The Knot Editors' Picks: The 5 Best Bridesmaid Dress Websites

Ready to start shopping for bridesmaid dresses online? There are so many places to browse, but a few retailers stand out from the rest. The Knot Editors break down the very best bridesmaid dress websites, based on our own tried-and-true experiences.

Birdy Grey

"The beauty of Birdy Grey is their extensive selection of 170 styles, 112 colors and six fabrics, which makes finding a dress all your bridesmaids will love easy-peasy. I tried the Mia style in emerald matte satin, which is Birdy Grey's most popular fabric. It offers a subdued sheen and elegant movement that lets the bride truly stand out in photos while making bridesmaids feel effortlessly glamorous. The best part of this style is the subtle customization; for instance, the Mia can be worn with off-the-shoulder pleated straps, spaghetti straps, a combination of the options, or completely strapless. Because the top of the dress is beautifully corseted, I felt totally snatched and secure, even when wearing it as a shoulder-baring style.

Birdy Grey offers inclusive sizing from XXS to 3X. They purposefully make their dresses extra long to accommodate all heights, which means you will want to order well in advance to leave time for alterations. It's also worth noting that while Birdy Grey has some ready-to-ship styles and offers rush production for others, many dresses are made-to-order and can take up to eight weeks to ship so plan ahead." —Emily Rumsey, Associate Commerce Editor

Azazie

"There's a reason Azazie is one of the most recognizable bridesmaid dress brands. With thousands (yes, literally thousands) of styles at unbelievable prices, you'll find a bridesmaid dress fit for every wedding aesthetic, no matter how niche—from European garden party to neon tropical floral. Plus, with custom sizing available at no extra cost, it's easier than ever to buy a bridesmaid dress online that's perfectly tailored to you. When I was tasked with finding a look that fit a sunset-inspired color palette for a late-summer wedding, I knew I'd find the perfect bridesmaid dress at Azazie. The Aisha dress in tangerine offered the perfect pop of color, and I loved the trendy addition of a neck scarf." —Sarah Hanlon, Editor

Revelry

"I wore the Revelry Bowie Chiffon Dress in light lavender as a bridesmaid in a friend's October 2025 wedding, and I truly felt so pretty in this floaty little number. Her group of wedding attendants had a wide range of heights and body types, and the style and fit was a hit with the entire group. Before ordering my dress, I opted for the at-home try on, which is a must in my opinion. I ordered my typical size in the length recommended for my height (43") to test and found the dress ran large and long.

When it was time to order my dress for real, I chose the shortest length (40") and one size down, and found that this winning combo gave the dress the perfect ratio of fit and flow. Plus, it has enough light boning and structure to keep everything in place sans bra as well as a luxe lining and layers of chiffon that keep the skirt from being transparent (though you can still show a little leg, thanks to the slit). The shorter length also saved me the hassle of hemming—it was perfect for my 5'4" self wearing a one-inch kitten heel." —Cathryn Haight, Editor

• The vibe: Elegant, romantic, feminine
• Size range: 2XS-3XL
• Price level: Affordable to midrange
• Return window: Within 30 days of delivery
• Top perks: High-quality construction, made-to-order, home try-on program

"If you're looking for affordable bridesmaid dresses, convenient shipping and an abundance of trendy styles, Lulus is the one for you. The majority of their bridesmaid dresses are under $100, which was perfect for a bridesmaid on a budget like myself. Also, many of the Lulus dresses I've worn were true to size, and the perfect length for my short stature—who wouldn't love that?" —Chapelle Johnson, Associate Editor

"Meshki is one of my favorite places to shop for bridesmaid dresses online and every other occasion. The abundance of chic and of-the-moment styles makes me get lost in an endless scroll every time, and they're always dropping new looks, which makes it hard to stay away. The best part about Meshki is that the bridesmaid dresses don't look like your typical, only-wear-once designs, so you'll be able to wear it beyond the wedding weekend. Also, don't sleep on the brand's regular dress section—there are plenty of wedding-worthy frocks there too." —Chapelle Johnson, Associate Editor

• The vibe: Cool girl, of-the-moment, sleek
• Size range: 2XS-3XL
• Price level: Midrange
• Return window: Accepted for store credit
• Top perks: Fast shipping, quality construction, new styles released frequently

Petal & Pup

"Although I've never worn a Petal & Pup look explicitly as a bridesmaid dress, this online retailer is responsible for the majority of my wedding guest looks (some of which came from the "bridesmaid" edit). I'm always raving about the brand's reliable, fast shipping and quality designs. The selection is sure to impress with its of-the-moment styles and under-$100 price tags. From dresses with fun details like oversized bows and whimsical garden party prints to ultra-trendy gowns with neck scarves, there's something here for every wedding aesthetic. With easy shipping, returns and exchanges, plus a range of buy-now-pay-later options, getting a bridesmaid dress online at Petal & Pup is a no-brainer.

