How do I take measurements for a bridesmaid dress?
You'll need to measure your bust, hips, and waist. It's also good to know how tall you are and what shoes you plan to wear to properly measure dress length. (We offer extra length on select dress styles, so check out the "extra length" option if you're tall!)
Many of our dresses are available in sizes 0 to 30W, with specialty sizing for all body types. Our dresses run true to size, so you can have confidence when ordering. However, for best results, it's a good idea to still take measurements. Follow these steps to measure yourself for a bridesmaid dress:

However, for best results, it's a good idea to still take measurements. Follow these steps to measure yourself for a bridesmaid dress:
- Get a flexible measuring tape for the most accurate results. If you don't have one, use a string that you can measure against a metal tape measure or ruler.
- Put on the bra, underwear, or shapewear you plan to wear with your dress.
- As you measure, make sure the measuring tape is level with the floor and isn't too tight or too loose.
- Measure the fullest part of your bust.
- Measure the smallest part of your waist.
- Measure the widest part of your hips.
- Measure yourself from collarbone to floor to determine your dress length.
- Take your measurements and compare them to the sizing chart of the bridesmaid dress you want to wear.
Are there options for budget-savvy bridesmaids?
Yes! David's Bridal bridesmaid dresses begin at $59.95, with hundreds of beautiful styles under $100. We believe every bridesmaid should be able to find a dress that fits her budget without compromising on style, quality, or beauty.
How much is the average bridesmaids dress?
At David's Bridal, discover styles for less than the average cost of bridesmaid dresses. Fall in love with dresses for the whole party starting at $99.95, with many gorgeous options available for under $150.
Does the bride pay for her bridesmaids dresses?
Traditionally, all bridesmaids pay for their dresses unless the bride has specifically mentioned that she wants to cover the cost. This varies by family and region, so it's best to discuss expectations early in the planning process.
Does the maid of honor wear a different dress than the bridesmaids?
Most of the time, the maid of honor wears the same dress as the bridesmaids for a cohesive look. However, it's not uncommon for the maid of honor to wear something special that sets her apart, like a different color, unique jewelry, or a complementary style that coordinates with the bridesmaid dresses.
What dress style is most flattering for all body types?
A-line bridesmaid dresses are universally flattering with their fitted bodices and gradually flared skirts. However, the most flattering dress is the one that makes each bridesmaid feel confident and beautiful! We offer hundreds of styles in our comprehensive size range so every member of your wedding party can find their perfect fit and silhouette.
What is the most popular bridesmaid dress color?
The most popular bridesmaid dress color is Wine, but other trending colors include Cinnamon, Juniper, Dusty Sage, and classic Black. Green is particularly trending, specifically shades like Martini Olive, Gem, and Eucalyptus. Sage green and dusty blue are also extremely popular choices for modern weddings.
How do I order color swatches?
Getting color swatches is easy and convenient with David's Bridal! Head to our color swatches page to place your order. We also offer free fabric swatches through our Generation Tux partnership for coordinating menswear colors.
When should you pick bridesmaid dresses?
The best time to order bridesmaids dresses is six months before the wedding. This will give enough time for special orders, shipping, and any alterations that may need to be done. For ready-to-ship styles, you can order closer to your wedding date.
What neckline or straps should bridesmaids wear?
If the bride is after a uniform look, all bridesmaids would wear the same neckline, but if the choice is up to each member, they might choose a style that they feel their best in. Cap sleeves and off-the-shoulder sleeves are popular favorites, but spaghetti straps are the most worn among bridesmaids today. Consider the venue, season, and overall wedding theme when choosing necklines.
