    I was planning on using Nordstrom, but the dresses I found a few months ago are no longer there :( So now, I'm on the hunt for new bmaid dresses. Any suggestions? Many thanks!

    I ended up getting our Amsale bridesmaid dresses from Bluefly.  But here's an old post of mine with some Ebay sites that have lots of inexpensive options -- lots of BCBG, in particular:

    I like some Alfred Sung dresses (under the Dessy group) but I'm planning to buy them from NetBride since they have the best price. I may also keep checking out Nordstrom, JCrew, Macy's, Anthropologie, etc. for "regular" dresses that could work.

    Mine came from JCrew.  It was super easy for all involved, and everyone but the then-pregnant bridesmaid has worn them since.

    Alfred Angelo - Ironically it matches my Ella Bridals dress (not sure how that happened!).  Originally $160 at a local NY store...went 45 min away to an Alfred Angelo store in Allentown, PA where they were $120, then they had a sale for $99.  The AA store even honored the price for my bridesmaids that got their dresses two months after the sale (probably because 2 of them already bought theirs at the $99 price).

    My gals chose a black dress from JCrew that they liked.  I thought it was cool that they could choose something different that still went together.  AND they all got their dresses on Final Sale, so no one spent more than $75!  Score!

    i agree, lindsey316, www.twobirdsbridesmaid.com is the best idea ever!!!

     

    Another website that has a similar idea, but the dresses are a little cheaper is:

    www.cocomyles.com !

     

    (still like two birds better though)

    Mine are from Cache' but I have a smaller bridal party so that made it possible.  BCBG is another great place for small bridal parties.  Great quality dresses and sometimes great sales!

    I purchased all of mine from www.bestbridalprices.com . I think they are out of Chicago. The BM dresses are Belle by Venus and my girls gave me their measurements and normal dress size and they all fit perfect. The shipping was FREE, they came in on time, and the prices were 50.00 + cheaper than in the stores. They carry almost evey brand name.

    My mother and grandmother are also getting their dresses from them.  My mother saved 78.00 on her dress and the quality is fantastic!

    There is always someone to help you and they are very nice. If you need samples of fabrics they will also send those to you. Pam worked with us and was great!

    Hope this helps some other Bee's

    J. Crew... although only 2 out of 4 have purchased their dresses.  The other 2 are waiting for another sale, since they missed the pre-holiday sales.
