Why do prices seem to be such a secret?

    I've noticed during my bridesmaids dress hunt that so many designers don't list pricing for their dresses! Is this because different shops may sell them for different prices, or what? It's just hard to comparison shop online without all prices being shown!

    Just wondering if anyone else had noticed that, or if anyone knew why. :)

    i noticed that too!! and you know what, each salon has different prices for the dresses which is weird to me, you'd think that they would be a set price..i wonder why too...hmmm...

    It's probably because they use individual salons to sell the dresses.  It's the same reason why you go to a car dealership and the price you get isn't the MSRP that the manufacturer quotes on their website.

    Yeah.

    It'd be nice to have a little MSRP sort of ballpark. :p

    I've noticed that more and more have started to add a pricing rubric though, which is nice.

    Yeah, that drove me crazy as well. I know there are always bound to be price fluctuations, but it would be lovely to have a suggested price.
