While I DO like the color, and the price is amazing, Forever 21's quality can vary. I understand that people may only wear a BM dress once, but some things from Forever 21 I've gotten have started falling apart within the 15 minutes I started wearing it. Literally. I am also not a fan of how loose the dress is, I think a little structure would be nice.
I do agree the color is gorgeous though, and I love the tie back and collar detailing, just not crazy about the lack of structure and skeptical of Forever 21's quality. Good luck!
I agree with @pearberry regarding both the shape and quality. I have a cardigan I bought at F21 a few weeks ago and it was ripped the first time I wore it. And while the color of the dress is beautiful, I don't think the shape will be flattering on anyone. As a bridesmaid, I'd personally prefer to wear a dress that flatters even if it costs a little bit more.
I would absolutely despise these if I were a bridesmaid... I'm sorry =/ I mean, it looks like a sac and it's not even flattering on a model... Plus the detail on the hem isn't country looking at all. I'd GLADLY pay more money to wear something more flattering on me
@Pearberry: You're right about F21's quality. It can be pretty hit or miss =\ My best friend/MOH is going to see if they have it in stock in a store near her, so maybe she'll be able to be a better judge on the quality.
I'm not sure about how I feel about the shape of the dress. Part of me likes that it isn't form fitting because my wedding dress is a very form fitting fit and flare dress, so the contrast might be nice. But I definitely don't want my MOH looking frumpy haha.
@pinkshoes : My best friend said she thought it kind of looked like a nightgown too...
@Cory_loves_this_girl: It's extremely frumpy! Please don't make them wear it. It doesn't need to contrast your dress in shape. It will be short and a different color and just completely un-bridesy. I didn't even consider them "contrasting" my dress when I picked out my bridesmaid dresses. Any other dress is clearly not a wedding dress, and they should feel pretty too. =/ I hate when brides try to put their maids in ugly dresses to try and make themselves look better. It's just mean. I'm not sure if that's your motive or not; I'm just saying... lol
Sorry I have to agree with PP. It's shapeless and unflattering :/
It definitely has slip qualities, and is more suited for a night on the town. I think with boots, you need a dress with a little more structure, or at least a defined waistline...boots have tendency to make people look stockier, so at least give them some shape!
@yanamari: Yeah I definitely am not trying to make them look ugly! I wouldn't suggest a dress if I wouldn't want to wear it myself. I think it looks cute on the model, but maybe I'm just crazy?
In a different color it might not be so sleepwearish, but with your color choice you're going to need more structure.
@Cory_loves_this_girl: ohh. Haha send them you your bridesmaids and see what they think maybe?
Might I suggest? This dress is available in the color salmon (looks like the color you posted). It looks more fitting to your theme, I think. And it would probably be flattering on more people. I don't know when your wedding is, though. It's a very spring/summer dress. Only $49.00 so not too bad of a jump in price.

The color is a little different,still similar, but the price is about the same and I think they'd look great with boots!
They're from eshakti.com my bridesmaids ordered from them and their dresses rock!

The theme of my wedding is going to be country rustic (burlap/lace, mason jars, etc.) and it's also going to be fairly casual. The groom and his groomsmen will be wearing nice jeans, cowboy boots, a nice shirt, and vest (most likely). Do you think this dress would work for a bridesmaid dress with cowboy boots? It's the color I'm looking for and the price is amazing.
