Top 10 ideas for cheap bridesmaid dresses:
10. You'll be surprised to find out that your local flea market usually has shops which are run by local asian and latino men and women. The Latino community has a large Catholic base. They also celebrate quinceanera - a debutante type celebration. Bridal wear, quinceanera dresses, and bridesmaid dresses can be found at very low prices. Asian and Latin shops always have dresses for inexpensive prices shipped from China and Mexico.
9. Shop by internet and find materials to have your dresses made. A pattern can be purchased cheaper. Be careful though, having your dresses made can be more expensive than buying a dress. You have to buy the material and pay the seamstress. Remember to buy in bulk all the fabric and materials needed and check that you're paying less than is available at a store or online
8. Buy all dresses at the same time from a smaller dealer and you may get a better price. Shop at a department store and they're prices are set. Local business owners are glad to have the business and deal directly with the manufacterers. Steer clear of businesses don't deal with manufacterers, they charge a middle man fee to the consumer!
7. Bridesmaid dresses don't need to be bought from the bridal stores or boutiques. Simple and beautiful dresses can be found at the Misses or Juniors department of your local department store.
6. Craig's list can be a life saver for any bridesmaid. Including shipping costs it, you may be able to find your dress all over the country for less.
5. Shop ebay! Ebay has great stores for bridesmaid dresses. Be sure to check the design and style of the dress and shop around. Sometimes you can pay more by shopping on Ebay!
4. If there is a local fashion institute , you can probably convince a fashion design student to make and design your dress for cheap.
3. Shop for the dress as early as possible. You get a better deal on a dress if it is out of season. Buy summer dresses in fall and winter and vice versa.
2. Check local bridal boutiques, they will sometimes have your bridesmaid dress from previous seasons on display. Display dresses are sometimes discounted if the style is no longer in use or they are making room for new styles.
1. Your dress cost is cut in half if you resell it on online. Keep all tags and information on your dress so you can show proof of size and alterations. Dresses sell online for about $25-$50 dollars. BUYERS pay for shipping not sellers!
Best of luck and congratulations on being a bridesmaid
