I think I actually made a decision!
Original post by AudioLoveStory
Just got back from Paradise (Hi Kedra and Laura!) and I think I actually made a decision on these bridesmaid dresses.
The manufacturer ended up sending 4 different samples based on the original one that I liked that was strapless:
Unfortunately 3 of the samples are only in stores and not online so I don't have pics.
They sent one that was exactly the same as above but one shoulder. I liked it but FH's mom may be wearing a one shoulder dress and I don't want everything to be too matchy.
They also sent one that I absolutely adored but wouldn't be flattering on my girls. It was similar to the above but a bit more of a sheath. It had a sweetheart neckline and thick straps. I LOVED the top, but wasn't crazy about the bottom.
The next one was strapless but with a slightly different top. It wasn't cut the same on the bottom.
The final one was the one that I had requested:
I thought for sure this would be it, but when we tried it on the top was cut verrrrry low and the strapless actually offered more coverage. The bottom wasn't cut exactly like the top one either so instead of risking it we decided to go with.....
the original dress. The strapless with the bottom that I love. I'm just going to tell the girls that they can add removable spaghetti straps for the reception if they choose.

i'm curious about this one-shouldered number now! maybe i'll take a trip to paradise this weekend to see it...i'm assuming it's mackenzie michaels? special ordered for miss lindsay? lol will they know what i'm talking about?
The one shoulder dress was REALLY nice...and the sample color they sent to paradise was really pretty!!
Linds...I also really liked the taffeta dress and WISH we could SEE it in satin at least....Ugh...I think it would make ALL the difference!!
