Bridesmaids Revisited

Vera Wang Maids
For better or worse, we've all been bridesmaids at one time in our lives—which often involves investing in a frumpy frock that occupies precious closet space. Now, finding a dress you'd actually want to wear is about to get a lot easier. Vera Wang Maids, a line of very un-bridemaid-y dresses (think plunging necklines and open-backs) will go e-commerce in April. The price tag, ranging from $250 to $360, is easier to swallow knowing you can re-wear to cocktails parties, other weddings, even a fancy dinner out. Tell me- what's the most you would pay for a bridesmaid dress?
