My bridesmaids have already bought their dresses, do I have to pay for them if I call off the wedding?

There's a couple of things when it comes to bridesmaids, depending on when you call off your wedding. Let's say you have a nine month engagement and you call off your wedding six months before the wedding. You probably don't have bridesmaids dress yet, you know what I mean? You may not have a lot of things yet. You may not have booked vendors, but don't have actual physical items you have to return. If your bridesmaids already have their dresses, it is appropriate for you to say, would you like to keep the dress, or should I try to buy it back from you, or should I try to help you sell it. There's so many different avenues. Usually the girls will love the dress, maybe they'll want to keep it. Or maybe they'll dye it, or maybe as a group they can post it on a Craigslist or an Ebay and say, we have five bridesmaid dresses in these sizes, can anyone take them off our hands?
