So, all the girls loved this dress! Its a bit different, but my wedding dress is a bit different too, I always liked a twist on the classics you know....

We are getting them hand made by a seamstress, Jonsgirl gave me, and we went to see her on Saturday, she seemed great. We are using this color as well. My favorite color is burgundy. I think the girls are going to have an ivory rose bouquet....

We're also making it longer in the front, we don't want feet to be exposed, and we also might put tiny rhinestones in the rosettes on the dress to make them pop a bit more, since my dress the bottom is gathered as well, and where there are gatherings there are swarovski appliques..

I want to know what you girls think! Ppl tell me the color isn't for a summer wedding, but it will go really nicely with my flowers...and I always loved this color

I LOVE this dress. Do you have that seamstress name and contact info? My sister has been trying to find a dress but no luck. We are probably going to have her MOH dress made since I want true purple chiffon and most bridesmaid dresses are in plum.

The seamstress is out in Queens, her name is Doreen. I don't have her number on me right now, I have it at home, so when I get home, I'll FM you.

OMG I am in love with your dress. I love bottom dresses that gathered look. The bridesmaids dresses are beautiful and I would totally put the rhinestones in. Congrats and two great finds!

thanks for being honest!!!!

Well the seamstress is getting me swatches of material, the material that the dress is pictured in is tafetta, which is actually light, not like a heavy satin, but the girls did air that concern, and she said she's going to look for a light tafetta....Also, everything is in doors for us, we might take a few pictures outside but thats it...

But thank you again for pointing that out to me...I appreciate all comments, and it was a great point too!!!

No one with comments, bad or good, Honestly, they won't offend me....

I love it!!!!! It's different but elegant. The color is to die for. I love burgundy too. My wedding is burgundy and white. The BM's will be in burgundy dresses too!!!

And don't listen to anyone about the color being wrong for the summer. I heard the same thing too...over and over and over again. I'm having a spring wedding so everyone though the dresses should have been pink or powder blue or something. Go with your hear b/c their beautiful dresses.

Your dress is pretty too. I like what's going on in the bottom part of the dress. It's different.

Thanks, where the dress i gathered there are swarovski crystals, so as you walk not only does the bodice sparkle but the skir does too...I loved that when I tried it on

Ok...just checking cause I feel like im an advocate for bridesmaid everywhere (never been one but I can empathize with em)

Great Choice!! Have you shown your BP yet?

FLIPPING GORGEOUS!

Very very nice - personally, I think ivory flowers with green leaves would look stunning against that color - too many reds ruin the dramatic efect IMO.

Really lovely, great choice!

I agree with you on too many reds...thats why I think ivory is perfect....

Yes, my BP have all seen it and approved it happily!!!

Thanks for all the compliments ladies!!!
