Bridesmaid Dress fail. Dusky pink dress? Anyone?

*Mini*, 12 of May of 2011 at 20:04 Posted on Planning 0 24

So after the diaster which was the Birmingham dress lady I thought I had found the dresses I wanted in a concession in good old Dotty P's of all places. BM's all like them which is a bonus.

Went down before work this morning to try and get them. They dont have the size 10, and only start from a size 8 so no use to my teeny tiny BM. Spoken to the concession manager and they wont be able to get a 6 at all, they just dont make them.

So Sunday sees me off to the nearest mega shopping centre to drag my only poor local BM round a million shops....anyone seen a dusky pink bm dress in thier travels?

    Oh no thats such a shame :-( They looked really pretty too...

    Haven't seen any specifically, but H&M seemed to have a fair bit of dusky pink in when I was last in there a while ago, so might be worth a look in there?

    Edited to add: Just found these two on the website...

    Roughly how much are you looking to spend per dress?

    Was the DP one that you flashed as an alternative in another thread? It would be a shame not to get them they were beautiful.

    Have you thought about getting the 8 and having it altered for the size 6 BM? You could prob order the size 10;

    Could you not have one of the larger ones altered? I am doing just that after finding the perfect bridesmaid dresses in BHS (chiffon maxi dress in purple for £48 each! Bargain!) I needed 3 x 12 and 1 x 10, I could only get a size 14 so I bought them all in the size 14 and an alteration shop has confirmed they can alter them. Just a thought.....

    There's a few for you to be looking at - if none of those spark your interest I'll have another look when I've finished my tea

    I have these for my three. They are from H&M, brought about 6 weeks ago for £29.99. They come up quite small so my bridesmaids have all had to go up a size. I have then brought some ivory material for £3 and I'm going to have that sewn over the black bands so they all have ivory sashes.

    I like!!!!

    the problem I have with that is I have a size 14 BM who struggles to get into HM clothes- its her I am taking with me Sunday so I could get her to try stuff on then I suppose.

    One of my bridesmaids is curvy and busty, she had to go up a size but the dress still looks great on her. I'd definitely give H&M a try and see what your BM likes and what fits her nicely.

    I ordered my dusky pink bm dresses from www.elliebridal.co.uk

    Very good value and lovely quality dresses.

    If you are looking to buy them in the high street then Debenhams have these:

    http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_008010414506_-1?breadcrumb=Home~txtpink+dress

    Another option is to get the dotty p dress and have it taken in?

    Oo Mrs C you have found some lovely ones!

    If you have any boutiques that stock Saint Tropez clothes near you they do a lovely dusky pind dress with beading detail under bus but is similar shape to the dotty p ones you flashed I think they were about £65, they are really nice my sis has got them for us BMsat her wedding.

    Other than that there are loads in high steet shops I got mine from Urban outfitters (they were in the sale for about £30 last time I went in too)
