Dress: David’s Bridal Style 83707

What she thought: This bridesmaid has had a history of trouble with strapless dresses, as you’ll see in her previous review. Luckily, this dress didn’t let her down (literally). “Though this dress didn’t stay up as well as the Alfred Angelo dress, it was much better than some other strapless dresses that I have worn. I was able to get away with not altering it, although maybe a few alterations would have made it fit a tiny bit tighter in the chest.” Overall, Claire enjoyed wearing this sleek charmeuse dress and David Bridal’s low prices didn’t hurt. “The price was great (only $99), the ruching was slimming and the dress had pockets—who doesn’t love that?” In fact, Claire enjoyed wearing this dress so much that she’s worn it to a few other weddings, and it even made her top 3 when she was choosing bridesmaid dresses for her own wedding!

Dress: David’s Bridal Satin Strapless Ball Gown with Sweetheart Neckline Style 84066

What she thought: This week’s bridesmaid was disappointed by this floor-length strapless dress from David’s Bridal. The quality of the fabric and dress construction didn’t match the $149 price tag and the fit left a lot to be desired. “The pleats under the empire waistband stuck out and no amount of ironing would make them lay flat,” she said. “I also spent a lot of money getting the dress hemmed. The length was uneven, so the dress almost looked as if it had a train. Since I had mine altered but other girls didn’t, some girls had a pseudo-train that day and others did not.” Though she does admit that the dress worked well for one of the bridesmaid who was pregnant, she wouldn’t recommend this dress. “After the wedding, I immediately took it to Good Will.”

Dress: David’s Bridal Short Cotton Dress with Y-Neck and Skirt Pleating (Style 83690)

What she thought: This first-time bridesmaid loved that the unique neckline set the dress apart, but the silhouette was still classic and flattering on the four other maids in this wedding. And the price didn’t hurt: “The dress wasn’t expensive (only $139), and I’ve been able to wear it to other social events, so it’s definitely a good bang for your buck,” she says. Another cost-saving bonus: None of the bridesmaids required alterations as the dress fit very true to size. The only downfall was the material. “It’s really stiff and doesn’t move with you, so it kinda poofs out sometimes. But other than that it’s a great find!”
