    Ok, everyone, I am in desperate need for advice & help on bridesmaid dresses! :) I have 5 bridesmaids ranging in size from 6 - 18. MrRiverRanch & I don't have a "wedding color" to go off of but have used beige, white, ivory, teal/green, and dusty rose for our wedding invitations thus far. Originally, I told all the girls to find any dress that is knee length and in beige that is a flowy chiffon romantic feel. So far, only one of the girls found a dress like this at a vintage shop. They are all telling me that there isn't anything out there in beige,tan,caramel color. I then resorted to the Juliet dress in Dusty Shale (matches our mason jars & part of the invitations) but now this dress is on sale & J Crew does not accept returns or exchanges on sale items. The girls want to try it on first obviously to make sure it ships, but we are in MN and the nearest store w/ these dresses in "stock" is Chicago, so that's not happening. Any suggestions for dresses? PS- They are all wearing brown cowboy boots and don't want to spend over $100. In fact, they all only want to spend like $50. I have scoured every website in the world it feels like to find something that would work.
    PS- Our wedding is outdoors on the banks of 2 rivers, Mr & I are riding up on horseback (but saying our I do's on the ground), most guests will be sitting on lace covered hay bales, birds & vintage theme (sort of), not too western but just enough touch of it. I grew up the daughter of a horse trainer so including the horses in our wedding was a must! Below is a pic of what the guys attire will look like, except their vests are a bit more of an antique brown in color vs wheat.

    That's the exact dress and color I was leaning towards for my vintage-y, rustic wedding.  I don't really have any other suggestions, but I'm keeping an eye on this thread for others' suggestions!

    They have a similar dress at David's Bridal, but not in that exact color. it looks as if it is on sale. It says it isn't available in stores, but I'm sure you could let your girls go get measured at your local David's Bridal, and try on similar dresses- and they would be advise you as to what size to order.

    I'm having a similar theme and we got our dresses (mine and MOHs) at J. Jill via www.jjill.com.  They have regular stores, usually at malls, that you can visit, as well.  They have a variety of sizes, including plus.

    You all have been a big help so far!! Thank you so much! I have always browsed weddingbee but haven't posted until now. Well keep your fingers crossed, I have one of the J Crew dresses shipping to my sister & it should arrive this Wednesday. I hope it fits her & she is comfortable because I am so in love with this dress!

    Have you looked on etsy? If you don't care that they all have the same dress, you may be able to find dresses for at least some of them on there. Just search under the category "vintage" then "clothing" then "dress" and input some of the colors you're looking for. I did a quick search and "tan" returned the most dresses out of beige, caramel, and tan.
