"Less than two years out of college&amp;amp;#8212;when I was making, um, not a lot of money&amp;amp;#8212;I was a bridesmaid in an old friend&amp;amp;#8217;s wedding. The dress she picked for us?At least I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never had to wear anything as insane as this sassy little number! A $400 number from Lazaro. FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS! Plus, the cost of alterations. Yes, the dress was beautifully made, but that didn&amp;amp;#8217;t really matter, seeing as it would only get worn once. And, at the time, there were a few other things I could have put $400 toward. Like, say, rent. Several years later, for an equally dear friend, I would buy the close second: a $390 get-up from Vera Wang. Every other time, the dress has been less than $200, which doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t really throw me off at this point, since I&amp;amp;#8217;d be okay with buying a $200 dress for myself. But spending twice that&amp;amp;#8212;two times&amp;amp;#8212;on dresses that were each only worn once kind of stung. What&amp;amp;#8217;s the most expensive bridesmaid dress you&amp;amp;#8217;ve had to buy? Have you ever passed on being a bridesmaid &amp;amp;#8217;cause the dress was too pricey?
