How much should a bridesmaid dress cost?

Original post by kara10152006

What are your bridesmaids paying for their dresses (please include the estimated cost for alterations) ? I'm trying not to take advantage but I really love this dress!

[Honestly no one ever wears a bridesmaid dress again unless its a short cocktail black dress.




Not true - My BMs wore Lazaro black tired gowns for my Wedding. - they have ALL worn them again since then (and it was only 6 months ago) If you choose something classic and not 'typical bridesmaid' which a lot of people do now, your BMs will be spending $200+ on a gown they can wear again and again.

The dress came to about $175 with a $65 cap on alterations. One bridesmaid is 'a perfect 6' and needs no alterations, another reached the cap.

My MOH's dress was $110, and I don't know how much she paid for her alterations.
