    That dress is really pretty, a nice cut and a flattering style. Would suit many shapes and sizes, and is definitely wearable again after the wedding.

    My only concern with it, is that the floral print is very "now" (although still classic). If your wedding is now, then brilliant. But if your wedding is in a year or so, there might be another print that is on trend for that season that you could prefer nearer the time. But floral is, and always will be, a classic.

    It's a nice dress but I'd be a bit concerned about the length - it looks quite short?

    Looks a bit short to me also. Plus this is something that a guest could turn up wearing. Worth bearing in mind. X nice pretty dress though.

    I really like the dress, but I don't think it's particularly bridesmaidy.

    It is very pretty but also agree it looks really short - for me, too short to be a bridesmaid dress (tho maybe the model has 6 foot long legs?)

    Thank you for your comments.

    They are exactly the concerns I have!

    I ordered it to see what they look like in real and it is much longer - almost a knee length, plus the material is very nice and good quality. It is also quite puffy A line, which gives it more nicer look.

    It makes me like the dresses even more, but I need to decide before the time runs out to return them :/

    I have also tried to upload what it looks like in real life, but stubbled to find a way to upload photos from my computer on this forum.

    When you hit reply (not quick reply) - at the top of the box you'll see a range of buttons. Click on the one that looks like a film strip (to the left of the tree) and select the file from your computer directories.

    As you can see the light in the room is not great but took one for the daylight as well so you can see the texture.

    Thank you so much x

    I stand by what I said. Beautiful dress (would wear it myself) but I don't consider it very bridesmaidy.

    I think it's gorgeous, i would wear something like that which would be my concern about other guests wearing it. I could see, though, with the right accessories and flowers (if you're having those) that dress would look really lovely.

    What do your bridesmaids think, and how many are you having? Probably not going to look different enough if you only have one or 2, but if you have a few it'll look lovely. And if they like it, that's great!

    Well, have not asked them yet, but I think its a no no based on the opinions from everyone. I wanted an impartial opinion so that it would be honest. Plus even if they like it, the guests might think that its too casual/short like most people did, so I would rather not risk it.

    Anyway, thank you so much for your help x

    Personally I still think it's a bit short for a BM dress. If you decide not to have them I would totally keep that one for you - looks lovely!

    I'm sorry but I think it's a really odd cut. The back of the dress looks way too puffy. I think if the bottom of the dress could be taken in somewhat so it was more of an a line then it would look much better.

    It's a very pretty dress, but it's not "almost knee-length" and it would look dreadful on me as a tall but slightly chunky girl. Depends on the height/shape of your BMs, I think.
