The cost of the bride's and bridesmaid's dresses has traditionally been borne by the father of the bride. Nowadays, especially where a girl has a job of her own, she will pay for the dress herself, in whole or in part. Modern bridesmaids also tend to pay for their own dresses more, but if these are particularly elaborate or costly, then the bride or her father should make a contribution towards the cost.
