An open letter to brides:
Please stop making your best friends buy overpriced satin dresses from David's Bridal that they, under no circumstances, will actually wear again.
Thank you,
Kate.
Here's the thing; you don't have to find a bridesmaid dress from a bridal store. And it doesn't have to be $300 dollars. One of my favorite online boutiques, Mod Cloth, has a wide selection of gorgeous dresses, varying in prices. All of the dresses below are under $200, aren't made of tacky, shiny fabric, and still have that adorable bridesmaid look that you've been dreaming about since fourth grade.
