The dress that I bought this weekend from Anthropologie! I suppose it’s a bit early to find the “shower” dress, but it’s one more thing off of my list, which is splendid! I don’t think that the images on Anthropologie’s website are very clear (the colors are really pale), so I took some of my own this morning:
Isn’t it adorable? Here’s some detail shots of the front:
I love the grosgrain ribbon and the pleating detail at the waist!
And the back is racerback style, which is kind of unexpected. I love the second bow in the back!
Here’s the link to the dress on the Anthropologie site.
What’s sweet? I looove the color combination, and think it is perfect for the bridal shower! I also think it would make a great bridesmaid dress for a garden wedding in late spring or summer.
What’s short? It’s not really that short, but I think I’m going to do some modification to the hem by adding a pale pink crinoline or ruffle. I think the dress could use more of that lovely pink. Also, adding to the hem would make it tea length, which would make it even more attractive to me. If I can’t find a cute bolero to go with it, I might add another sewing project onto the list! 
Have you found the perfect dress for your bridal shower?

I dont think a bolero is necessary for this cutie!
I love Anthropologie and this dress is just one more reason why! Love the color, love the bow, love the style! 
I love it! In the year before my wedding I bought 4 dresses from Anthropologie for our engagement party, showers, and rehearsal dinner! I love them but my wallet does not
Don’t wear a bolero - it will obscure the lovely detail in the back! Love this dress.
SO ADORABLE! I can’t wait to see pics from your shower - you know when you have it
@M: @Shopaholica: I agree, it’s perfect without it, but my shower will probably be in March and I am always chilly! I’ll have to find some sort of sweater-shrug-wrap of some kind to keep me warm.
It’s adorable. You have a very unique — retro — style that I love. Perhaps a shawl instead of a bolero?
Is there anything in your wardrobe that you haven’t altered in some absolutely adorable way?
Oh gosh, I’ve been eyeing this dress on the website (no Anthropologie in my town) for weeks. Its too cute–good choice!
Cuuuuute! And so definitely very you. I bet it’s even more adorable on, for some reason I don’t think that hanger is doing that neckline justice!
Its PERFECT! and so you. I love it.
Don’t fret, I bought my rehearsal dinner dress in September for our MAY event
[...] half off” sale, so I ordered another pair, but in a pinkish taupe to match the bow on the dress I will wear to my shower! The Grace style would have been perfect with this dress, but I didn’t find them flattering on my [...]
