HELP!!! JR. Bridesmaid Dresses!!

I am starting to flip out! I have 2 Jrs. and can not find a dress for them! The bridal party is in black and their dress does not come in kids size. I have been everywhere looking for a Jr Dress in black and to boot their mom wont spend over a 100.00 a dress! The wedding is in October and I starting to get nervous! Any suggestions? I tried Estelles last night but all they had was pastels. Am I crazy to think I will find this?

Re: HELP!!! JR. Bridesmaid Dresses!!

We are in the same position. My BM's are in Black and I have found no black Jr.BM dresses. But my Jr.BM's are in Florida too. Definitley do not goto davids bridal. They DO NOT have BLack or silver. Jim Hjelm is too expensive. Ms.Jillian and JAsmine have Junior Bridemsaid lines, but I think they range from 130-150.

I just found yesterday a website called www.bridaloriginals.com. Look under FLowergirl section(there should be about 8 pages of dresses). They go up to size 16 and alot of styles come in Black. You can search for retailers near you and I think the prices range from 89-150.

Good Luck & Be in Touch!

Sorry-Forgot to tell you to try Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdales, and Macys too. Also-the bridal building in the city. I am also going to look there in the next 2 weeks.

I have two Jr. BM (age 7 & 10) and they are wearing this in Navy.

Dress

It won't post! Let me resize it! The resized picture went to my home email that I can't check at work. After you click on the link, click view gowns, then flowergirls, my dress is #22212. (Not the same as my fg dress).

I would definitely check out Macys... also try Jessica McClintock (sp?) in the Roosevelt Field Mall, right outside of Nordstrom, next to Armani.

Re: HELP!!! JR. Bridesmaid Dresses!!

Just a suggestion: if you find a dress that's over $100, maybe offer to pay the balance? If its in the budget, that is. This might open your options a bit.

Re: HELP!!! JR. Bridesmaid Dresses!!

If you dont mind me asking, please let me know about how much you spent about.

Re: HELP!!! JR. Bridesmaid Dresses!!

My JRBM dress was $128, no tax, + $7 for shipping - I had it shipped to my girls in FL (no shipping if you picked it up at the store)

Re: HELP!!! JR. Bridesmaid Dresses!!

What sizes are your JR Bridesmaids? Have you checked BrideSave? They offer quite a few dresses that are around $100 that are available in black.
Here are a few:
This one is available in black, and goes to size 14 for $94

This one also goes up to a girl's 14 for $97

This one also

I searched under flowergirl for these dresses, since they don't have a jr. bm section, and there were quite a few more dresses, that went up to about $120.
What do your bm dresses look like?

Also, have you checked out Alfred Angelo?
These three dresses are available in black, and size junior bridesmaid sizes 8JB to 14JB.

Also, their full Spring 2003 bridesmaid line is available in jr. bm. I don't know the exact prices, but I looked at some regular Alfred Angelo BM dresses at the wedding center in Commack, and they were cheap, a lot of them were less than $100.

Re: HELP!!! JR. Bridesmaid Dresses!!

Many dress designers will allow you to purchase extra fabric so you can have a dress made. I am anal about my jr bm's dress matching everyone elses. You can even order the fabric from netbride.com. They quoted me $20/yard for Bill Levkoff's european silk fabric and $10/yard for the lining. My jr bm is about a girls size 8 so I will probably only need about 2 yards. a friend of my mom's is going to make the dress.
