Hello ladies, I need some help with a couple things...
1. My wedding dress is silk crepe, form fitting, and not at all forgiving, even though I'm fairly slim. There is no tulle or anything like that and only one under-layer. I plan on toning up for the wedding and have been working out regularly, but I still would like to wear some sort of shapewear because many of us have those lady lumps...
I purchased an awesome pair of long shorts by Spanx but even with the "seamless" edge, you can see the line of where they end on my thigh when I have the dress on. I have been trying to find longer shorts, either the kind that go right to the knee or just under it, but all the ones I find do not have enough control. Most are like pantyhose, which won't cut it. I also can't have a high waist on them because my dress is backless.
Don't quote me on this, but I believe these are the ones I purchased...

Longer leg and not super high waist (can't be the kind that go up to the boobs).
2. I would really like my wedding colors to be "lilac gray" and silver, however, I'm having a REALLY hard time finding lilac gray dresses. See the pic for the color I'm talking about... My idea was to have 2 or 3 different color dresses for the girls, all with different styles but all long. The colors that I have seen so far are definitely not lilac gray. I've tried Azazie's Dusk but it has a lot more mauve in it. David's Bridal doesn't have anything even close. I just ordered a swatch for the Dusty Lilac from Weddington Way but am worried it don't be right either. (Just keeping my fingers crossed for now.) I also am very aware of the cost of most bridesmaid dresses and don't want my girls spending a fortune. I also don't want to order from a website that may not be reliable or good quality. Does anyone have any advice for this dilemma?
