Has anyone used this bridesmaid dress?

or something similar for their wedding? I LOVE this dress but I'm not sure if it's too much dress for bridesmaids. Does anyone have any pics of real life bridesmaids wearing this dress or something similar? TIA!

I absolutely love it and do not think it is too much for a bridesmaids dress. I think it is very elegant.

There was a group of girls trying that dress on while I was trying on weddings gowns. They are stunning on!

Re: Has anyone used this bridesmaid dress?

FYI -

I have seen threads in the past about this dress, lots of girls have used it...they said (two different threads) that the pick ups were falling out all night and it looked horrible. I don't know if someone stepped on the dress or it just fell out on it's own, but the girl recommended reinforcing the pick-ups...

I think it is a beautiful dress though!

I was wondering about that actually. My friend tried a similar dress on yesterday (not the same brand) and it was in this hideous shade of pink so that may have thrown me but when she came out I just started laughing. I told her I wanted to put a hula hoop in the bottom and call her Scarlett. It was like the Donna Martin prom disaster all over again. But I love the dress so I just wanted to see if anyone had any pics with the dress all nice and pressed so I could see if it looks better than it did yesterday. I love the dress!

Re: Has anyone used this bridesmaid dress?

It's my bridesmaid's dress. I asked about the pickups at their first fitting and they said it happens when BMs get fitted in high heels and then take them off and wear slippers or flats & step on it. My girls were all fitted with flats. I stood there and YANKED on the bottom of that dress pretty hard and NOTHING happened so I am not at all concerned

Mine are brown with a gold sash... They had their fitting Saturday but the pics are on my home computer

I love that dress, but it didn't look good on my bridesmaids.

Re: Has anyone used this bridesmaid dress?

I like the dress because I feel like its flattering on all body types. Here is a picture of my bridesmaid trying it on. I was going to get that dress but I decided on a different one with bustles/pickups.

Re: Has anyone used this bridesmaid dress?

that dress is stunning. i saw someone in it in the Euro Blue and it was amazing. however, i didn't choose it, because i didnt' want to take away from me. lol... seriously though, the BM dresses should never be fancier than yours, and in this case, for me, with the pick-ups it was.

Re: Has anyone used this bridesmaid dress?

It is very pretty, but my dress is kind of similar and I don't want it to be like my dress.

Re: Has anyone used this bridesmaid dress?

I have seen that dress on in a couple of bridal parties. I think someone who had a wedding at the Oheka had that dressin yellow. I think it is stunning.

Re: Has anyone used this bridesmaid dress?

My friend just wore this in a BP and she said every girls dresses fell out and they were pinning them up with safety pins.
Definitely have them re-enforced if you go with it!

Also, this is JMO but I think this dress would look better on taller girls, if you are around 5 foot, I wonder if it would look a bit squatty (if that makes sense??)

Love it though...
