My bridesmaid dresses...Now with a pic of my gown to see everything together!!! Woohoo!!!

So, all the girls loved this dress! Its a bit different, but my wedding dress is a bit different too, I always liked a twist on the classics you know....

We are getting them hand made by a seamstress, Jonsgirl gave me, and we went to see her on Saturday, she seemed great. We are using this color as well. My favorite color is burgundy. I think the girls are going to have an ivory rose bouquet....

We're also making it longer in the front, we don't want feet to be exposed, and we also might put tiny rhinestones in the rosettes on the dress to make them pop a bit more, since my dress the bottom is gathered as well, and where there are gatherings there are swarovski appliques..

I want to know what you girls think! Ppl tell me the color isn't for a summer wedding, but it will go really nicely with my flowers...and I always loved this color

I think it is gorgeous. I dont see anything wrong with the color especially because you are having a nite wedding.

Yeah I figured it was a night time evening wedding, we are probably doing black tie optional, and the flowers are going to be dark and vibrant colors too....so I figured it would add to my drama I'm trying to re-create!!!

Thats exactly why I loved it!!! Its not your every day bridesmaid dress..my wedding dress is like that, its a wedding dress, but its not your typical wedding dress, it has a bit of a twist to it, and thats what I wanted for the girls....

I'll post the dress, but you can't tell the beadwork on the bodice or the crystals on the skirt, it shines, its gorgeous, and also, i changed the waistline of the dress, to make it a dropped waist rather than an asymmetrical waist, and added an 18 inch train..but here it is....
