BM Dresses - Help!

theholograms · February 2012

Thought I had found the perfect dress...MOH didn't like it SO some suggestions on where to find BM dresses?

I've already looked: David's Bridal, JCrew, MoriLee, BariJay, Dessy

Thanks

She didn't like the back -

I'll include pictures so you can see (I personally like it and feel it would look good on many different body type). It is JCrew dress / matisse blue.

This isn't the color - but is the back of the dress

Yes! I posted this a couple days ago. All the other girls like it, she is literally the only one. The more I look at it, the more I like it (of course I know my dress and I feel like although it isn't similar, it compliments mine and the colors/flowers of the wedding). I was thinking of maybe adding ribbon/sash to give a waistline in the back. Ughhhhh

Just curious, but do all of the BMs besides your MOH like it? Because if the rest are cool with it, maybe do a majority thing or put her in a special MOH dress? The other line I seriously looked at was called pretty maids http://prettybridesmaids.com/ . I liked a lot of their styles and most of them come in any of their colors and fabrics, so you can get a similar feel to the dress you already picked out.

Have you looked at Ann Taylor http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/catalog/category.jsp?trail=&pageSize=14&gridSize=md&catid=cata000035&goToPage=1&fRequest=

or Nordstroms? http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/wedding-bridesmaid-dresses?origin=topnav

PS, I love your original dress and am really close to buying it for myself

Or if all your BM like this dress maybe they can get this one, and you can get a similar but different one for your MOH. I really like when the MOH is in a different dress and stands out from the other girls. But that's just my opinion.

Since she is your MOH, it wouldn't look weird at all if her dress was different for the others. In fact it wouldn't look weird if they all had different dresses, but that isn't the issue. Would one of these work?

I like that dress and if everyone else does too, maybe she'll have to deal. I'm curious as to what she doesn't like about the back. It's not like she'll see it, plus she can probably wear a regualr bra, which I always find to be a bonus.

People are weird.

Well one thing is...my MOH is my sister so I feel like she has to be happy with the dress. I really don't want to put any of them in a dress they are uncomfortable with. I don't know what about the back she doesn't like, I guess the fact that it is full coverage. I actually thought this was a bonus because they can easily wear a bar with this dress, and one of my BMs has a very large chest so I'm trying to avoid strapless.

She could wear a different dress, as MOH, like PPs have suggested

are you open to the idea of letting all bridesmaids pic a dress they like? I was nervous about it at first, and then settled on a designer, material, color, and length (bill levkoff chiffon navy floor length) and let them pick what they are comfortable in. everyone is happy, and its less stress for me!

I would put her in a different dress. Something that looks similar or works well with the others. It would make her appear more important as she is your MOH
