Till recently, dropping $200 on a bridesmaid dress you probably would never wear again felt like the fate of any woman in her friend's wedding party. Fortunately, retailers have wised up to the age-old dilemma and helped to reinvent the bridesmaid dress game [1] with affordable options you might actually wear beyond the big day. That's exactly what Forever 21's up to with their new collaboration, which tapped designer Rory Beca to created a pretty capsule of dresses that ring in between $68-$78 and flatter all body types. A glance at the lineup, available May 8, and you'll know all the makings of a great bridesmaid's dress are there — elegant silhouettes and a soft color palette — for a lot less than you're used to. Read on for a first glimpse of the collection, then go ahead and do all your girls a solid and pass it along to all the brides-to-be out there.
