Help me find tea-length Bridesmaid dresses...

I think they are so cute! And often re-wearable (is that even a word?) - which is nice for the bridesmaids. And if you have them, can you please post pics or links??? Thanks so much! :o)

Re: Help me find tea-length Bridesmaid dresses...

I went on a mad search for tea-length BM dresses...they are hard to come by. The following designers have them:

Jim Hjelm
Watters & Watters
Wtoo
Dessy
After6

There are lots of colors to choose from...I'm doing the solid wine. Hope this helps!

This is a Jim Hjelm, I think it is so cute...maybe a little too young looking though..

I don't remember who it was, but a while ago someone posted their Jim Hjelm tea length bridesmaid dress and I LOVED it! I can't find it on the site anymore though...

Colleen, maybe it was you...??

Hmmm, not sure Kim - I favored Watters T-length dresses over Hjelm's - so it probably wasn't me.

Dangit! I was hoping to copy you...

Thanks anyway.

No, unfortunately that wasn't it. Although that one is very cute.

The one I am referring too was a deep wine color I believe.

I wish I remembered the name of the thread, I would do a search.... oh well.

Re: Help me find tea-length Bridesmaid dresses...

It is so pretty right Colleen?? I just think it looks a bit frumpy...maybe it just isn't the right fit on the model. Something about it urks me...

I think I would have to see it in person.

I don't like the way the model is standing in it - she looks uncomfortable.

Re: Help me find tea-length Bridesmaid dresses...

Yeah maybe that's it. Her legs are so spread apart. Do I call bridal boutiques to see if they carry that designer? How do I even go about finding a certain dress I saw on a website? I am so damn clueless...

Re: Help me find tea-length Bridesmaid dresses...

Thanks for all the great links, pics and ideas. Keep them coming if you have any more! I'm planning an afternoon June wedding at Vineyard Caterers with a garden/vineyard theme. Our colors are pink, silver, and white. I think the tea length would fit in perfectly with this. I really like the pink plaid, but I'm not sure how it will look with my dress. Also, several of my bridesmaids are plus size, and I'm worried about them wanting sleeves (which few tea-length dresses have). Guess we'll have to see how it works out. Maybe we can find matching wraps. :o)

Kim - when I went out looking for a dress that I found on Bridesave, I went to the designer's website to find out which bridal shops in my area carry that designer, then just went from shop to shop looking for the dress I wanted. Hope this helps!
