    Alright bees so some of you know that I am a victim of the Mori Lee lace dress heartbrake, that due to issues with production all Mori Lee lace dresses are no longer available in any colors other than Black, Ivory, or White.... My heart set on Navy Blue dresses for my fabulous maids.... and now less than 5 months to the big day I have been in a panic over what dress to replace the one all my maids loved......

    Here is a picture of the one we all loved but can no longer get 

    Except in Navy blue but you ladies get the idea now we have found so far 4 good replacement options at our bridal salon we can get 3 of them would be an even exchange no extra cost $$ one she discounted immensly but still not able to match the original price.... Here are the options

    1)

    This in Navy Satin with Black Lace Overlay

    2)

    This in all Navy Satin

    3)

    This in Navy Satin with black lace top

     

    4) This is the budget buster

    Navy Satin with Navy Lace overlay (only designer ive found that my store carries that has the navy lace) 

     

     

    Alright Bees let me know  what you think would be a great choice for the replacement BM Dress :)

    I'm torn between 1 and 3, but ultimately voted for 3 - it is so pretty, and will read more "Navy" than the dress with a black overlay over the whole thing.

    I like the allure, to me it would be more re-wearable then anything with lace

    Ok, crap. That's what I get for not reading the whole thing. I like the second to last one. That was one I actually looked at!

    @MissXray:  Love navy and orange! Mine are icy blue, blush, oyster and ivory. We are getting married in January and I wanted a wintery feel. To me, muted pastels are winter and I love the brown-pink hue (blush) that is so hot right now.

    @Coral99:  Right!!! Those are gorgeous for a winter wedding!!! I had always wanted a fall wedding but due to schedules spring/summer was the best time so I brought in Blue which is my fiances favorit color and my love of fall colors with orange (complimentary) and voila Navy & orange were born!!!!

    @MissXray:  #3!! You'll get the navy that you wanted, and with black lace on top? Beyond elegant. And personally, that's a dress I would keep and wear again and again. It's perfect for holiday parties and winter functions.

    @MissXray:  Is that your ring? And is that a cupcake disguised as an acorn?

    3. Lovely and more original than all lace overlay (and as some PP said, black lace over navy will look just black unless right next to them...)

    I chose 1 but I do also like 4. I love the lace look! So classic & pretty. (I am a little partial because my wedding dress is lace)

    I was torn between 1 & 3 but went with 3 b/c it looked more classy to me and less cutesy.

    I voted for #1 but I was torn between #1 and #3. Either would look great.

    I LOVE 1 & 3! FIrst pick would be 1 though. And I think it's closest to your original choice. I always think that navy is a flattering color on every skin tone so awesome choice!

    Love the wildcard!  Otherwise, #3.  I don't think #1 would look right.  Navy satin with black lace overlay?  It's going to end up looking black.  If you're okay with that, then I'd just get the Mori Lee lace dress you love in black and call it a day.

    Alright Bees, thanks so much again for all your help and opinions on what to do... my girls and I have made a descision on the winner.....................

     

     

     

     

                            #3 Is the Winner!!!!!!!!

     

        I am really excited this is the dress my lovely ladies decided to go with!! and even better my wonderful (and very pregnant MOH!!) was able to order the floor length version for only 20.00 more so she will have plenty of fabric to work with to make it the perfect dress for her!!!!! I love how all 4 of them agreed the winning factor was the fact it was the only dress with pockets.... LoL gotta love my ladies!!!

    I wanted to do the dress you chose for my bridesmaids, number 3, but my bridesmaids couldn't afford the dress :( We settled on an Alfred Sung number. The dress is amazing.

    @DeeVine1217:  Its After Six style 6644 - we ordered in there midnight navy blue satin with the black lace top! Thanks I just love it and excited for all my girls!!

     

     

    @alleycat1984:  I hear you when we first found it it was way out of budget but due to the order issue my bridal salon cut the price and matched what we paid for the original Mori Lee so my girls were really happy!!!
