Personally, I'd get a kick out of wearing a $150 dress if I could find one I liked. That dress number 2, for brides, looks pretty nice in the photo at least.

They also had a separate catalogue for bridal for a long time (which I also perused and pictured myself in the dresses). When my sis got married in '88, my dress was from Penney's, as their delivery jived with the 6 week wedding planning (after a four year engagement, they decide to get hitched in 6 weeks...and no she wasn't pregnant). Oddly enough, we were at Goodwill this summer and they had a dress just like it on the rack. My sister and I had a good chuckle over it.

It was the first thing I'd turn to when we got the catalog, and it was also a handy source of inspiration for future prom dresses. But I grew up in a hick town in a pre-internet era!

So we went the JC Penney routh. They managed to somehow all buy DIFFERENT dresses, in slightly different shades of blue, but the overall effect was lovely.

I remember looking at the pictures in the catalogue and dreaming about my wedding day when I was a little girl. They've always been more about budget than big dreams, but they've had them since at least the late 1960's. JC Penny has carried bridal/bridesmaids dresses for decades.
