Personal Shopper: A non-hideous, hot pink, floor length bridesmaid dress for Justine

Justine writes: "Dear Outblush, I am the Maid of Honor in a wedding that is being thrown together rather quickly. The wedding is in October and I am in need of a full length hot pink dress. I don't have a lot to spend and after hours of online shopping I have come up with nothing. I'm tired of bridesmaid dresses being hideous! Please help me out. I am the only bridesmaid. I won't have others to balance out the bad dress decision :) I can spend $100-200. Thanks again! -Justine"

Hi Justine! I'm Found of You. This was tough! There are some cute hot pink maxi dresses out there, but many of them are too casual, and then once you get into more formal terrain they become tacky very fast. I found four that might work (two of which look exactly the same :/), and one (#4) that I included in case you want to go crazy and not-so-subtly punish the bride for giving you such a difficult wardrobe assignment.

1 - FP ONE Silk Chiffon Pele Dress ($100)
2 - La Femme Strapless Dress ($149)
3 - Laundry by Shelli Segal Gown ($120)
4 - Linda Dresses Chic Ball Gown ($180)
5 - Aqua Encom Twist Bandeau Maxi Dress ($129)

LOL @ "and one (#4) that I included in case you want to go crazy and not-so-subtly punish the bride for giving you such a difficult wardrobe assignment"

I have the short purple version of #3 and I love it! Although, be careful on me the dress shows a lot of cleavage (which may or may not be a good thing at a wedding).
