I like it too! I don't think I've ever seen a long sleeved BM dress. It's different . . .and I like it!

Re: Opinions on BM DRESS!!!!!!!!!!

I think you need your thinnest and your heaviest girl to try the gown on. That is what I did when we went looking for gowns.
That gown can go either way, I think. Personally I would look HUGE in it with the empire waist and flowing material. But the proof is when you see it for yourself on your BM.

I like the style, have you seen that there are flower girl dresses out there that match this BM dress. David's carries one, it is adorable.

You can probably find them cheaper at Burton's, RK Bridal or netbride.com. It is hard to base a decision on the models you have to see how it looks onyour girls.

Re: Opinions on BM DRESS!!!!!!!!!!

They would not be my style. I checked your date and I was wondering if the long sleeves are a good idea for April.

This is just my opinion

Re: Opinions on BM DRESS!!!!!!!!!!

It's very pretty...a very romantic dress. You could really go for the whole Victorian wedding theme with that kind of dress!

But I have to agree with Michele, take the girls that are complete opposite body types to try the dresses on...empire waists can be hard.

And anything to do with the word wedding...never goes on sale.

Try the online discounters definitely...but Alfred Angelo is pretty affordable!

Good luck!

Re: Opinions on BM DRESS!!!!!!!!!!

I think they're pretty, but too much material. I don't think they will be flattering. I wouldn't want to wear it.

Re: Opinions on BM DRESS!!!!!!!!!!

Those are pretty, but I have to agree with some of the other girls that I would make sure they are flattering on all your girls. Personally, I think I would look very frumpy in something like that. When it comes to flattering all your girls, I think less is more. The simpler the lines of the dress, the better you may be.

Re: Opinions on BM DRESS!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, now I see it. I'm sorry, but I don't like them. Maybe it is the mauve and cornflower blue that is throwing me off, but I think they look cheap and kind of dated. I hope that didn't sound harsh, I just think you can find something cleaner and a little more sophisticated. JMO!

Re: Opinions on BM DRESS!!!!!!!!!!

Lulu, I couldn't see it with my Internet Explorer browser, but when I switched to Netscape I could see it. I don't know if that is an option for you, but I figured I will let you know.
