What are your colors?
1) Try www.alfredoangelo.com -- great mix/match and great quality with many, MANY colors.
2) www.foreverbridals.com is another one that has great dresses, many colors, and great rush orders
Stay away from David's Bridal, and you can do anything over the phone. Start looking at bridal shops and find the style you like, then have your bridesmaids phone in their sizes. It's more flexible than having to deal with David's Bridal because you'd have to order them at the same time anyway to get into the same dye lot.

If you have a David's Bridal in your area that is a good place to look. They have dozens of styles and colors to choose from. They order dresses (they are willing to sell the dress off the rack, and this apparently has caused a misconception that you have to buy it off the rack. not so) in so many different sizes. Dresses run an average of $90 to $130 a piece which is so much better than other boutiques. If you order them at the same time they'll even give you a discount.
It might also be beneficial to peruse the formal sections of upscale department stores. I know of brides who found great deals end of season, etc. Good luck!

Davids Bridal has a few bridesmaids gowns that are $100 and bunch that are under $150 and they have a store in Springfield. Any local bridall shop should be able to work with your budget, if they won't find a new shop. Bridal shops are a dime a dozen. Good luck.

You need to determine what price range you are looking for by asking your bridesmaids what they are willing to pay. If you go to a smaller bridal shop, they will work with you on what designers are in that price range.
For my wedding, we used Mackenzie Michaels dresses (www.mackenziemichaels.com ) as the majority of their line is under $150. My BMs paid $106 for theirs.
Also, if you look at places that are not specifically bridal you may do better as well. I.E. JCPenney, Chadwicks, Famous Barr/Macy's.
Happy Planning!

My sister-in-law found a suitable dress at a department store (Belk's or Dillard's). The saleslady called around for her to find the same dress in multiple sizes at stores in different locations, and then her bridesmaids either picked them up themselves or they were shipped to the central store. Most of the dresses were less than $50! Her maids were so thankful! (The dresses for my wedding were about $180 at a bridal shoppe.)

i would try nordstroms, j. crew, macy's....
department stores like that. (i think they were mentioned before) i have to say that my bridesmaids all got their dresses at each of these places. one girl got her dress at macy's. the dress was originally $150. then was on sale when we found it for 75% off. then when we went up to pay for it it was on sale for an additional 1/2 off the 75% discount!!
we could not believe it! and it is absolutely gorgeous!!!
needless to say the other girls did not have luck like that but they also found fabulous dresses at nordstom.. i think this girls dress was about $90...and the j. creww dress was about $110.
so, look around in formal wear, evening gowns and other places. i made it easy on us. my thing was that they could wear anything that i approved of as long as it was in the color i wanted. and it actually looks great. each girl has a different dress in the color i want...and they all will wear the dress the got again and again!!
good luck...shop around and don't be to picky if you are in a price range....try to be more creative and imaginative.

i know your attempt at being clever and allowing your brides maids to opt for their very own form and budget for their clothing. despite the fact that, there is greater to their costs han basically asking them to purchase new shoes, getting their hair carried out and their make up carried out as nicely. they'll incur the cost of any specific undergarment costs, the bridal bathe costs, the baccalaureate social gathering costs, the marriage present cost and shuttle costs for the time of. So, with all of those costs extra up, you're speaking approximately a minimum of four hundred funds or greater. As finished time scholars and section time workers, those women can not have the money for any extras at the same time with procuring new shoes and procuring a hair do and make up that washes away in the previous bedtime. All different costs are envisioned as component to accepting a bridal social gathering invitation. As a seamstress, i understand long clothing conceal the shoes, so according to threat you will be able to desire to bend somewhat there? And, to pay for hair and make up is extravagant for a undesirable finished time student. Can another buddy(s) are available and do the make up and or hair? this could help their budget very plenty. i'm no longer attempting to p.c.. aside your plans here, on no account. i'm basically seeing so plenty greater costs than a gown. those issues upload up rapidly. Do the maths and you will see.

I found my bridesmaids' dresses at JCPenney for about $70/each. I wanted them to have a dress they might actually wear again.

What's a "good price" and how formal do you want? A good price to you may not be a good price to me.
Anyway, try J.Crew, Nordstrom, and Bluefly. Look in all their dress section - not just the stuff for weddings.

Look in the newspaper for second hand dresses or even in a good charity shop, remember they have usually only been worn once.
