wrote to me last night and is frantic, in need of help. This is the girl that lost every last wedding item she had in a fire and was going to cancel her wedding. I know you ladies were asking if there was anything else she needed and we are there....SO...shes asking for BM dresses, or any GM tuxes or suits. Im going to paste in exactly what she wrote to me...it'll be easier that way...

Hi Amber,
Just a shot in the dark here...Ive been searching for bridesmaids gowns for myself and 2 other girls without any luck. I was just wondering if you may know anyone that might have any bridesmaids/evening gowns/prom gowns that they no longer want and would like to get rid of? Im looking for sizes (1)18/20, (1)22, and (1)24. Ive been all over clarion, oil city, franklin, brookville...well just to say ive been all over and cant find 1 dress. Maybe because of the season change. You already know my situation with the whole money issue and since the wedding is right around the corner its really tight now. So if you know anyone that would like to donate any dresses please let me know. Colors can vary (NOT BLACK)...would like them to be floor length dresses. Also if you know of anyone with a cpl tux's or nice black dress suits let me know. If not, no problem...Im grasping for anything right now.

Thanks alot for everything you have already done for us! you have been the biggest godsend to us...I could never be getting married if it werent for you. I had the biggest hole in my heart, and you filled it. Your an amazing person. You changed my life...my wedding day!

So if anybody has anything we can work with, please let me know. Im waiting to hear back on sizes for dress shirts or anything, and also a mailing address. We live in PA, so if anyones donates anything it'll have to be mailed. Her wedding in November 15th...so it really is right around the corner!! Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!!!!!!

Awww I feel so bad for her. Unfortunately I have 2 BM dresses that sit in my closet 1 from a wedding I was in 2 years ago and 1 for my cousin's wedding that was supposed to be Nov 14th but was cancelled. But they are size 4s. Sorry....I hope everything works out for her.

I also have a DB dress in Apple (red)

I don't remember the style but it's the one with the S shaped brooch at the waist.

I think it's a size 20, altered slightly at the bust to lay flush to my skin and the length was untouched. I'm 5'6'' and wore 3 inch heels.

If this helps, let me know, It's just sitting in my closet, needs to be cleaned.

Wish I had more to offer!

ETA: Also, you should def cross post this if you haven't already. I'm taking the liberyt ot linkt this to the 2011 board right now..

I'm sure with the amount of girls ont his board it has to be that there are 3 or 4 of us who have dresses that will fit her sizes and coordinate in color. So many of us have been in bridal parties and have friends with dresses....

I hope she has a fantastic day. I can't get this poor girl out of my head now. Give her my best!

Oh Im sure we can cooridinate...and it looks like we are along the lines of fall colors so it works perfectly As soon as I get her address (she doesnt have computer anymore so she can only get on every so often) I will FM you. Thanks!!!!!!

Amber, do you still need more? I have a DB floor length BM dress, size 22 but altered to around a 20 ... DB color lapis (dark purple). You can see me in it on Facebook from my friend's wedding in early October. Let me know ... I was going to donate it to that prom program (just got home from HM yesterday so haven't even looked into that yet) but I'm more than happy to give it to your bride! Let me know.

I have a size 24 red dress from David's Bridal. It has a white thick ribbon around the middle, but it can come off. It's strapless, and very full at the bottom.

Here is a link to a pic of me in it:

dress

Unfortunately, I really have a tight schedule Mon-Fri, and I honestly don't have the time to go to the post office. However, if you wanted to come pick it up, I could leave it with my mother at home.

ETA: I'm 5 foot 8, so thats the length it would be on a person of my height.

Agh I just read that you live in PA! Is there anyone around that could pick it up? Does the girl live on the island?
