black and white dresses

ok girls, I need help!!!! My best friend is getting married 7-7-07 and we are on the hunt for bridesmaid dresses. She has fallen in love with the idea of a black and white wedding and wants black and white dresses. This all comes off of this one dress that we found a few years ago.

We are looking now, and have not found anything we are in love with. So I am asking two things.

One....Does anyone know of any cute black and white dresses???

Two.....We have one of the dresses this whole idea came from. Does anyone know of an awesome seamstress that would make the dress from scratch, copying the one that we have??? ANd how much that might cost???

Thanks in advance!!!

Re: black and white dresses

When I was looking for BM dresses I went to Bridesave.com and you can look at dresses based on a different number of parameters. (ie: color, length, etc.)

The seamstress I went to was Filomena's Dressmaking in Coram. You can always check her out and see how much it would cost to do it. Good luck!

Re: black and white dresses

My sister wore black & white for my wedding. Her dress was a Bill Levkoff, but it was 2 years ago & I am not sure that dress is still being made.

Re: black and white dresses

Hi - I would check out B2 dresses:

http://www.jasminebridal.com/html/web1/b2_3.asp?offset=35

I was in a wedding and wore style B1304, and it was a great dress. Styles B5307 and B0906 look nice, too.

Good luck!
