Ordered some (possible!) bridesmaid dresses!

Amethyst, 6 March, 2009 at 08:24 Posted on Planning 0 9

My sister and I have ordered some dresses I love from Oli for potential bridesmaid dresses! I'm having 2 BMs - my sister and my best friend. Anyway, they are dresses I have been lusting after myself since before Xmas and look as if they will fit the bill as: they are blue, in budget, have straps (both need to wear a bra with straps for completely opposite reasons!) and they are just 'normal' 'party' dresses which I wanted instead of traditional BM dresses.

My sister is coming down this afternoon then we are going to best friend's for a trying on session! If they don't like them we will just send back and start looking again. I have heard conflicting feedback on the quality of Oli stuff so am keeping an open mind but I'm excited! Though slightly worried I am going to want the dresses for myself ....

Here they are:

    This is just they style I'm after but in green...every year you see loads, then the one time you want them they've vanished...although I'm probably being too impatient as a lot of the summer dresses aren't in the shops yet!

    Love the first one with the satin band.

    Thanks Tahdah! I think that is my fave too - just have to see how they look on the girls. What shade of green? I'll keep an eye out!

    They are gorgoues, I would be happy wearing them and you could wear them again easily.

    Very pretty. I like the simplicity of them.

    Love them both

    Like the second one best. Similar to what we wanted for my sister (CBM)

    Thanks all! I really wanted the first ones when I thought we would have a spring or summer wedding but what will it now being an autumn wedding I thought the darker ones would be better. My sister said I was mad and that I wasn't going to wear a darker dress so why have that logic!

    H2B wants this colour tie:


    So the darker ones would go better but then I don't mind having different shades of blue without it being 'matchy, matchy'.

    Anyway I shall report back when the dresses are here and have been tried on!

    Ok so the verdict is in! They tried them both and the 2nd dresses (the indigo ones) are by far the best on. They are both going to enjoy 'swishing' the dresses around on the dance floor - a la Baby in Dirty Dancing!
