Bridesmaids' Dress Shopping last night

Original post by JLWSJC

was disappointing.

I went to Village Bridal because I ordered my dress there.


First I found a Bill Levkoff that I like but it doesn't come long and I don't want short dresses. IT was a pretty simple dress and they told me they had nothing else like it. It was just a v-neck with straps chiffon dress with a band around the waist? I could probably get the same gown at David's Bridal...

Then I found a Bella (I think) gown with a silk underlay and a sheer chiffon overlay, but it was fucshia underneath and midnight blue on top. The woman who worked with me told me she culdn't show me what other colors would look like laid on top of one another and if I couldn't picture the colors I wanted, if they would look good, then I should not go with that dress.... ***? I just wana see what one swatch looks like over another swatch... but we couldn't make that happen.

ANNNNYYYWAAAYYY, I REALLY don't wanna go to DB... Are there any recommendations for BM dress shopping? I found VB's selection to be a little lacking but I dunno if my standards were way too high or not... Who has a good selection?

.they came back 20 minutes later with it and instead of re-doing them, they took a few off, and then knotted the end of the thread a million times into a ball. I handed it back and told them to order me a new one.




I would have thrown an unmistakable FIT.

I left that part out of my story.

It's satin, which I don't like, and it's a halter and I'm wearing a halter. I so appreciate you looking though!!



Which dress did you end up picking BTW

It's so pretty! I knew you liked halter that's why I picked that dress - you can go on his site and put it specs and brings up dresses to match.....
