You may want to consider the brand of bridesmaid dresses I bought. I thought they were really beautiful and looked quite expensive considering how much they cost. Honestly, I liked them so much I wanted one for myself, and a couple of my bridesmaids have actually reused them.

That's actually the link to my dresses. Mine were floor length and turquoise. Just to give you an idea of how much the line runs, I think my bridal shop charged 132.00in late 2006.
In general, I would try to only take 1 or 2 bridesmaids with you. More and drama tends to happen. However, and this goes double if you don't know them well, I would ask if they have any special concerns with the dress. For instance, my moh (a redhead) vetoed fuschia, and another of my bridesmaids would have felt really uncomfortable showing cleavage. Even if every bridesmaid makes one request, it will probably be possible to honor all of them if you are picking one single dress.
