Is It Just Me?

March 5th, 2009 @ 3:14 pm by Mrs. D'orsay

Has anyone else really honed their product hunting skills after wedding planning began? Ever since Miss Powder Puff posted about rehearsal dresses I fell in love with this dress for my bridal crew.*

Is It Just Me? :  wedding baltimore bridesmaid dress 561237

(available here)

It takes forever to ship, so I know I’m not the only one coveting this lovely number. Since then I’ve become an avid stalker of photos of this dress. So lucky me when I saw it posted on Snippet & Ink!

Would that be enough to satiate my hunger? Heck no! So I headed to the photographer’s blog (Jonathan Canlas) to view more photos of the dress. Since all my girls haven’t received them, I’m desperate to get a feel for how they fit on non-models, what shoes people have been paring with them, how different bouquets look with the dress, etc. So, I was ultra excited to see photos like this one that show that the dress doesn’t magically become a tea-length dress on shorter ladies (I hate that).

Or this one, showing how lovely white bouquets look with the deep purple dress.

Anyone else on the hunt to see your ideas in real life?

*I know I already said we picked the dresses… but then I couldn’t resist after I saw these!

I know what you mean about the honed internet skills - I couldn’t find photos of my dress anywhere … until eventually I hunted them down on a wedding photographer’s blog!

I absolutely love the dress, and it looks so much better on those bridesmaids. The details are beautiful, and the deep purple is to die for.

That’s so funny that you just posted about this dress–I just sent pictures of potential BM dresses to all of my BMs like three days ago, and this was one of the contenders! I actually had sort of ruled it out as being too casual, but now that I see it “in action,” it looks great!

Thank you so much for posting this!!

btw, I love the idea of hunting down pictures of real people in dresses. But how would you go about finding them?

LOVERLY!!! the floral details are superb, and the rich color is excellent too. (Much better than the earlier choice…) not to mention these will surely be worn again!

Hahaha, this is the dress my bridesmaids will be wearing. I had no idea it was going to be so popular!! I also have pictures of how they fit on non-model girls, if you are interested.

Wow, I’ve thought about getting this dress just for myself but it looks great as a bridesmaids dress.
