I posted in the wedding gown thread that EVERYTHING Priscilla of Boston is on sale at all of their salons AND every salon that carries Priscilla (because the brand is being discontinued.)

Everything is on sale at like 50-60% off or more. Of course what's there varies because they're selling samples only, but it's worth checking out if you're looking for maids dresses or flower girl dresses (and you don't mind buying off the rack):

So, my mom and I went to check out two DJs this morning. We had an hour to kill in between and it just so happens that we were near a Davids Bridal and House of Brides. We stopped in and I actually found a few styles that I really liked at both stores. (Never heard of House of Brides before and I never found anything that particularly stood out at DB). I found a few I LOVED at David's Bridal and a few other nice options at HoB.

Unfortunately, I can't find the pictures of the House of Brides dresses, but here are the 3 DB dresses my bridesmaids are gonna try on:

(I'm in love with dress #1 and really, really like #2 as well).

The color we would go with is "Sangria". Now the weird thing about Sangria...it's not quite the purple we originally had in mind; it really has a bit of a red hue to it. Also, it looks different depending on the fabric/lighting. So I creeped on Google images to see if I could find some real examples. This is how I think they would actually look, based on the fabrics of the dresses I picked:

However, here's another "davids bridal sangria" example:

So I'm not quite sure how the end product would look...I like them both, but I do like #1 a bit more. Based on what I saw in person, they should end up looking a bit more like #1.

I think I found our bridesmaid dresses



It's the one on the left.

Now before the "OMGZ ONE SHOULDER/SWEATHEART NECKLINE/ONLY A SIZE 0 CAN PULL THAT OFF"...

I was pleasantly surprised at how it looked on the two bridesmaids who tried it on. I would have never ever ever EVER pulled this style based on just this pic. And actually, I was skeptical when my cousin showed it to me on the hanger. I ALMOST put in in the reject pile when we were going through the dresses that my bridesmaids were actually going to try on. But then I decided to give it a shot.

The dress looked great on both a size 6 and size 12 ladies. Unfortunately, the 12 was the largest sample size the store had, so my other cousin and MOH (size 14/16) didn't get to try them. We're going to poke around and see if any other stores carry that size. They're also two tall ladies, so things might change completely when I see them in it. I'm a little nervous, but if it looked as great on my cousin and MOH as it did on the other two bridesmaids who tried them on, then these will likely be the winner!

Oh and it will be in purple!

I like the one you chose and I really like the one on the right as well but am not sure if it would look good on anyone other than the girl in the photo. There's a little Zenon/Jetsons to it but it's cute.

But I've seen it. And it does.

The more I look at it, though, the more I'm worrying it's going to be a revealing on my MOH, who has not tried it on, and it quite...blessed...up top. I'm sure the rest would look fine in her size, but we may have an issue in the bust area.

Sigh. I just want either A) this dress to look beautiful on everyone so we can order or B) another one (in the right shade purple, because that was a big issue) to just magically find its way to me so we can order it.

Oh I'm sure the one you chose does. I was unsure about the one on the far right.

Maybe Super KSUViolet can conjure one up for you?

So that dress is now out--I called another bridal store and said that that designer sends the same sample size/dress to all the stores, so every store will have that same size. I just can't make a decision if I'm not 100% satisfied. CURSES!!
