Bridesmaid Dress shopping on Saturday. HELP!!

I want to find dresses that look NOTHING like the typical bridesmaid dresses in pale yellow and if possible raw silk(very hard to find in yellow). I love the dresses on J Crew but hate the idea of ordering them online before trying them on. Any suggestions girls?

I wanted nothing but to find a bridesmaid dress that didn't looke like a 'bridesmaid' dress and found that it is almost impossible. I love the dress I chose but unless you buy from a department store I always feel like that. BUt they really seem to be making fun ones now. MOre stylish. Bari Jay/Jim Hjelm has some great dresses!!

WOW do we share a Brain?!?!!? i want my girls in lite yellow NON bridesmaid-y dresses too!
I checked out J crew and they are so expensive- I was thinking of just picking another store like BeBe or something like that and just looking for a yellow dress and buying them off the rack....
I did look at davids bridal- cause then they can pick ANY tea length dress they want in yellow- since i like the mis matchy look too.....

i know it can get a bit pricey, but i love the POB vineyard collection for non-bridesmaid-y dresses. idk about raw silk, but a lot of the dresses flow like silk (satin yoryu, silk charmeuse, etc.)

i'm in fsil's wedding in october and we're wearing j.crew dresses. she actually bought one for some of us to try on before ordering the rest. her plan was to return it if she didn't like it.

priscilla of boston - so reasonable. Not bridesmaidy and most were under $200. REALLY impressed. Honestly, I would wear most of the dresses to an affair myself.

This is the one we loved. it looks awesome on everyone and is soooo pretty in person.

There is a really gorgeous Jim Jhelm dress, here is the link:

It doesn't come in pale yellow but it does come in some really nice colors. I really wanted this dress but it is really fitted and it wouldn't have looked good on some of my girls. I still really love it.

ariadress.com -- I think they have a big showroom in NYC where you can try the dresses on....or maybe it's at Thread where you can try them...

I loved all the POB dresses we tried on and then we went to try on the regular BM dresses and nothing could compare. and for basically the same $$$

oh and it is very wearable
It has a floral motif on the top which makes it a bit less formal

The girls all agreed they could wear it again.

Bari Jay does have several short dresses. Don't know what the fabrics are though.
