bridesmaid dress costs

Nic_Noc_Noo

Hi all

I've been searching through this forum (and others) but can't find the answer to my question....how much am I looking at for the cost of a bridesmaid dress in a bridal shop? Ideally I would like to get off the high street/similar but as a comparison has anyone bought say a Dessy or Alfred Angelo (or other name) bridesmaid dress for their wedding and did you notice much difference in cost/quality/fit?

TIA x

They obviously vary in price but mine is £170 then probably £35 in adjustments. Remember to ask for a discount if you buy your dress from the same shop!

Hi, mine actually weren't much more expensive. They are Forever Yours chiffon dresses from the same shop I brought my dress from. They were £139 each which wasn't much more than BHS dresses but I must say the quality and fit are much much better - and that's just the sample size! I found the high street dresses to be cheap material and ill fitting but that's just my experience.
Hope you find some you love

I got 2 matching alfred and angelo bridesmaid dresses on ebay new with tags in a style that was perfect to go with my wedding dress . £50 each. Only one needed adjustments so was a good bargain.

Our alfred angelo dresses were £150 each plus £25 for alterations

Of the ones I've seen in bridal shops, they were £120 to £190, the chiffon ones were nice quality but I didn't like the taffeta ones at all, they looked like fancy dress material, really cheap and shiny looking to me. I saw Forever Yours and Alfred Angelo I think.

I bought 3 made to measure dresses from the bridal factory outlet in Northallerton.
One was a size 24 (cost extra for plus sizes!), one was a size 12 and one was age 12, and they cost £149, £129 and £129 respectively.

my larger bridesmaid lost a stone and a half (after using the communal changing room!) and her dress needed drastic alteration, the other 2 needed letting out an inch, and all 3 plus my dress needed shortening and this cost £108.

Hope this helps

There were some nice looking ones on the littlewoods outlet store on ebay - just had a quick look!

What ages are your bridesmaids?
