Do I have to get my bm something else?

In lieu of a formal gift, I plan on buying my girls dresses, jewelry, hair and makeup. Thoughts? I don't want them to be disappointed....but this will save them a lot of money!

I wouldn't be disappointed, I would actually appreciate that way more than just about any other type of gift. That's really generous of you.

I don't think you need to get them anything else, especially if your budget is tight. If you really wanted, maybe you could to something small and cute, like those personalized tumblers to use the day of, but IMO I don't think its necessary.

You did more than enough already. Paying for what they need to be in the wedding is the best gift I can think of

That is very generous and definitely more then enough! I agree with the above comment that if it were me I would appreciate that more.

At the rehearsal dinner when you would have given them a gift you could maybe write them out a 'thank you for being my bridesmaid' card instead.

Good idea. I will write them a nice card, and then maybe I will include their day of jewelry and gift card to the salon for hair/makeup.

I agree with the other girls, that is so generous of you there is no way they will be disappointed! The card is a great addition though.
