Women's dresses are an inexpensive outfit for everyday wear, but a formal bridesmaid dress is usually a one time occasion dress. Today, more than ever, its important to find the lowest cost bridesmaid dresses available. The economy is rebounding, but its still doing so very slowly. Bridesmaids need all the help they can get with the cost of their dresses. Here are 11 ways to keep your bridesmaid dresses costs down, while making your wedding more fun and fresh!

1. For any outdoor weddings during the fall, where a chill may be in the air, long dresses are the best option. But longer dresses don't mean more expensive. Last year's gowns are this year's deals. Check local boutiques for sales on out of season dresses, even summer stock dresses can be worn with a bolero jacket or shawl.
2. Consider using a beach theme for your wedding. A beach wedding theme is a benefit for both bride and bridesmaids. The bride can choose a summer dress, even for a fall wedding, and the bridesmaids dresses are much cheaper. Even better have a flowered sundress style and the bridesmaids will be able to wear the dress over and over.
3. Staying on the "themes" idea, if you're planning a vintage 1920s style wedding, your bridesmaids can pick up flapper dresses for as little as $25 at the costume shops. Think costumes will look cheap? Check below for some great pictures of dresses and you'll find out they can be very pretty.
4. Check online for used bridesmaid dresses. Amazon.com has tons of them. Ebay is another site with inexpensive bridesmaid dresses and used dresses.
5. Women's dresses are just as beautiful as those designed especially for "bridesmaid" dresses. Check the misses sections of your local department stores. Check their sales rack and you may find some surprises. Left over prom dresses can be found hiding in very unique spots.
6. If you have smaller bridesmaids, size 10 and lower, you can find some great dresses in the junior section of department stores. Young girls have more choices for dresses which can be worn to a special occasion and then worn on an everyday basis.
7. Skirts and tops can be interchanged with other outfits. Having an outfit which you can later dress up or down with other pieces is very economical.
8. While beading and embroidery may seem like a good choice, keep in mind that dresses which are bought for only a formal occasion are usually only wearable at formal functions. Stick with plain colors and neutral tones, and your bridesmaids will be grateful for dresses which are a little dressy but not too formal to wear on date nights.
9. Taffeta is a beautiful material, and not too expensive, but its also distinctively formal. Chiffon, while beautiful and formal, can be worn to semi-formal parties. Don't be afraid of cotton and polyester for the dresses.
10. Plus size women's dresses are a little more expensive than regular sizes, that's usually no different for bridesmaid dresses. Have your plus sized bridesmaid in mind when you choose the dresses.
11. Offer to foot the bill for the dresses in exchange for some of the wedding planning. Wedding planners can cost as much as $3,000, a few hundred dollars on bridesmaid dresses for a group of women that will have your best interest, and tastes, in mind when they find caterers, events centers, menus etc, for your wedding day.

Try and shop online at different places. Amazon is a great place to find dresses because different shops place their sale items there. Even Target and Macy's have dresses listed on Amazon's site. Here are some dresses which are all below $100.

Summer women's dresses have such glorious colors I find it impossible not to love them. The 1950s had such great dresses with big twirly skirts and halter necks. Almost makes you want to be Bettie Page.

What is so special about sundresses that make them sexy and fun? Its not just that they show more skin, its more than that. Perhaps its the flirty way they skirt the thigh or leg. My opinion is the sundress is just lightweight, so a woman walks lighter, her skirt sways more, and yes.. the extra skin helps.

So today's sundress article is about how to show off a sundress in style, for any body type.

Big girls, like me, are the easiest to start with. Finding a women's dresses in our size is difficult enough, but couple that with the fact that most designers seem to think size two is the only dress group to wear hot clothes, and its a tough world. However, the trend is changing. The growing population worldwide is a larger figure, and not for the first time in history, as some would have you think. Someone should remind the fat police that Botticelli women's dresses weren't made for a size 2 (of course they didn't wear dresses, but that is besides the point!). So, back on subject, check Lane Bryant's summer dresses and of course Avenue has beautiful clothes in summer styles. If you're fuller on the bottom, you'll want to accent the top part, this means flowing skirt in soft, think fabrics (nothing heavy down around the butt please), and halter tops with bare shoulders.

If you are self conscious about your upper arms, don't be afraid to add a lightweight summer bolero to your sundress. Jackets can spice up any dress. Throw on some bracelets to draw attention away from your upper body. On that note if you have great gams, wear a shorter dress and that'll really throw attention away from your arms!

For us girls not graced with the larger chests and small waists, ruffles add femininity and a little extra oomph. Tight belted waists will pull in your figure. Hot big polka dots or vertical stripes in smaller areas can add the appearance of a larger...bust. (you thought I was gonna say boobs didn't you!?). A small or wide ribbon under the bust area will also give the appearance of extra bosom.

The shorter you are, the shorter your dress should go. Stay with dresses at or above the knee if you're petite. Heeled wedge shoes can be worn with longer dresses.

Longer dresses can hide a few things, like that you haven't shaved your legs. =). Avoid heavy fabrics, stick with lighter gauzy material.

If your figure is fuller all over, prints are the name of the game. Stay far far away from horizontal stripes, but vertical stripes are quite slimming. Heavy dresses add bulk, stay with lighter fabrics. Straight dresses which don't cling, but also doesn't have fuller skirts, can hide figure imperfections. If you choose a tighter belt, you'll want a dress that doesn't gather causing more bulk around the hips.

Larger upper body? Try v-neck dresses and capped sleeves. Rounded necklines can make the upper body rounder, while a v will give length to the chest area. No ruffles, or embroidery on top, but go nuts on the lower half!

Thinner figures should look for ruffles and big prints. Wide belts will widen the waist, but fuller skirts will push the waist in and add width to the hips.
