    My sister picked out this apple green Vera Wang dress for her MOH dress (which we got for the incredible price of $25!!).  I don't know what the fabric is, but it is made out of acetate.

    I have one other bridesmaid, my sister-in-law.  She and my sis are so different that we never planned on having them wear the same dress, but I would like them to coordinate somehow.

    One issue to consider is that my sister-in-law has prominent tattoos on her ches that she wants to have covered.  I'm thinking a bataeu neckline might be best.

    What color/style do you think would coordinate best with this dress?  I'm probably going to have a seamstress make it so pretty much anything is possible.

    Right now the three ideas I have are another shade of green (with sashes/accents of the other maid's dress for each), brown with a green sash/accents, or dark ivory with a green sash/accents (my dress is light ivory).

    I think another shade of green would be pretty. People can have some strong reactions to brown (love or hate) - and if BM2 doesn't like brown, it would be sad to make her wear it.

    And I think that you should be the only one in ivory that day Smile

    A darker green in the same palatte would work great, and the style should compliment the BM and her body.

    Thanks for your suggestions!  I will talk to my sis and law and the rest of my "wedding committee" and see what they think!

    I think a darker green would look very pretty. Great dress, BTW!
