Anyone feel like helping me find a pastel pink bridesmaid dress on the semi-cheap

[musey]

A friend of mine asked for help finding a BM dress. Here are the requirements:
- Pastel pink
- Under $100

... and preferably:
-Short
-Short-sleeved or halter


I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!

Oh, and it''s for a summer wedding, whatever that means to you about style and fabric type

Is this just for your friend (as a bridesmaid), or for all the women in her bridal party (if she''s the bride)?

Oops should have mentioned, just for her. They''re each picking their own, they just have to be in generally the same color

It would be a lot easier if she wanted strapless

I''ve found a few cute ones, but they''re all strapless. Boo.

Nordstrom is a no go.

PS - Is it just me or are their dresses shrinking?!

No kidding! Pale pink halter gowns aren't easy to find this season.

This one by Alfred Angelo (in Pink or Tea Rose) comes close to meeting all of her requirements, and I bet she could get even closer to $100 by going through Pearl's Place.

Dillards, Newport News are both no-gos as well. So is Ann Taylor

I''d try Lord and Taylor and Macy''s next.

She doesn''t happen to be a size 8, does she?

This one is cute.

This might be the girliest dress I've ever seen!

ETA: It's out of stock, never mind!

[sunnyd]

Cute.

 

[musey]

Thank you all so much for looking for me! I can''t believe how hard it is to meet her requirements, I wouldn''t have thought it would be so hard!

No I don''t think so, she''s probably a 2 or 4.

If she''s got 8 weeks, I''d say Jasmine B2 line. That''s what my MOH got and it was quite nice. It was originally very affordable too (before she spent rush charges on it cause she delayed ordering it) and you can get it from netbride, who will price match.

Wow. That reminds me of a Barbie dress for some reason. Maybe it''s the color!

ETA: I like the idea of your friend getting to pick out her own dress. Much better than getting stuck in a long brown dress for a May wedding (coughmecough)

Ooh cute! She does have 8 weeks, 10 actually, so this could totally work. Thanks!!

How about fire engine red & white floor-length satin for a morning wedding in mid-March?

I did not forget about that either! Keep reminding your friend how lucky she is!

Thank you all again for looking! I sent her all the links you found, and I think she''s currently planning to get this one:

Cute.

I still can''t believe there''s such a shortage of pastel pink dresses right now! Especially with a $100 limit. Sheesh.

This one isn''t short-sleeved or halter but it does have straps.
