They've both ordered #2, which seemed to be the favorite here as well. With the flash sale last night it came out to only $80 each! Hope they work out.<br /> We are thinking nude shoes, since they both have them already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832761 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 02:48:13 +0000 lyn* 832761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad - both #1 and #2 are quite lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832759 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 02:46:26 +0000 Suz 832759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colours!! And I also love the idea of letting them pick within these choices. This way they can try on -- maybe what works for one won't work for the other, or maybe they'd just like to look different! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832682 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 01:44:00 +0000 Angie 832682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colours in #1 and #2 totally work together! And I'm glad that you asked your sisters what they want to wear. Gorgeously Grecian! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832342 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 20:22:53 +0000 rae 832342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, yes, one of each would be fun! Just like in your collage, the different shades seem like they will be harmonious and also add a little depth and artistic flair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832283 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 19:02:55 +0000 Anonymous 832283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, they go. It will look really good. I actually like to use different tones of the same color for the events I have planned. It makes for a much more interesting composition, rather than if I use the exact same shade throughout. You can even pick a bit of the two colors for their bouquets, along with the ivories and the greens, if you want to unify them somehow.</p> <p>ETA: I just noticed your design vignette. That's exactly what I'm talking about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832265 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:35:11 +0000 Anonymous 832265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I definitely think 1 and 2 go together color-wise. I like that they're not exactly the same. One's brighter, one's more subdued. </p> <p>Do you think they'll choose the same one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832253 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:25:46 +0000 Diana 832253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so #3 is definitely out. </p> <p>They have said that they like both #1 and #2. I think I might just let them choose. As Zap says, there is no need for them to be wearing the same dress if they don't want to</p> <p>On a related note, do the colors of #1 and #2 go together? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832250 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:19:53 +0000 Anonymous 832250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832244 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:13:14 +0000 Thistle 832244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you asked your sisters?</p> <p>Me, personally, I would prefer #2. No need for special bras and such, and it looks like it would require less care throughout the event.</p> <p>I also think #2 is more universally flattering.</p> <p>Love your wedding colors, btw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832230 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:00:18 +0000 Anonymous 832230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832229 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:00:05 +0000 Glory 832229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 2 but I also like 1 quite a bit. Will 2 be too low cut? that is my only concern on a small frame, but you mentioned they might come in petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832220 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:52:35 +0000 Sona 832220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>another #2 fan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832214 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:47:57 +0000 amiable 832214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #2 - the color is great, and it doesn't scream "bridesmaid", so it might get more wear, plus it seems perfect for an outdoor, not-too-fussy affair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832209 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:40:31 +0000 christieanne 832209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Zap's idea unless you really want them to match - in similar colors they will coordinate but their personality will show through. Of the three dresses, I like #2 - it is simpler and seems less "cocktail" than the others which would be good for outdoor wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832205 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:39:03 +0000 MsMary 832205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow. I love, love love your wedding colors!</p> <p>If I were a bridesmaid I would have a strong preference for #2. It seems much less fussy than the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832201 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:36:25 +0000 Anonymous 832201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do they have to match? I would just allow them to pick, within the same color tone. It looks fresher that way.<br /> ETA: Sorry, I did not give my preference. I like #1 a lot but #2 is more universally flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832199 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:35:33 +0000 Kristin L 832199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both #1 and #2. Which one do you think your sisters will get more wear out of later? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832187 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:26:16 +0000 rachylou 832187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The J. Crew one kind of appeals to me, but I think the AT dress may be an easier dress in general to wear. Easier to throw a sweater over, etc. etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832178 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:19:21 +0000 Diana 832178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they like the first two. Actually one of them initially sent me a different J Crew dress that was strapless and looked way too prom to me. =P Both of them are skinnier and straighter than me, but both are also shorter than me. I like that the JC and AT both come in petites.</p> <p>ETA: Rae, I looked at that JC dress too but I actually have a very visceral poison reaction to that type of center front seam so it's a definite no for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832172 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:16:54 +0000 Amy 832172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you asked them what they'd prefer to wear? </p> <p>I like the look of the first two. The third looks fussy to me. I would be concerned about what sort of bra to wear with #1. I hate wearing strapless bras. I think I like #2 best. I just wish the color weren't quite that dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832171 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:16:24 +0000 rae 832171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are your sisters hourglassy and shortwaisted like you? I like #1 a lot because it does not have the wide banded waist. The strap placement could possibly make a bra more difficult... This one is kind of like #2 but without the big band in the middle.<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/wedding/Wedding_Bridesmaid/silkchiffon/PRDOVR~47993/47993.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/wedding/W...../47993.jsp</a></p> <p>I like how the layers and straps on #3 kind of mirror your dress... but then at the same time it is bombshelly and IDK I think I'd prefer for the bride's dress to stand out and be different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-bridesmaids-dresses#post-832167 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:10:51 +0000 Diana 832167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for my two bridesmaids, who are my sisters. They are both shorter/skinnier than me (ETA: also both younger than me). My wedding colors are plum/leaf green, and I think we are going to do plum for the dresses. Wedding is outdoors and my dress is not super formal, so I don't want anything too fancy for bridesmaids either. </p> <p>1. J Crew Lucienne dress in spiced wine. Is the one shoulder thing weird? Also kind of expensive. There's other styles in the same collection, is there one you guys like better?<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/wedding/Wedding_Bridesmaid/silkchiffon/PRDOVR~47995/47995.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/wedding/W...../47995.jsp</a></p> <p>2.

Hailey by Adrianna Papell in eggplant. I feel like this looks good on the model but might be too bombshell IRL. I know on me it would be. I think my sisters might prefer chiffon. The price is great though.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hailey-by-adrianna-papell-back-cutout-pleated-satin-dress/3378498?origin=keywordsearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=Eggplant&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>Any other suggestions?</p> <p>ETA: added an image with the wedding colors. </p>
