BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES

I got mine at Target just by chance. When my sister got married we got dresses from one of those dress shops you find in asian neighbourhoods. Way cheaper and they did the alteratiosn for free!

Don discount all bridal shops. Personally when I went dress shopping I gave up on the bigger chain store type bridal shops (like spurling etc) as i found them annoying and that the staff didn listen (and were all very young).

I visited a bridal shop in the suburb I work in (low socio economic area) that I probably wouldn have even considered having a look at and was so happy that I did. The little old lady (who was chubby and not a young size 6 with judgy eyes lol) asked me a few questions and then picked out 4 dresses for me to try. The 2nd I fell in love with.

So I say give the small family run stores a try! They normally stock or can get everything that the bigger stores can but the service is way better.

I doing the same thing. My BM are picking their own dresses, off the rack we were so dissapointed with the range available at formal stores. They all seemed to make my BM look like horrible clones! Not the look we going for!

We been looking (during the sales) at places like Wayne Cooper and Alex Perry. George is also another great designer, and you can find stockists online. I not sure which city you live in, but sometimes you can find great dresses in cute inner city boutiques Sexy Trouwjurken (sometimes at surprisingly affordable prices).

Good luck! You won regret going off the rack I think it important that Lange Avondjurken BM get to show a bit of individuality. After all, they should get to feel sexy on your wedding day too!

Definitely try Forever New!!! I have bought many dresses from there. They have an amazing range! If they don have a size you are after, give head office a call. They are happy to transfer the dress to a store closest to you or even express post it to your house. You can always get the dresses altered if needed too. I live in Sydney and I have used a dress maker before, who has said that she could do my two bridesmaid dresses made to hire for $100. You really need to look around as it pays off. Try the little asian bridal and dress shops, I have found their quality excellent!
