Bridemaid dress shops

scrpio421

Ok, so I have four bridemaids and two of them are out of town. So I'm trying to organize shopping for dresses on the weekend when one of the girls happens to be flying in town for a business trip. The problem is that we can only do it on Saturday night or Sunday. I wanted to go to Marry and Tux, but it won't work with their hours.
So my question is does anyone have any suggestions for stores for bridemaid dresses? I only have one shot and then she flies back probably till my shower if not the wedding. Any help is appreciated...

Try making an appointment. Most places make different hours for appointments. Just a thought

I wasn't able to go shopping with my bridesmaids... I'm in NH, my MOH is in Alabama, my 2 sisters are in New York and my other BM is on the cape... one of my sisters was with me when I got my dress (the week after christmas) and she picked out 2 style she liked. I picked the one I liked better and the color. I told the other 3 girls to pick any style by that company, as long as it was long and satin -- so they were all the same material. It worked out great for us, they all went to a store that was near them to try styles and get measured and then I ordered them all here. The dresses came in the week before my shower so I picked them all up and all the girls were there to get them.  They all got a style that works for them, that they feel comfortable in... I did get them and my dress, at Marry and Tux -- Stephanie was awesome!!!!

I don't know your bridesmaids, but for me, it was helpful to 'scout out' the stores ahead of time with just my mom and sister/moh.  This way, we didn't waste everyone's time going to stores and not finding anything- it helped narrow down the stores I asked everyone to visit with me. 

Originally fi's sister, who is a plus size, was going to be a BM.  It was very important to me that she be able to try things on, and in many places, plus sized BM dresses are very slim pickings.  

I ended up finding a few dresses that I loved at David's Bridal, and so we all went there.  They had every color in different dresses, so even if it wasn't 'my' colors in the dress, I could see what the color looked like, and they carry each style in almost every size, so everyone could try things on.
