Bridesmaid Dresses - HELP

OK, so I posted last night, but I need serious help. I am having bad luck trying to find a dress that will suti everyone. I think I am going to lose it.

Can you guys post pics and list the places oyu went to to find the dress posted?

I have this one bridesmaid who is being so mean, I think I am going to kick her in the butt.

She is coming down for a Halloween costume party in two weeks and had the nerve to tell me that she will let me borrow a skirt of hers, but she 'isn't sure if I will be able to fit myself in it!' Can you believe her? UGH!!!!!

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses - HELP

I just posted this in my thread about picking my BM dress...

It's Jim Hjelm Occasions, ordered it in Cornflower blue for my girls. It's really really flattering on EVERYONE.

Valentina Bridal
New Utrecht Avenue and 77th Street in Bensonhurst Brooklyn

Don't let her ruin everything, if she has issues with every dress, you are going to have to go with majority rules!

This dress looked great on everyone and it was inexpensive. I got it at David's bridal (the one on 86th Street in Brooklyn).

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses - HELP

I went to RK Bridal in NYC. (39th between 8th and 9th). They have a ton of dresses. They are not always in the best shape but they have tons.

I let all my BM pick their own dress...so I would have a bunch to post. I just picked fabric, color and mfg and would you know I had one BM that still caused a issue (small but enough to annoy me!!!). I chose matte sating, Dessy or After Six in bordeaux. They had at least 25 dresses to choose from.

Why is she so picky? Is there any guidelines she set due to an insecurity or something? If not, I would choose a dress that makes everyone else happy and tell her wear it or leave it! She is a BM not the bride.

I went to RKBridal on 39th betwen 8th and 9th in Manhattan. They have a huge selection.

I don't have a scanner but the dresses are impressionbridal style #881. They have a website you can look there.

Also, I have sizes from0-18 in my bridal party so this particular designer has seperates so everyone can look good. If you look online at the style Iam adding spaghetti straps to the dress. The dress is very moderately priced which I think is important for the girls and their pockets.

Also, this is your wedding and not your friend's. Whatever you want, she would where no questions asked!!!!

good luck

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses - HELP

I did seperates.
http://www.alexiadesigns.com./dresspages/1102.html

I have girls who are 98lbs and girls who wear size 14. I have 5'1 thru 5'10. Blonde hair, brown hair, long hair, short hair etc...etc...
The seperates really worked out well because everyone looks great in them and they fit nicely.

Also, take only one or two girls with you. Pick a dress and then TELL the other girls what you picked. WHen you ask for opinions you get them so don't ask.
