Used bridesmaids dresses are a great alternative but search early.
If you are on a tight budget or simply just very frugal, used bridesmaids dresses can be a great option. Many brides worry about burdening their friends with the high cost of a bridesmaids dress. There is a web site, www.usedbridesmaidsdresses.com, where people can buy and sell used bridesmaid’s dresses. However, when we visited, there didn’t seem to be very many choices.
One of the disadvantages of bridesmaids dresses that are used is that they may not have the number or sizes you need. On the plus side, however, most dresses can be altered to fit your bridesmaids if they are within the general range. If you find designer dresses of the used variety, you can always order the same dress new and then split the total cost of all the dresses among your bridesmaids. (Be careful about color here. There may be slight variations because the dresses won’t all be from the same dye lot.)
For used bridesmaids dresses check out consignment shops, Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or any other place that sells used clothing. If you plan on using used bridesmaid dresses you’ll want to start your search early, as it requires a lot of legwork. You will probably have to search a great deal before you find what you are looking for. If you aren’t picky, this can be a great way to hold down costs for your bridesmaids!
