More bridesmaid opinions

[Future Mrs Polka Dot]

OK, so to continue on the bridesmaid dress hunt, I really like this one! I showed it to my plus size bridesmaid and she loves it, and a few of my girls have seen it online and love it too! Just want some objective opinions. Also, note that it''s not shiny but more matte in person.

I really love this color (I''m trying to branch out away from the less flattering baby pinks which I love) - what do you all think of this color? Nice, too dark?? Thanks again!

I think you have found the one! It's beautiful! Perseverance has certainly paid off, great job on sticking to it and finding the perfect dress for everyone!

ETA: LOVE the pink! It's almost a jewel tone, really elegant!

ETA2: I love it so much, I can't stop looking at it. Love the cute wavy hem

ETA3: Would you mind telling us who makes this gorgeous dress?

I like that dress! I think the combo of the waist band and the a-line skirt will probably make it flattering, as long as all your girls are okay with strapless.

As for the color, it''s such a subjective thing. Personally, I''d probably never choose to wear that color, but that''s just cause I''m not a "pink" or "fuschia" type of person. But I''m not your bridesmaid so it doesn''t really matter!

If your girls are okay with it, I''d say go for it!

Thanks guys! I definitely think this is the one, too! Thank you all for your suggestions along the way!

Shimmer - you are too sweet! I like looking at it too! It is Jenny Yoo''s "Savannah" dress and it is Mulberry color - http://www.jennyyoo.com/eastern_shangtung10.html

YAY!!! So glad you like it! And I tried to make you guys proud by getting away from the little girly light pinks My girls are pleased (as much as they love the 8 year old look!)

FMPD, it''s perfect. jenny yoo is fantastic. was it in the range that your girls were comfortable with? or are you subsidizing?

congrats on finding the dress!!

p.s. i loved the jenny yoo showroom. such a random place, on like the 10th floor of some random building in midtown, but i was really impressed with how nice it was, and how many samples they had!!!

I think it''s perfect, and definately VERY rewearable!

You succeeded! Nice choice!

Beautiful. It looks like its cut so it would be flattering on a wide range of body types, which is really nice. I think the color is lovely and likely to be flattering to most complexions. nice choice

Thanks, guys! The girls really like it. Well, all except one, I think! She said she liked it but I could tell she wasn''t wild about it. She is the one who had never liked Jenny Yoo because they "look cheap", which I totally don''t get! But oh welll, she said she will be happy to wear anything and she is a trooper. I just like to please everyone so it slightly disappoints me, but I think it will be OK! I need to get over that!

Oh, Kara, to answer your question, yes I''m going to subsidize the dresses. I just think it would be too much to ask the girls to pay so I''m going to try to pay enough to bring each dress down to $190. I still worry that that''s a lot....When I asked them a while ago, they said the $200-250 range was fine with them, so I''m hoping this will be ok.

First of all, the dress doesn''t look cheap at all! It''s actually very tailored with the different lines and cuts, which always speak to me of a more refined, expensive dress (even if it''s reasonably priced!).

I sometimes think bridesmaid dresses look like something that would be better worn to prom...but this is a dress that doesn''t, and I love that! I think that the girls could probably get a lot of wear out of it too. Its formal, but not stuffy...it''s something they could wear to another wedding, business banquet or NYE.

I like the empire waste, and a plus sized BM will absolutely look lovely in it since it''s a forgiving cut.

The length of the dress is also very modern but still formal enough to transition from day to night.

The subtle sweetheart neck line will look great on various bust sizes, which is always a plus.

And the color is a TKO! I think pink is so pretty, and many woman can wear it nicely...and the shade of this dress is so pretty next to the mint (I''m assuming it''s another shade in your pallet).

As far as your BM being a stick-in-the-mud...remember, it''s hard to get a group of women to collectively agree on anything--let alone fashion. If you''re happy, majority rules. She''ll like it better once it''s fitted to her body and she is all glam''d out!

Aww, thanks Italia! You are so sweet and made me feel a lot better
