Hi ladies!

With the help of some wonderful bee’s I think I’ve picked my bridesmaids dresses!   It will be either:

http://www.dessy.com/dresses/bridesmaid/D448

or

http://www.dessy.com/dresses/bridesmaid/D440

They’re the same dress, just different fabric.  Either peau de soie or dupioni.   If any of you have pictures of these fabrics in the alfred sung dresses I would greatly appreciate seeing them (make sure to tell me which is which!).  It doensn’t need to be the dress I’ve picked out but I’d like to be able to see the difference in fabrics in photographs.  If any of you have pictures of these in the pink colors that’d be even more fabulous (I’m thinking papaya or strawberry).

I would prefer a fabric that looks close to cotton.  I HATE “shiny” fabric.  I don’t like silky silks, or iridescent shimmery fabric. 

Do you think either of these fabrics could work??  Thanks so much girls! 🙂

oh ps, this is my dress :http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Strapless-Shantung-Taffeta-Sweetheart-Ball-Gown-T3039_Bridal-Gowns-Shop-By-Designer-Galina, which is even more reason I want a plain bridesmaid dress fabric because my dress is very simple.  🙂

Have you gone to a retailer to see these fabrics in person? That seems like the easiest solution to me.

A second idea is to purchase the swatches. For $30 you get four 5×7 swatches you can see and feel.

@emilyekk: I’ve tried on Alfred Sung in both fabrics. I think peau de soie is closest to cotton, but easily wrinkles. The dupioni has a nice look to it, but there is a sheen.

My BMs considered the Alfred Sung with a sweetheart neckline, I forget which one it was, but here’s a photo of it in the dupioni (definitely has a shine to it):

I used the dupioni scoop neck style.  It was definitely a little shiny.

Does anyone else have any pictures? I am trying to decide between these fabrics.. I am also wondering whether they wrinkle easily.
