bridesmaid dress dilemma- feeling behind...

Hi girls,
So I found what I thought was 'the' bridesmaid dress...until I realized it doesn't come in ANY color I want! It is a Bill Levkoff style 334,but but because its chiffon and charmeuse (sp)it only comes in the fabric the charmeuse is available in. The colors are either TOO light or TOO dark. Now I am stuck :(
Also, I feel overwhelmed d/t my new work schedule I have no time to look at invitations etc. except on a Saturday after 2pm. I am so busy the next 2 weekends so it looks like I won't be doing any wedding planning until the first weekend in October.
I still have to FIND a bridesmaid dress or pick a color I ultimately don't like. I was thinking the pewter color and then the girls will be able to have pink and lavender flowers. The petal pink is too light, and when we went this weekend to try on dresses my mom and aunt said that it makes them (the girls) look 'washed out'.
I also still have to find a hair stylist - but I don't have a veil or headpiece yet - haven't had time to go look, and won't until October.
It doesn't help that a lot of places don't open until noon on weekdays and I start work some days at either 9 or 2 ... not cool :(
does any one have pictures of a bill levkoff dress in pewter?

What style are you looking for

Have you tried looking at a different designer? The designer I chose has a line called Jim Hjelm Occasions & they carry chiffon..maybe try looking into their swatches to see if they have the color that you're looking for.

Don't stress..you still have plenty of time! I'm 1 week after you and I have to still look at invitations, veil & headpiece

What if you pick one of the colors that is too dark or too light and accent it with flowers in the shade of the color that you do like along with white? I wouldn't stress too much. If it makes you feel any better I'm two months before you and I haven't put a deposit down on a dress, gotten a veil or a headpiece, looked at invitations, a florist, tuxes or a hair stylist yet. I just decided on my BM dresses about a month ago. Don't stress yourself out over it, everything will come together in the end and although everything is booked so far in advanced, a lot of that is by choice. You definitely still have time. Best of luck!

This. Jim hjelm has some really nice chiffon colors. The lavender is really pretty and isn't too light that it'll wash people out. They also have some nice light-medium pinks.

Don't stress! I'm only a few weeks after you and don't have BM dresses (or even appointments for them lol)! I didn't even look at invitations yet or veils or any type of accessory. I just started a new internship so I can't take much time off and I just moved so a lot of my weekends are taken up also. Don't worry...it will get done! BM dresses take about 5 months so we still have time :)
