    Okay ladies help me out! I have searched high and low for bridesmaid dresses, I am 7 weeks away from the wedding and we have nothing.

    Here is some background info: Looking for two dresses (sz 10 or 12) in the off-white, pewter, champagne color scheme. They can be strapless, halter or tank, and tea length or cocktail length. I want them to be light and possibly flowy and not so formal and I don't really want that bridesmaid dress look neccessarily. Gosh, I am picky huh?!?

    I am having a beach wedding at the end of May in Florida. I have looked at the following sites: JCrew, Anthropologie, Ann Taylor and LOFT, Overstock, Macy's, Dillards, Nordstroms, Chadwicks's, Newport News, Victorias Secret, White House Black Market, Chicos, Spiegel and Dresses.com

    Your help is sooo appreciated!

    Yikes.  If you've looked at all those places and haven't found anything I don't know what to tell you- other than maybe to relax your standards?

    Have you found dresses that were close?  Could you make them work?  Maybe by hemming them, embellishing them (wiith a brooch or sash or something), could you dress them up with a nice shoe or dress them down with a nice sandal?

    Bonnie- I just clicked over to Nordstroms and it seems like a lot of the flowy dresses are long- as I mentioned before, can you find one you like and just hem it?

    Macy's had some champagne cocktail dresses there about a month ago. Suzi Chin or something like that. Look online, although I'm sure you have. *sigh*. Try ebay as a last resort. Ok, here I did some looking...Not sure what your style is....but here are some ideas. They all came out with new stuff recently.

    Just some ideas! You're getting too close to be picky. Personaly, i love that long gray one, and even though it's long, it scrreams flowy beachy to me. You could hem it, too. Good luck. nordstroms and dillards all have new stuff out...you'll just have to roll wtih it

    Maybe you already considered this, but it seems perfect:

    Comes in 10 and 12, and in the color light pewter.
