Anyone having plaid bridesmaid dresses?

sounds terrible but i love the tea-length separates that jim hjelm has (i would post a link but they never work for me

) - #4345 skirt. Is plaid IN? Will I look back on my pictures 10 years from now and be like 'what was I THINKING?'. Most of my bridesmaids seem to like it...or maybe they are just being really polite....? What do you all think?

I've seen them and I think they are adorable! I've seen them in pastels like pink and blue shades...pretty!

I think I know the one you're talking about...and when I first fell in love with that dress my sisters told me that they HATED it (and I realized that that dress is not for everyone)...so, I had no choice but to go with something else.

See if you can get all your girls together to go try it on...if everyone loves it and agrees on it...then GO FOR IT!!!!

Good Luck!

I wore a plaid skirt at my sisters wedding! I loved it, plus I got to wear it again at my company's christmas party!!

Re: Anyone having plaid bridesmaid dresses?

wow - pretty! I was thinking of champaign color b/c not all the girls like pink. Is that too close to white? The sample looked yellow (eeeks). Can someone post a pick for me so everyone can see the dress I am talking about?

Thanks.

YUP - that's it! I don't know that that color is acurate though....I'm telling you i tried it on in 2 stores (same color) and it looked gold in one and bright banana in the other. I hope it was just the lighting.... P.S. - that model is toooo skinny!

I had found plaid dresses, that I loved, it was the same plaid berlykim had, in a skirt, it had a cool top to go with it, but my sister said it was too dark for a spring wedding...anyway, I like the plaid
