that I've been a BM in.

I wore that dress as a BM in Texas in March. They were beautiful!! Good luck with them!!

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses
Mine are from David's Bridal. $110.00 each Not sure which one yet.
What's the RK Bridal No Frills thing about? Sounds good!
No frills means they won't do the alterations.

And they do not measure you, you have to go on your own.
Basically they give you a form and you tell them how many size 6's, how many size 10's, etc ... you need. You do all the work ... so unless your girls fit into the normal sizes on the chart, then it might be tough. I had a hard time with a BM that had just given birth and her sizes were wacky.

They do measure you if you ask, but only if you bought your wedding down there.
