Need help finding BM dresses...

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I am using Aria dresses for my girls. Since I have 7 we get a discount so they end up being $175. My other suggestions is that I was really surprised at the quality of David's Bridal bridesmaid collection. I ended up buying a dress from there for a wedding where I choose my own dress and it was $130. Last suggestion is to contact Pearl's Place. They are in LA, so they might still be closed, but last time I checked their store was ok. There you can get most collections, such as Jim Hjelm for at a 30% discount. You just have to call them to see what styles they have and then they can ship them to you. It takes about 4 months for all of the dresses and they have bridal dresses too! HTH!

Something I found from experience..

Everyone loved that my BM dresses were tea length.. hit just below the knee. That makes them very wearable.. You dont need to attend a formal event to wear the dress again!

Also, something else that might help.. My BFF did this for her wedding in November.. She picked a designer and a color and we all picked different style dresses within that line. It really worked out well. Every one picked out what they liked and what flattered their bodies. If they really love the dress and are excited about that.. That will make it more wearable too.

HTH!

I agree with joceybaby - tea length is great for future use.

I like these Bari Jay dresses available at Nordstrom, though I haven't seen them in person:

available in pink, $148.

$158

Actually I think a lot of Bari Jay dresses are cute: http://www.barijay.com/

I've been drooling over that second dress! I love it so much! I'm planning on wearing it to a Christmas banquet.

sorry, I'm not much help, but I'lll look around.

i was actually thinking of this dress for my BMs

Karina- I am having my girls wear tea length. I forgot to tell you about the Ann Taylor dresses they are really cute and I tried one on last week and my sister and I really liked them. I also love those Bari Jay dresses, but I can tell you that straight dresses look horrible on me. I hope that I am not bursting your bubble, but I would be a little sad if I was asked to wear a straight dress because my bum would be so huge. Sorry.

I agree. This particular style would not work for me..

But Karina - if all of your girls are very thin and/or have small bums.. then more power to you. It is a pretty dress.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

Yes I agree that if it fits them all then more power to you because the price is great and it is very cute and they will love you for that!