Show Me Your Mumu

"Show Me Your Mumu's bridesmaid dresses are actually repurposeful thanks to their modern styles. The luxe satin fabric feels thick and durable, plus there was zero static cling so it draped beautifully straight out of the bag. The Lisa Maxi Dress is their best-selling style in all colors, and it is easy to see why. My family genuinely gasped and praised how beautiful the dress is (and how amazing I looked in it, obviously). While I was obsessed with open back, the Bella Maxi Dress was my personal favorite out of the two. I loved the combination of chiffon and satin. I am right in-between sizes, but luckily Show Me Your Mumu offers free exchanges and standard shipping is one to three business days." —Emily Rumsey, Associate Commerce Editor

• The vibe: Luxe, whimsical, bohemian
• Size range: 2XS-2XL
• Price level: Midrange
• Return window: Within 30 days of delivery date
• Top perks: Fast standard shipping, simple exchanges, easy to re-wear

Reformation

"If you choose a dress from Reformation, you'll hear a legitimate sigh of relief from your 'maids. Whenever I want to look like the coolest girl at the party (aka: all the time), Reformation is a reliable go-to. They have a wide range of cuts and fabrics (all of which are a dream to steam to get rid of wrinkles) and some options available in extended sizing. And though they typically run pricier than the crepe options, I can't recommend their silk frocks enough, which somehow feel soft and breathable, yet don't get too rumpled after hours of wear. Case in point: Mine survived an outdoor wedding in Miami with a packed dance floor and an after-party juuuust fine." —Cathryn Haight, Editor

• The vibe: Stylish, trendy, "bridesmaid dresses that don't feel like bridesmaid dresses"
• Size range: XS-XL; 0-12
• Price level: Midrange to high
• Return window: Within 30 days of delivery date
• Top perks: Sustainable, easy to re-wear, modern patterns, cool-girl street cred

Hello Molly

"Hello Molly truly has a dress for every occasion, so it's no wonder their bridesmaid collection is so strong. Their full-length satin gowns come in gorgeous colors that look just as good in person as they do on screen. I'm partial to pink, but their best-selling yellow and fall-ready earth tones (think bronze and chocolate brown) are just as stunning. I found the satin surprisingly thick—ideal for opacity in pastel shades and for a seamless fit that hides imperfections regardless of undergarments. While the dress required steaming, the wrinkles released easily, and without any of the dreaded water spotting." —Emily Rumsey, Associate Commerce Editor

LulaKate

"I toured the LulaKate showroom in New York City and was blown away by the quality of the fabrics, of which there are six (ranging from shimmery jacquards to luxe shantung). While there are select ready-to-ship bridesmaid dresses available online, the experience is catered toward designing your look from scratch—and you can do that in the showroom or with a virtual appointment online. Shoppers have the option to hand-select every detail of the dress, from the neckline to the skirt style to the color and the fabric. The brand specializes in jacquard and floral bridesmaid dresses, and I was particularly blown away by the "Lily of the Valley" print in powder blue. As a passionate devotée of blue-and-white florals, I loved how that style in particular felt like an elevated take on the classic bridesmaid aesthetic. A LulaKate bridesmaid dress is ideal for the party in search of a designer dress at an attainable price point, and I highly recommend for groups that want a high-touch, interactive shopping experience." —Sarah Hanlon, Editor

• The vibe: Whimsical, girly, elegant, high-end look at an accessible price point
• Size range: 000-32; Custom sizing available
• Price level: Midrange to high
• Return window: Within 30 days of delivery date for ready-to-ship dresses (custom returns not accepted)
• Top perks: Tailored in-person showroom experience, complimentary swatches, made-to-order dresses designed to be customized

Adrianna Papell

"Adrianna Papell is a great option for brides who want their wedding party to feel polished without looking overly matchy-matchy. The brand has an enormous selection of silhouettes and fabrics, but what really stood out to me were the patterned dresses, which can be surprisingly hard to find done well. From intricate beading to soft chiffon prints, the collection feels more like special occasion wear than traditional bridesmaid dresses (hint: you could actually wear them again and no one would know). I also appreciated the construction: The strapless style I tried had hidden boning that actually kept the dress comfortably in place." —Kate Traverson, Senior Manager, Branded Content

• The vibe: Polished, elevated, sleek
• Size range: 0-20
• Price level: Affordable to midrange
• Return window: Within 30 days of delivery date
• Top perks: Standout prints, detailed beading, comfortable construction, good for mismatched bridal parties

EXCLUSIVE CODE: Use THEKNOT25 for $25 off any purchase of $100.

Tips for Shopping Bridesmaid Dresses Online

Determining where to get bridesmaid dresses is just one piece of the puzzle. To make shopping for online bridesmaid dresses as seamless as possible, there are a few other tips and tricks to keep in mind.

• Take your measurements and review size guides: If you're planning to attend a virtual or in-person styling appointment, have your measurements ready. Even if you aren't working with a consultant, bear in mind that bridesmaid sizes may differ from your regular dress size. Use our guide on how to measure for a dress at home. Carefully read the size guide on the site to make sure you're getting the correct fit.
• Purchase your dress six months in advance: When shopping for bridesmaid dresses online, gowns have the potential to sell out, especially during peak wedding season. To avoid buying a dress you're less than thrilled about, shop ahead of schedule. If you're wondering when to get your bridesmaid dress, start your search as early as possible. Plan to purchase at least six months in advance of the wedding date. If you're the bride, aim to select your dresses (or tell your crew what colors or patterns to buy) at least eight months in advance to give them ample time to order. You may need to factor in additional time for tailoring and alterations.
• Order swatches when possible: Many bridesmaid dress brands can send fabric swatches or dress samples for free or for a small fee. Take advantage of this perk, especially if you're trying to coordinate mismatched bridesmaid dresses. Seeing the fabric in person can make or break your decision when it comes to choosing the right bridesmaid dress. While this is more commonly done by brides, bridesmaids can also check out fabric swatches before purchasing to make sure your gown is *the one*.
