Finally picked my bridesmaids' dress!

It's Bill Levkoff, 'European Silver.' One more thing to scratch off the 'to do' list!

I saw this dress in a magazine and loved it - where did you get it?

Re: Finally picked my bridesmaids' dress!

I just wore this dress last night for my friends wedding (in euro red) now while it was a pretty dress it is not flattering on any body type (even really skinny girls or younger girls...we had a range) and honestly it is veryyyyy hard to move...you cant move your arms at all, so if you want your MOH to fix your dress or ect...expect some complaints (i ripped my sleeve just getting into the limo!!) And the train looks nice, but all night it was being stepped on, i thought the dress was gonna rip off on me!!! Beautiful dress, I thought it was great until i had to wear it for 12 hours!! So if you didnt order it yet I would just consider the size ofyour girls and the comfortablilty of your girls!! Sorry

Re: Finally picked my bridesmaids' dress!

ps...also the straps are to stay on the ball of the shoulder...they altered mine so tight but they still fell down all night (for all the girls) I would recommend double stick tape for the shoulders. And they put some kind of padding in the bust (definitely wasnt requested by any of us girls) and it tends to make your boobs a bit umm pointy lol

Oooo I like it a lot. I had looked as something similar but they did not come in my color. They will look beautiful!

I agree- I loved this dress and was set on having my girls wear them until I saw a picture of 'real' bms wearing it- so HORRIBLY unflattering . . . sorry- All of my girls hated how it looked on the girls in the picture (I hope this picture doesn't belong to someone on the boards as I do not mean to offend . . .)

OMG! What did you do about your ripped sleeve? And in terms of being hard to move, tell me what the size range was of all the BM's. TIA!

Re: Finally picked my bridesmaids' dress!

Well I just left the ripped sleeve..not much I could do about it..it was still intact but i dont think anyone could notice unless they were up close...i was just nervous it would rip more! I wore a size 12 (only needed alterations for the sleeves (to supposedly make them stay up, never happened!) and a hemming at the bottom. There was a big chest girl who got like a size 20 but they altered it down to a 14 probably. There was a girl who was like a size 0, two girls who were about a size 4, one about a size 8 and one about a size 14/16 (her chest literally was falling out of the dress!) and one in a size 16. All different sizes..just honestly didnt think it did much for any of us, even the tiny girls.
