Bridesmaid Dress!

Hello all,hope you can help.

Two of my friends are getting married in March and as they're on a very tight budget,us bridesmaids are getting our own dresses.The dress can be any length or style, the only stipulation is that it has to be dark green.

I'm a student myself,and my budget for the dress would be around €100,so in all likelihood I'll buying online.The thing is,I've no idea where to start!Could anyone recommend some websites to me?Ideally ones where you can browse by colour.

Thanks.:)

All of these websites have nice dresses.

http://www.asos.com
http://www.monsoon.co.uk/
http://www.coast-stores.com/
http://www.missguided.co.uk
http://www.topshop.com/
www.eBay.ie / www.ebay.co.uk

You can get some really good bargains on eBay, I know it's risky as you can't send the dresses back, but if you found something you really liked and wanted, you could get it on eBay or maybe a quarter or half the price you'd pay in shops.

For Miss Guided if you enter the code FBLIKE23 you'll get 10% off your order, this code expires on Feb 13th though.

I've ordered from Miss Guided before and delivery was around ten days if I remember correctly.

I understand not all those websites are suitable for bridesmaids dresses, but it might help to get some ideas.

Most bridal shops have sale rails that could suit if you wanted to pop into a few. They can be reasonably priced off the rack!

If you're on a real budget keep an open mind, don't just think little shiny dress or typical attending a wedding dress, buy something you can wear again or dress down,
If you're buying online the bigger the size the trickier it can be to find something that fits.
Regardless I find there are some types of dresses I avoid buying online especially ones with zips on the side no matter if you're a size 12 or 18 they range so much in size and theres not much of a give in them.

A nice dress with an empire line or a tie in the middle is a safer bet for ordering online as you can get away with something being a bit too loose to a tiny bit too big, I would avoid dresses that give too much chest support you could end up with over hang or loose cups.

You'll be grand, I got my debs dress 5 years ago in TK maxx, it was dark purple empire line dress down the my shins that made an A shape and had a twisted satin Grecian style straps it was lovely and only cost 29.99 and was basically the same 300 euro shiny dimonte Grecian stlye dresses but nicer, its worth a look if you get near one!
