That's it! #11!!!! That's the color I want for my (very far in the distance) bridesmaid dresses!
By the time I get married, it'll probably change but it's nice to see that color exists somewhere outside of my mind.

I was in a wedding recently and we wore this in apple red.
The dress was nice but I had to spend $80 altering it because I'm short and have a chest that is a size 0 in David's Bridal but my hips caused me to get a size 6 dress. Because the dress was somewhat form fitting it was a little hard to sit in.

Dreamful, I was thinking about doing the Two Birds dresses too. I did some research on them, and apparently the dress doesn't look good on people above a size 8 or so. Also, you'd have to go backless in alot of the dress styles, and that won't work for a lot of women.
Since you got a chance to see the dresses, what was the quality of the material like? Is it worth the money?

On "My Fair Wedding" they have had plus-sized girls in these dresses and I thought they were flattering. The material is the real question ... it's not typical "formal attire" fabric but I haven't seen that in person. All I know is that they can definitely be altered to be flattering to all body types.

It is a very flowy (sp?) material, possibly satin, and my MOH who wore it thought it felt more like a nightgown than a bridesmaid dress, although we did like how versatile it was.

I cut off the heads of my bridesmaids in this pic to protect their privacy. The David's Bridal dress is the one in the middle. It actually looked very much like my Matron of Honor's dress, so no one could tell the difference.

Went to look at bridesmaid dresses with two of my BMs this past weekend. I think this is the one I'm going to pick for my girls:
Mori Lee
Gonna get it in the purple as you see it, or maybe a slightly darker shade of purple, but hoping to get the sash in silver.

Not pink vests and ties though...it'll be silver/platinum vests and ties.

I love modcloth for dresses! One of my friends had her 2 bridesmaids just choose black dresses in a certain length from there and it turned out really pretty.
