Ask a Question - Do you like it? Bridesmaids dress - MELINAMANAGO's Pink Wedding by Color Blog

Here is the bridesmaids style dress I've chosen, except it will just go straight at the bottom and won't have a train at the back.
We're having them made by a dressmaker so here is the material I've chosen as well. Its a champagne pinky colour. The lace will then be put on over the top like an applique. The lace will just be at the top around the bust then around the gathering in the middle (like where is is in the picture)
The dressmaker said it will be fine for her to make and the cost is not even that much, since we're getting all the material first. Since I'm having 6 bridesmaids we've been able to save by having them made.
The style and colour will all suit the girls and I just love the lace.
The only thing I want to change about the dress in the picture is I want it to have more of a sweet heart neckline.
This is exactly the colour I had in mind, it was so hard to explain what I wanted because its not a colour thats seen often. But once I saw this material swatch it was exactly it. Champagne pink even with a hint of a little mocha. I hope it turns out ok, I can see it in my head but I hope it comes together that way

The dress is beautiful! I definitely think it's a nice pic. Just make sure that your dress, whatever you pick, isn't going to get outshined by your BM dresses. The focus on that day should be on you and not on your BM - not saying that your BM's should wear ugly dresses. If I were a BM I would want a dress like this!

If I were a bridesmaid, I would not want to wear a dress like this. I would feel uncomfortable in something so fancy, since I wasn't the bride.

It was really important to me that the girls have something they felt they could reuse. The question we were asking ourselves during our dress shopping trips was "would I wear this to church".

I know that people won't get you and the bridesmaids mixed up, nor is bridesmaids wearing white (or in this case off-white) a bad thing, it's just not for me.

But, if you're having a really fancy wedding, this could look really classy.

Personally this is a little fancy for my taste. It's a beautiful dress, I just think it's a little over the top for bridesmaids. I can't tell yet from your blog what type of wedding you're having, so I can't say one way or the other if this dress will work. I do agree with JoyfulSong, your wedding has to be pretty fancy to pull this off. I think it will be perfectly lovely as long as everything works together.

When I saw the title "Ask a question, do you like it?" I thought I was going to read about your bridal dress!!!! It's a beautiful dress. But I feel it'smore fitting for a bride not a bridesmaid no matter what color you choose. It's VERY fancy. When picking out my bridesmaid dresses I really wanted them to be able to wear the dress again, but most importantly me comfortable. Honestly, as a bridesmaid, I would not be comfortable in this dress. If you are having a very formal, fancy wedding then this whole look could really work.

Yes I thought about that, the dress does look very fancy in the photo but really its not going to be that full at the bottom, its just going to be straight with no train and not even half as much gathering. I want my bridesmaids to look hot! its not about outshining me, I want all of us to look and feel special
The wedding will be formal and fancy
Thanks for the feedback
