Hate the selection on the dress searches on theknot and haven't seen any on wedding channel that I like...scoured through Dessy and nada...not even sure now WHAT I want...

Re: Can't find ANY BM dresses that I like
Any clue on what you like in style or color? I took the easy way out. I picked the color and let the girls pick the dress they felt most comfortable in. However, I didn't really have a choice. My bridesmaid have a drastic range in sizes and I wanted everyone to feel comfortable. Good Luck

I would decide on a color too. You might find a dress, that does not come in the color you want. Maybe then you will fidn dress you like. Any particular material style. I think I will go with separates, maybe they can wear the top again with pants of something. But we shall see when they go looking with me. Mine all range too, so this should be areal pain (luckily only 4 total)

Re: Can't find ANY BM dresses that I like
I am having the same problem. I went looking last weekend and found NOTHING I like and looked at hundreds of dresses.
I am thinking of going to a regular retail stores and finding a designer dress (not too expensive though). Maybe bloomies .... ?

Re: Can't find ANY BM dresses that I like
This is the dress I picked for my girls - it was cute, cheap and they don't need dyable shoes. I gave up looking b/c I didn't want them spending a lot of money and I figured they could maybe use the skirt again.

Jenn - thanks for the lead. I looked at Jim Hjelm a few weeks ago and couldn't find anything that wowed me, but I'll take another look....

Re: Can't find ANY BM dresses that I like
I am having a hard time finding something I like too...I want sleeves too....andI think my best bet is checking closer to the fall...I think maybe ONE out of my 5 girls can wear strapless or small straps....I did find some cute things on nordstrom.com....some things are cute on there...I thnk I would like to go with an Apple Red color..but still up in the air...was thinking of Black before, but now not so sure...I love all the colors....

Re: Can't find ANY BM dresses that I like
MY BMs wore watters & watters.. they didn't necessarily wear sleeves- but they did wear a v-neck which is a little different. These dresses were pretty affordable.
i got mine at bridal reflections...check out dessy.com
i picked style #1955 in 'midnight' (or black!)
i even think they look better in person...JMO
oops sorry...didnt realize you def wanted sleeves ( :

I think sleeves can be added to dresses - if you find a sleevless dress that you love, keep that in mind.

Re: Can't find ANY BM dresses that I like
I really liked the dresses on watters and watters and my only fear was that they were on the more expensive side but we ordered them all through net bride got a 100 cheaper and it has been so easy! My girls actually found a dress they loved, we went to try it on and then asked me if that could be the one..it worked out pretty good. It was nto what i thought my bm's would wear at all but they all loved it and can wear it again so it worked out! Sometimes what you don't picture ends up being it! good luck

We got these dresses for my Brothers wedding, I love them, I ahve won the dress 3 other times,a dn the top two other times with nice black pants. I think they are made by Jordan, but there is another company that makes a similar dress with diferent tops.

Re: Can't find ANY BM dresses that I like
I really like Jim Hjelm, Watters & Watters, and Vera Wang's bridesmaids dresses. I haven't started looking yet, but I found tons in bridal magazines that I fell in love with. Those are just some ideas to check out. I think you can request catalogs from some of them if you go to their websites.

Massapequa, I think it was Bridal Reflections, they have a dress by Jasmine, and the Bellsoi collection. Very unique with three layers of fabric, chiffon on the outside, then a soild in the center. The combos of colors are great.
