Affordable Bridesmaid Dresses.....

Hello
I am really struggling to make decisions on Bridesmaid dresses. We have chosen the colour as blue or navy. We have 6 bridesmaids and need to find dresses for a maximum of £60 each. We are playing around with mismatch high street bridesmaids at the moment, but can't seem to find 6 that mismatch well. Does anyone have any advice or tips of where to look for affordable good quality dresses?
I am worried about ordering from China as a lot of people I have spoken to have ordered not so great dresses. I would be so grateful for any tips
Many Thanks

Hi Thank you
I have looked at their website, have you ordered from them before? The dresses come from China, and it is very difficult to get a refund. It would be interesting to hear your experience
Many Thanks0 -
I think with mismatched dresses you need to either go for something in the same material and colour but in different styles like this. But you'd probably need to use a specialist bridal wear shop.
Or you can go for a similar style but in totally different shades like this or this which would be much easier to get if you wanted to use the highstreet
Okay for some reason none of these links work so I made a separate board and put them all on there http://www.pinterest.com/rachiibell/mse-links/0 -
Thank you for your reply, for some reason the Pinterest links you sent won't work. I have an account but it just says webpage unavailable.0

How about EverPretty on Amazon? They have loads of different styles and colours. Thats where I got my bridesmaids dress from. If you order ones that are actually dispatched by Amazon then its free returns so if you don't like them you can just send them back. We bought a few to try on and returned the ones that weren't right and the refund was in my account within days. We were careful to make sure we kept the tags attached etc.
Theres also Black Butterfly, My Evening Dress etc on Amazon.GC2012: Nov £130.52/£125

I don't know if you want shorter dresses or not but BHS have their twist and wrap dress in navy in the shorter length for £70.
I have the long length twist and wrap dresses in Sapphire for my bridesmaids. They can then choose which style they wear it in so it can suit their shape.0 -

Thank you for all your suggestions, I will keep researching them. If anyone has any more ideas please feel free to share, the amazon sellers look good and it's great you can return dresses for free. Does anyone have experience of Queenie Bridesmaid?0

If you're OK with your bridesmaids having short/vintage-style dress Lindy Bop has some really nice ones for around £30 a go: http://www.lindy-bop.com/dresses.html
I haven't seen them myself but one of my bridesmaids has ordered one - I'm seeing her tomorrow so can ask about quality etc then if you want?"A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0 -
I've had these being a bridesmaid

They are UK based, they are jersey material (great for hot days and venues who don't have windows or air con) and flatter most figures. They come in i think size 6 to 20, and are maxi length so still cute. I have 3 of them, they have ones with bling and without bling but they are great and I take them on holiday with me0
