Now that the shoe is on the other foot, she doesn't seem to care which dress I like, and only cares that the dress is cheap in price. I understand that she wants to keep the cost down for the other attendant, but the dress I like is not an expensive dress. I don't want to be a pain and say that I should get to choose my dress because she chose hers....but that's partially the truth.
Is there a nice way to say that I don't want to wear the dress she chose, without making it seem like I'm being picky because she was? Thanks!

Well, I'm not sure what the proper wedding etiquette is, but I say that you should follow that. If it is truly up to the bride, then put on whatever she likes, walk down the aisle, and be happy for her special moment. If it is up to the bride's maids, then tell her what you would prefer and why (better cut, color, material), etc. and go forth w/that.
However, it's a little weak to say "well I let you pick, so now you have to let me pick" esp. at her wedding. If you felt that she was too picky at your wedding, then you should have addressed that then. If you wanted her to wear something different at your wedding, then you should have insisted on that. If you didn't, then too bad. It's over and done with. Even if you just wanted her to wear whatever would make her most happy on your day, then that was your choice. It has nothing to do w/her and what she has to do on her day. You cant pull it out of the closet to throw back in her face now.
