Dressing the Sis

May 19th, 2010 @ 10:40 am by Mrs. Seashell

I pulled several dresses at the bridal shop for my MOH to try on when I was home over Christmas. I made sure the dresses I pulled came in the Dessy Pantone “Smashing”, which was assigned to my sister as well as one other bridesmaid. I’d initially hoped to put them in Lela Rose dresses, but no one seemed to like them. Sad day for me. I thought they were adorable. (That’s what you get for letting your girls pick their own dresses.)

Dress One. This is the exact color my sister will be wearing, and was my first choice pick when I pulled dresses. Since she’s pretty slim and boy cut, I liked the layers and flower to give her shape a little extra “oomph”.

Dress Two. Supposedly in person it looked great. The bust line is definitely more flattering than the first dress’.

Dress Three. I think is pretty fun, but not quite the look we’re going for.

Dress Four. Apparently the joke of the day. I don’t think it’s hideous, but it doesn’t say “fall wedding”.

Dress Five. The color is definitely throwing me off, because as is it screams “first communion”. In the purple it could be a contender.

So which one won out? Make a guess! Which one do you like best?

I like Dress 2 (I’m a sucker for flowy chiffon) or Dress 5! Can’t wait to see what you girls picked!

I love dress #2. Dress #1 seems a bit “old” for your sister. It more says MOB or MOG to me. She looks great in #2…#5 is my second.

I love dress 5 on your sister… it fits so well and she actually looks the most relaxed in that one.

I like dress 2 as well. I also learned why the bride traditionally gets to chose the bridesmaid dresses! Having them pick it turned out to be a stressful disaster for me!
