Went bridesmaids dress shopping again today....

Okay so ive narrowed my BM dresses down to 3, but heres the thing.....

I want the dress to be some sort of gray since my colors are gray and yellow BUT the dresses that I like the most (the two with the ruffles-one for BM and one for MOH) only comes in silver, which is more like a light gray and not charcoal (dark gray).

I dont know what to do, if i should just do the silver or just go with one of the other ones to get the color I really want (charcoal).

the other problem is I can only see this silver color in a swatch not one store has a dress in this color!

sorry now im rambling!

I think decide what is more important color or dress?

I think all the dresses are beautiful so it's not like your downgrading a dress for color.

yes tha navy blue one is my favorite! BUT Idont want this silver color to be too light GRRRR

I would say.....I understand you like the first 2 dresses but they look like a different material than the grey color you are looking at so it will be a lighter, less shiny color, also if you have girls of different sizes you may want to take that into account, the two dresses you like don't look like the mostt flattering material, while the silk usually is. Just my opinion.

they are actually all chiffon....the bottom 2 are luminescent chiffon (just a bit on the shiny side)
I went to look with all of my girls and looks good on all so thats not a problem....

its the color thats giving me a problem. I would never make them wear something they are not comfortable in or dont look good in.

Chrystie...let me start by saying that I LUV the first 3 dresses...absolutely stunning! good job on that! Is gray ur major color? if it is, u might want to stick to that color only. Also, how silver is the silver u're talking about, there r different tones of silver and if it's not too shinny it might work...let me see if I can find some pics...

yes gray is my main color as well as yellow but I dont think yellow is as flattering on everyone as the gray would be.

so this is the problem with the 'silver' no one seems to have a sample of it!
but it wont be shiny bc its chiffon, not satin.

im trying to figure out if the picture of the dress side by side is 'silver' or 'ice blue'

Re: Went bridesmaids dress shopping again today....

the 1st dress is a dark silver and the 2nd pic is a light silver, so depending on the type of silver, u might be able to make it work
