Where can I buy bridesmaids dresses?
I am in a wedding next month (no, I'm not procrasinating, I just found out about it). I am in charge of picking out my own dress the only stipulation is that it has to be tea-length and a solid color.
We have a David's Bridal and I will check there but I was looking for other options too. The only other bridal shops we are ridiculously expensive designer places and that just isn't in the budget. Anywhere online or in-store where I might find BM dresses?

Re: Where can I buy bridesmaids dresses?
What color does it have to be and what will you be willing to spend?
Honestly, Davids may be the best bet. You can buy off the rack and be done. There's also Alfred Angelo.
I'm told it doesn't matter what color as long it is solid and probably in the pastel family (this in itself is driving me nuts, give me a damn color!)
I don't have a specific budget in mind but I would like to keep in under $200 and closer to $150 if possible.
JCrew and Ann Taylor offer bridesmaids dresses. I'm not sure of their turn around time, though. You may just have to go to a department store and buy off the rack, though.
That's kind of confusing. Lol.
I think you could do less then that. Tea length is more of a 'bridesmaidsy'-length, so a bridal store is probably the best bet.
Target has a bridesmaid collection. http://www.target.com/c/women-women-s-ways-to-shop-bridesmaid-collection/-/N-5c7eq#?lnk=Combo_dresses_0429_X3Y0|X3Y0&intc=508080|null All of the dresses are 69.99 and you should be able to get some kind of a discount code to make it less than that. I would pair any pastel dress with a pair of nude pumps. If you do not have any already you should be able to find a pair a tj maxx or target for less than $40. That way you can use the shoes again.
This dress does not come in pastel but it is a great option for an inexpensive tee length dress for a casual/not too formal wedding. I wore it in one of my friends weddings in chocolate brown. http://www.target.com/p/Mossimo-Womens-Crossover-V-Neck-Empire-Dress-Assorted-Colors/-/A-12360330 I know it will not work for you but I thought I would post it in case anyone else is looking at this thread for ideas.
You could also check Goodwill, especially if you're a common size. Obviously it's completely random what they have, but I always see at least 3-5 bridesmaids dresses when I go in one. Maybe you would get lucky.
i would check out department stores and places like ann taylor etc for something that will meet the requirements.
Nordstrom option - It looks like a pastel yellow on my computer, but it also comes in green and blue.
