is the cornflower really that bright? eeek

its a summer wedding go for the tangerine!!

It doesn't look that bright in person, I guess the way the colors show up on the computer aren't totally accurate.

Re: BM dress color decision

I truly appreciate all your help.

My last concern, 1 of my BM's has put on some baby weight that there is no guarentee she will loose by June (baby due in jan.) So, here is my worry... they say they love the color and then when they put the dresses on when they come in and they hate it because the loudness of the color makes them feel bigger. I don't know if that makes sense but I have been on that side of the tracks before and felt brighter colors are more attention grabbing. Any thoughts on that?

I agree, they are more attention grabbing and may cause some issues in the waist area. But so may the cut of the dress. I struggled for so long over this whole thing, with different shades of blue and type of dress. I even stopped bringing my MOH. I just took all the info they gave me and went shopping myself and in the end they loved the style and color of the dress.

Hey - we're date twins!

I had to vote for the tangerine. It's more subtle and a very pretty shade.

As for the cut, I think the way the top comes down and overlaps the skirt may help to hide an extra weight in the tummy area. When I wore a 2-piece dress like this, I found the fit to be very flattering.
