I love the color of the second one. I think it already looks dressy, but if it's not as formal as you like, nice shoes and a necklace or fancy earrings could do the trick.
I think dress #2 is very formal...and beautiful! great choice.
I like #2. I think both the color and the style are more elegant. I think with some nice jewelry it'll be lovely!
I absolutely love number 2. I don't think it needs much work at all to make it look formal. Add a gorgeous pair of heels, either some nice chandelier earrings or a statement necklace and a nice cuff or bracelet and I think it will look absolutely stunning. I personally think it is much more flattering and formal looking than the Clavin Klein.
I love that Shelli Segal dress. It looks so regal!
Yes def #2! I think it can be formal with the right shoes and accesories. The color definitely plays up the formality of it too. Great color!
second one is way better and actually to me looks dressy in of itself....
I would be happy to wear #2 with a statement necklace. I think it looks dressy enough unless you are having a formal wedding.
DEF #2 especially if it's the perfect color you wanted!
I'm a firm believer that shoes make the outfit! So just request that they work a pair of "fancier" shoes. :)
I think the vote is in: overwhelmingly the Shelli Segal... it's so pretty and the purple is so deep. I think it has a bit more oomph than the other dress. I think you can get your girls to work it with some awesome jewelry. Maybe some sparkley chandeliere earrings and a blingin' bracelet?
I agree I love the color of #2.
I think you can dress it up with maybe a big necklace a fancy updo and some nice shoes!
I like the Calvin Kline one as I think it might look more flattering, being more fitted. The other dress is a lot looser which always makes me look like I'm pregnant.
thanks for all the input!!!
it turns out that the dresses don't look as great on my MOH as we had hoped
I don't think the second dress is too informal at all - it's silk. pair it with some good heels and you've got yourself a great bridesmaid dress. Both dresses are cute, but if the second is the color you're going for, I say go for it!
OMG I have a dress by Laundry from Nordstrom and I looooooooove it! I wore it this past November to my FH Marine Corps Ball. It's soooo elegant and the fabric feels amazing!! I like that one you have on here too! The color is so pretty too. However, are your BM's ok with spending a lot of money on it? My dress was very expensive almost $500.

I've been on a hunt for purple dresses for my bridesmaids! Here are two that I found at a local store that had the sizes I needed... so I bought them for now while I decide which to keep (if any)!
Calvin Klein Dress

I like how the neckline looks on this one, but the shade of purple is a little brighter than I was hoping for.
Laundry by Shelli Segal Dress

This is the perfect color/shade that I was looking for! It's pretty in person and feels luxurious (since it's 100% silk). The problem is that it seems to need some work to look more dressed up (maybe with the right pair of shoes, or altering the dress by adding a halter strap).
Thoughts?
