Very pretty! I am also going for the Lagoon or Cloud for my bridesmaids. It’s such a pretty color.

too cute! I love the color combination and the cut of both of the dresses!

That is so pretty. I love the color, but would also be interested to know silk or synthetic.

This is the exact same dress and color my bridesmaids wore for my wedding this past September! I found this dress and based my color scheme on it.

Word of advice, have your bridesmaids (or you) get the dresses professionally pressed before the wedding. On my wedding day, some of the dresses were a little wrinkled after being inside the bag for so long. So some of the bridesmaids tried to steam the dresses by hanging them in the bathroom and turning on the hot water. In the end, the dresses ended up getting these hideous wet spots that don’t dry the same color as the rest of the dress. My day of coordinator had to scramble to find a 1 hour dry cleaners that was opened on a Saturday.

Hi Miss Plum~

I was just the MOH at a wedding and had this EXACT dress. We chose custom colors for the fabric and had them specially made through JH. All of the BM’s were measured and the dress shop recommended that we all go up a size which we did, knowing that you can get dresses taken in but not out. EVERY SINGLE DRESS came in too small. Two of the girls had to have theirs re-made as they were both the same size dress and both totally different. Ultimately we had a horrible experience, but I haven’t heared of others with the same story. If you let the dress out (there was extra fabric in the seam allowance) there are ugly holes all down the lining - one of the BM’s did this without talking to the Bride and was shunned for her mistake - the dress was hideous after the alterations. I chose to suck it up (literally) and the dress literally cut off my circulation and I had to be treated for Oxygen deprivation the Monday and Tuesday after the wedding (seriously). Another girl also passed out at the reception while dancing from what she claims was a too tight dress, (we think it was the liquor though ).

Yes, the dress is gorgeous and universally looks gorgeous on everyone, but this was ultimately the most expensive mistake we made.

My recommndation - go UP TWO sizes so that you don’t have BM’s passing out.
