Dear J.Crew,

Like many of the ladies over at Weddingbee, I've been a little frustrated by the J. Crew weddings collection. Yes, J. Crew is generally expensive. Yes, I only shop at their outlet- sale rack at that! But as far as bridesmaid dresses, theirs aren't all that costly. I love the idea of picking a color and letting your ladies pick their own style. My friends are all different shapes and sizes. They mean a lot to me, so I want them to feel beautiful standing next to me on my big day. Enter my issue...

Why are the cotton dresses so expensive? It's just cotton, J! Why are you doing this to me? The silk is nice and pretty- but only comes in as my second choice. The cotton styles are great because the can be dressed up for the wedding and down afterward for summer nights, dinner parties, etc.
