Note to self - Stop second guessing my own decisions!! After I placed the order for my bridesmaids dresses back in January, I started having second thoughts. I kept seeing all these other pretty dresses that I hadn’t seen before. Where the heck did they all come from?! My other main concern was color. I knew I wanted the Jasmine B2 B3308 dress in a dark red chiffon, but the Berry was too fire-engine red, and the Cranberry was too maroon (see old post). I decided to upgrade the fabric (an additional $23 per dress) from regular chiffon to Tiffany Belsoie Chiffon, which I was told was a deeper shade of irridescent red. So I placed the order and have had my fingers crossed ever since!Finally the dresses were delivered to my parents’ house yesterday! You better believe that I ripped into that box the minute I walked in the door. Perfecto! Here are pics of my adorable sister, aka my Maid of Honor. Can you tell that she LOVES it? She plans to wear it to a future Homecoming dance, YAY!

The color is actually deeper with a hint of shimmer (these darn point-n-shoot cameras never get it right, or maybe I’m just a bad photographer, haha). It needs to be taken in around the bust, and the hem taken up about three inches. Other than that, I think my sister looks stunning, and oh-so-grown-up (she’s turning 16 soon). It came with straps as well, so maybe we’ll add those on if she feels uncomfortable.

Netbride Review: A+

Not sure I can say much more than what’s already been said about this company! Netbride is fast, efficient, with great customer service as well as prices! I contacted the rep multiple times about fabrics, colors, pricing, and even had them hold my order at one point when I started having my second thoughts. They were very patient with me, and that was much appreciated! The dresses came out to $145 each (initial price was $122, upgraded fabric brought it up to $145), plus $20 shipping, and no tax. I think we probably saved about $40 to $50 per dress. They took three months to arrive, over a month earlier than the promised delivery date of May 30 (I’m sure they over-estimate the date to give themselves some leeway).
