I am trying to decide on dresses for my bridal party and I was hoping that you ladies would have some advice. I am having a difficult time finding something that works but I feel like I keep looking in the same 5 places.
There are only 11 weeks until the wedding so if we order typical dresses we will have to put a rush on them so while this is a doable option I would rather find something off the rack.
I am looking for something knee length or tea length in navy blue, preferably strapless. I don't mind having three different dresses or even 2 and 1. I would prefer to keep it under $150 each before alterations.
Of course all three girls have very different body shapes-- actually, as I think about it, they hit the three big ones, apple, pear and hourglass. Except the hourglass of the group is like a 34DD... so deep v's tend not to work too well since she has to go up several sizes and then alter the rest of the dress down in those instances.
i went with my bm's to zara this past weekend. we picked out a variation of a black shirt dress with a slightly poofy skirt. They loved it and it was about $130. If there is no Zara near you, i would try H&M, Loehmann's, Macy's or Nordstroms. We even checked out Forever 21, but it was a bit too young. Oyea, and we even found a contender at Banana Republic, but we thought the Zara one was cuter.
Ann Taylor! I'm in a wedding next month and we got our dresses online (free shipping and returns!) and they were on clearance for like 55 bucks. http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/department.jsp?N=1200042&categoryId=193 Go to the sale section, because they'll be cheaper. Just make sure you order them all together, because if they run out of a style in between orders, you'll be stuck.
hey there! I purchased my BM dresses at Forever21. They also have a website. The dresses are totally cute! 24 bucks each. ive even seen sum dresses for 12 bucks. i might purchase that for them for the morning reception... lets just see how generous i feel in a couple of months. hee hee
You have to check out JCrew wedding line. There are some goregous dresses in Navy and a ton of different styles. They make me want to change my colors they are so cute!
I got mine through Jcrew and they were inexpensive and very easy to work with since you can return sizes that don't work to the store.
