    Ok ladies, I'm looking for light grey bridesmaid dresses. I love the idea of a silk or chiffon material - I've been looking at Maggie London so something similar would work. Any suggestions on where to look? I'm trying to stick with a retail store (Macy's, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, JCrew, etc.) as opposed to a bridal store, I like the idea of the girls being able to wear them again. Help! :)

    Don't rule out BM dresses though!  Check out Dessy.  Amsale also has some silvery grey colors, though not in the chiffon material you're hoping for.

    Even if they're a little out of your budget or too 'bridal-y', Melissa Sweet has some AMAZING gray bridesmaid dresses. I love the dress on the right, I think I may just have to get it for myself...    So chic!

    Jcrew has some very pretty "light pewter" and "graphite" dresses right now that could work.

    http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WeddingParties/womens/w_bridesmaids/PRDOVR~98979/99101641905/98979.jsp

    is an example.   Just go to jcrew websites and click on weddings.  There are many in these colors.

    we're doing these in pewter:

    probably darker than you were thinking, but i think they're rewearable despite being a "bridesmaid" dress. oh, and the strange criss-cross in the mid-section (i'm not a fan) is because the model has the sash crossed in front of her. you can just tie it in back if you want.

    You probably already saw my gray dresses, but I'd also say check out JCrew like some people mentioned above.  Also, I saw a few at Nordstrom and Macy's when we were looking.

    I TOTALLY lucked out! I sent the girls some of the links you all had suggested and amazingly they all loved one of them so we're set! It's the one from JCrew: http://images.jcrew.com/erez4/cache/images_eiec_96_96454_96454_GY6529_tif_99f30b8d437418ae.jpg

    I can't believe it was that easy?! Now I just need to wait for a good coupon and we're in business! :) Thank you so much everyone!!

    @StarGazer: sometimes people post with coupon codes on the money board, but you should also check www.retailmenot.com & www.couponcabin.com

    Another JCrew dress for you to consider.  I think my sister is considering this for her bridesmaids.  Good luck!

    This is EXACTLY what I am looking for!  Grey chiffon bridesmaids dresses!  Let me know what you end up going with?  Also, are you planning on having them all in the same dress, or different dresses?

    Yay for this thread! I was thinking about this in the car earlier. :) I'm having a hard time deciding between little black dresses or little gray dresses. It's not quite as easy to find LGDs as LBDs, so this is muy helpful.
