We know we don't need to tell you twice that weddings are expensive. Showers, parties, gifts, travel—it all piles up very quickly. Nothing adds insult to injury like when a bride chooses a super-lavish dress for her bridesmaids (no matter how beautiful!)—so if your nuptials are on the horizon, perhaps consider a more affordable route.
There are plenty of under-$200 options on the market that only look like they cost a fortune. Plus, if chosen correctly, people just might actually wear them again. Here we rounded up 15 of our favorite bridesmaid dresses that won't cost you an arm and a leg.
