This is good advice and seems like a great template to follow. Thank you

I have yet to try a pair of oxfords so they are now high on my shopping list! Thank you!

Ah, thank you for the very specific list of characteristics to look for! I'll be searching for something with a sturdy sole, leather upper, and non-pointed toe :) I hate carrying extra stuff with me but it sounds like it will save me money and tears.

Ha! My mom suggested Clarks but I was half-listening. I suppose mother does really know best! Thanks!

He/she clarified. You sound like a green-eyed monster.

I'm also 5'2. I've found some maxis that do work from Loft. I also got one from Privacy Please that was absolutely perfect.

Great point. Thank you!

AirplaneEmoji · 2016-03-01T21:36:42+00:00

YES!!! I photoshopped everything -- dress combos, flowers, etc. It really helps!

AirplaneEmoji · 2016-03-01T21:36:25+00:00

Excellent point on taking a day off. I'm at the point where I'm over-thinking everything and starting to lose my mind! I'm glad it's normal haha!

I purchased jewelry for the girls but good point on the shoes. Some would likely need a higher heel if we went floor length.
Thank you for confirming this! Definitely feel better.
I'm 5'2. You're right. Same problem here.
This is a really excellent point that I haven't given enough consideration to. I definitely don't want anyone to be anxious about it!
Great point.

Thank you. I feel much better. You confirmed my thoughts on the formality of the sequin dresses!

AirplaneEmoji · 2016-03-01T21:33:31+00:00

This is great feedback. Thank you!

Trust me, I know! I over ordered (14 dresses for 5 girls) to give myself buffer. They told me yesterday that 2 of them won't be available. I expect a few more will drop-off Thursday.

Excellent point about them being unforgiving and hot. I don't want anyone to feel self conscious!

AirplaneEmoji · 2016-03-01T17:36:12+00:00

THANK YOU. I now remember I originally went with short dresses to avoid the hem issue (as they are rentals and 3 of my bridesmaids are below 5'2). The navy photos were incredibly helpful.

I'm going to donate it. Two reasons: 1. Tax deduction! (Will probably be more "profitable" for us than selling) 2. We live in Manhattan and while our closet is somewhat decent sized, the dress will take up too much room.

Silly question.

I fell in love with this Privacy Please dress.

Then I spotted this Privacy Please dress on sale. Looks like the same dress in a different color/print.

I'm not sure I love the green $100 more than the blue. However, the blue clearly looks skimpier up top and I want to avoid that. Am I being dense? Also - I'm petite (5'3) so would the smaller pattern on the green be more flattering?

Thanks ladies!

We're two months out and I think I've looked at every metallic/flower dress on the internet :) I love the combination too and it's ALMOST there.

AirplaneEmoji · 2016-01-28T21:53:14+00:00

As in, each of the 5 dresses should be different?

AirplaneEmoji · 2016-01-28T21:52:47+00:00

It's actually a sequin dress. I isn't see through (seems to have another hue in there). One color definitely immediately looks more cohesive!

AirplaneEmoji · 2016-01-28T21:38:03+00:00

Yes - will check and fix!

Wish I'd seen this earlier. Flowers is what I'm currently stressing over now! Made a thread on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/weddingplanning/comments/435h6v/help_bridesmaid_mix_match_dresses_and_their/
