So, anyway, here's what they have at Target. THese first three are from the aforementioned new bridal collection, and each cost $160. This is my favorite, it's called the Trapunto Bell Dress.
This one is a little fluffier, it's the Tulle Princess Dress.
This one is pretty snazzy, I like the top/neckline a lot, although I'm not sure how it would work for those of you with larger bossoms. The belt thing is detachable. It's the Classic Princess Dress.
These next two are not officially part of the bridal collection, but they look like they could be dressed up easily with the right accessories. They have the advantage of being REALLY cheap and also somewhat easier to wear after the wedding. This one is the Long Silk Chiffon Faux-Wrap Dress and it only costs $60.
This one is called the Long Linen Maxi Dress and it's only $23! It clearly needs a stout slip, as noted by several of the commenters. It only comes in size 2-14 though.
Initially I put all these pictures up in black (there are a few other colors available in most of these designs) so they would be easier to compare. But then I got to thinking, why not have you all wear black? Black is a good color on pretty much everyone, the guys are wearing black tuxes, and black always looks elegant. On the other hand, it might look kind of somber & serious... Ack! too many choices!

Let's wear all black -- AWESOME>
For a little color accent, we could each wear a shawl (same style, in a color of our own choosing) and wear a matching flower in our hair. Pretty pretty
OOH, I like that! I guess really it isn't TOO different from the original idea of each of you in matching black skirts with a dif color top, which helps allay my fears that it would look too somber to have you guys in black.
The flowers should match the color of the shawl you were each wearing, but they wouldn't have to all be the same type... I think it would be cool to have, say, blue asters, green zinnias, red gladiolas, yellow roses, and purple horseshoes, I mean dahlias. :)
The flowers could also match the boutineer of the groomsdude that you walk with!
I like the shawl idea as well. $160 is a little steep for me but if it's black it could work ok for other things. Have you tried Macy's and Maripoa. Niether place would have official briedsmaids dresses, but have formal wear and resonable prices.
I did look at Macy's - most of the reasonably nice-looking dresses were overpriced, and the reasonably-prices ones were kinda skanky.
I looked for Mariposa, but they don't seem to have a website, or at least not one that I could find. I guess I could go out to the mall, but I'm lazy.
Nordstoms and David's Bridal have a few good options too, a little later here I'll put up a new post with some more choices that I have bookmarked.
nice range!! Shawls and Scarves
