I chose the Georgette fabric because the wedding is in July and the church doesn't have AC. I got the beading and a long sash - the dress is eggplant with short sleeves and a full ball gown skirt. I think it will be very nice. I'm going to get some nice shiny silver heels to go with. Yeah, the bride looked at that site also - if she didn't find anything locally, she was definitely going to order from there. They have a blog and customer comments page. Plus, I googled them - they get fantastic reviews and are apparently VERY willing to help and/or meet your needs. Glad you like them! I get my dress tomorrow - woo! Right?

That site is AWESOME!!! I wish I'd known about it when I was looking for my dress!!!!!!!!!!!! TBS, we no longer need to go to Dearborn Heights and look for bridesmaid dresses to be built up...I will still go to Vesna for my alterations, but there's no way she's going to be able to hook us up that inexpensively. HOLY COW, Ma!!!!!!

While my dress was off-the-shoulder, it was long-sleeved for real. Hook-on sleeves sound incredibly uncomfortable. I did check out David's, just to get an idea what I liked. You know, you might do well to check out the JCPenney catalog for your bridesmaid's dresses. My sister got married eight years ago and that's where we got 'em. I haven't looked since then, though...

Julia - you're absolutely right. The way around that, IF the dress vendor is amenable (the ones who service David's are not, but others usually are), is to order extra fabric along with the dress. That way it usually even comes from the same dye lot. Thanks for the tip, Ma!

If you go to a regular store like Jo-Ann Fabrics. I think jackets would be look nice though.

It was affordable, and I got to choose the top (sleeves! Woo!), the bottom (ballgown), beading, etc. It was under $200 and I LOVE IT! :) Well, I don’t know your tastes, but I found my MOH dress at http://www.cocomyles.com.

She may be able to sell us something that can have sleeves added to it. That's currently set for late next week, but hey, better then than in September... :-p Julia,

Do the bridesmaids have to wear sleeves or could they instead wear like little jackets? You have at least some more time for bridesmaid dresses.
