The mother of the bride is suppose to proudly represent her daughter on her special wedding day. It should never be a problem for the mother of the bride to buy a dress suited for the wedding. Some wedding shops or rental wedding shops will rent out dresses for the mother of the bride which would cost less.
Bridesmaid dresses can range from $99 to upwards of $400. The price can be effected by factors like size, intricacy and number of colors used.
The value of the dresses will be a thing of concern only to the two women involved. No one else will be pondering it, unless some very large extremes are gone to. As to the propriety of it, there is nothing wrong with the mother dressing in her best, so long as the dress does not obviously outshine the bride, or otherwise draw attention from her. It is "the Bride's day", after all. On the other hand, mothers are as mothers are, and informally speaking, many weddings have become the "mother's day". This is where the mother - no doubt upset about her own mother upstaging her wedding in the past - chooses to pass on the favor to her daughter. The daughter may then do the same to her daughter. Frankly, this is not polite or appropriate, and the cycle should be broken.

i would say that it would be primarily the responsibility of the bride, but hopefully, the groom will offer to cover the expense. why did the groom call off the wedding? that makes the biggest difference in the answer. did he fall in love with someone else? did the bride cheat on him? all these reasons are something to look at. Since the bride asked her friends and family to be bridesmaids, i would think the right thing to do would be to pay for the dresses, to cover the expense, and hopefully the bride and groom can work out the financial issue together privately.
