Since my gown is Mori Lee AND it has the color raspberry in it, I need to order raspberry bridesmaid's gowns. I am afraid that the color raspberry will vary from one designer to next so I can not risk clashing. I am not having the easiest time finding stores that carry a wide variety of Mori Lee gowns so I am curious as to where other ladies have purchased/ found Mori Lee bridesmaid's gowns and which ones were chosen. Pictures of your Mori Lee's would also be great! TIA

Re: Any one having Mori Lee Bridesmaid's dresses?
I got mine at Lillette's. I think there is a store finder on the website (morilee.com).
Here's a pic: The dress is the halter top, the color is claret (color of the strapless).
HTH!
ETA: the halter top dress looks so much better on my MOH than it does on the model! (I'm having a MOH only, no BMs)
I'm also a Mori Lee bride!!! Do you have a swatch or a shawl that has the raspberry color that's on your dress?? If you do, bring it with you when you look for bm dresses. Ask to see the color swatches for the designers. Then you can compare the color on your dress to the designer of the bm's. I did that, my dress has lavender. I brought my shawl and matched the color to the other designers swatches. I got a perfect match, even though my bm's dresses are from a different designer. Good Luck!! ~~Kim

I agree with above, for example, I found that the Mori Lee claret is about identical to Jim Hjelm bordeaux (I think that is the name of the color), so it is possible to match colors from different designers. Bring a swatch around when you look at dresses, and don't rely on the colors that show up on your computer screen. Some are spot on and some are TOTALLY off!

Good idea bringing the shawl and comparing it to the swatches of alternate designers. It will broaden my options. You are definitely right about the colors that on the websites. Mori Lee especially, is not true to life in its color swatches.

This is good to know!!!
I was originally looking at Mori Lee BM dresses in Claret and I found them at Estelle's on 110, but then decided on 2 Jim Hjelm dresses in Bordeaux. Glad they're basically the same color!!
