Who on here made bridesmaids buy their own dress?

To make your bridesmaids pay for anything for YOUR wedding is ridiculous. My husband & I just don't understand where this idea came from. We paid for all attire for everyone. If you can't afford it, don't have it. We only had 1 MOH and BM and everything was rented under our dime. We even paid for our fathers' rented suits. Our entire wedding & reception was $10K. If you are a true friend, you would pay for your bridal party's attire. If you can only afford $20 per person, pay for their attire. They will Thank You. Definitely if they are in several weddings in one season. It could be costly for someone just being their to help with your wedding. My sister is a bridesmaid for a girl and MY SISTER is paying over $800 herself to be a bridesmaid. She just lost her job and husband's job is in the line. This bridesmaid showed no compassion and doesn't realize how expensive everything has been for my sister. Please, all you brides, PAY for your own wedding and there will be no complaints from anyone!
