    I just went to a priscilla of boston sample sale and picked up two dresses for my bridesmaids ( I have 7 lol). They were originally $250 and I got them for $50 each. All the girls would have to pay for are alterations. They are both size 6 and they can be sized down to 2. What do you guys think? (Please ignore my disgusting hair and non make up). Woud you like this if you were a bridesmaid? I said they could wear whatever red dress they wanted but I figured someone might like these. I wouldn't even ask for the $50 back.

    I like the first one the best just cuz I don't have the body for the second one lol but both are cute.

    I wonder if a sash would look good on the second one...

    Good golly you are adorable!  I think if you paid for the dress they should wear it whether they would have chosen it off the rack or not... but glad you got two takers!!

    I love them both but I would prefer the second with the wider straps.

    Not sure what I'd be more psyched about, the dress itself (they're both cute) or the fact that you paid for it! Way to go, great deal!

    I can't believe everyone likes the second one. I personally think the first one is far better :)

    I love both! If I were a BM I'd probably choose the first one because I like the flare, but both are totally cute. great find!

    I really love the dresses!

     Maybe I miss read your post, but will all of the girls fit in the size 6's?? A 6 in Priscilla of Boston is more like a 4. I have seven bridesmaids too, but they range in sizes all the way from a size 0 up to an 18!!

     

    Other than that, I think they are awesome! I just hope you don't put anyone in a weird position because the dress won't fit!

     Size 6 would definately fit everyone. I'm holding the dresses back so they look a little weird but I'm sure once altered they will look great.

    As a matter of personal taste, I like the second one and as a bridesmaid would wear whatever the bride wanted!

    It's very considerate and generous of you to pay for your bridesmaid's dresses. Kudos!

    FR you did amazing!  Those are both cute dresses!  Awesome sale spotting girl!  i think they'd be pleased with either dress, but maybe the dress chosen should be the style most flattering to the individual bm body type!

    Kudos to you for being such a loving bride and looking out after your friends so well!
