Good Sites for Bridesmaid Dresses

[Tampachic]

Hi Everyone,
A friend of mine is getting married and has enlisted me to dress her entire wedding party. Does anyone know what are some good websites for bridesmaid dresses that could be worn again? It's outside in November and not too formal. She definitely wants the girls in short dresses. Hoping for a good return policy because everyone lives in a different state so we are thinking of ordering a handful so the bride-to-be can decide and send out instructions.
So far I've found some okay ones on anntaylor and jcrew...

Also looking for linen suits for very tall men in the $200-300 range.

Thanks!

J.Crew is known for the versatile bridesmaid dress.

Their dresses can be worn barefoot on the beach or with heels and accessories to dress them up.

If you can, encourage her to surrender the fantasy that the dresses will be worn again. If she can pick something she likes that is not too expensive and doesn't require anything gravity-defying to make it work, that's a victory.

Anyway, try Nordstrom. They have a ton of dresses and a good return policy (and the girls may be able to try them on).

It can be done. One of the reasons I suggested J.Crew is that several of my friends have J.Crew dresses that were bridesmaid dresses they wear all the time.

I second Nordstrom. I just bought a dress from there to wear to a wedding, but it could totally be a bridesmaid's dress.
