I haven't seen it in person, but I *really* like it -- and I'm sure your bridesmaids would love you for choosing it!  Such a classic.

I haven't seen it in person either but I agree that it's a nice classic dress that your bridesmaids will get so much more use out of and I'm sure the price tag is nice!

$30!! Possibly the cheapest bridesmaid dress ever. If it looks half as nice in person, I think that's going to be the one! Dressed up with a pink pashmina and their bouquet, I think it will look perfect!


Karina-  I didn't notice if it came in other colors, but I don't think it did.

What kind of material is it? I bought a dress that I swear looks just like that at Target & if that's it, it is THE MOST flattering dress, ever. I am not a skinny little girl (but i think it would look great on someone thin as well) & it had a structured bodice / waist I pushed up my boobs great - I haven't worn it yet because I really haven't had an occassion (nice dinner it would be perfect), but when I do I planned to wear my vintage bed jacket, a shawl or a light cardi over it. If your wedding is pretty laid back, which I think it sounds like it if I remember right, I think it would be great. And the girls could really & truly wear it again. I think it's worth ordering at least one to check it out.

they only have a few random sizes at the stores I called around to, but I had a 10% off code that expired tonight so one of my girls went ahead and ordered it so we can see how it looks irl and what the fit is like (my other bridesmaid would look good in anything- she's my sister and I am so jealous! she's liek a barbie doll!). I'll let you all know how it works out! For that price, if it's nice I might get myself one too- you can never have too many LBDs!

The dress came last night and it is perfect! Pretty modest for being strapless and the fabric is a nice thicker one that holds it's shape.  If anyone's looking for a cheap LBD, i def. reccomend this one.

YAY!!! I bet it is the same one I got. So are you going to use them as your bridesmaid dresses? Man that would be so cool for your girls...

Did you think it ran a little big?  I was reading some of the reviews over at target.com and a couple people mentioned that even the smallest sizes would not fit small girls the right way.  I love it though and it's so cheap!

I have that dress! That will be cute Bridesmaid dresses! I thought it did run a tad big.

This is just a thought and I don't want you to take this the wrong way. But I bought that dress to actually wear to a wedding, as a guest. I ended up not wearing it because it came too late for the wedding (darn slow shipping!) I just wanted to give you a heads up that it might be a dress your guests might buy to wear to your wedding.

Although you mentioned it's going to be a small wedding, so what are the chances, right? Anyway, that's just my .
