I'm so glad you went with the convertible style!!!! I think your girls will be so happy when they wear them in the styles that best suit their body types. Congrats on checking off one more thing on your To Do List!

If you can, I would do the test dress thing on ebay - if you're bridesmaids are in the same city as you. Good luck!

I do have 2 bridesmaids in the same city so that might be an option.
I've got a cousin in the states so I might see if they can accept stuff for me and then either ship it or bring it up for me!

Thx again for the info/tips.
Enjoy the dresses.
cheers

I also was looking at VS dresses for my bm's but they weren't sure they wanted them bc they said sweat would show more with the jersey knit fabric....just a thought

I think it depends on the colour of the dresses, but they are so light and flow away from the body that I doubt that A - you would be sweating a lot and B - it would show through.

Before I ordered them I found a dress in the same colour on ebay for $70 that I bought as a test dress so the girls could check it out and then decide if it was for them. Well they all have their dresses now and can't stop trying them on to figure out which way they want to wear them!

This is the exact same dress my BM's bought too! And in the exact same colour! They all LOVE this dress and have definitely found more than 7 ways to wear it for sure! We've also got a mixture of body sizes/types and it seems to work across the board.

Haha, plus even though they're all wearing different styles for the ceremony itself (I told them to pick whatever style they each liked best), as the night goes on they're going to switch it around so for an hour they'll all be in one style, then change into another style to mess with everyone a little I can't wait to see how they pull it off!

We got a dark colour so I don't think sweat will be a problem but this material isn't a typical jersey knit like you would think of a t-shirt being. It's a much finer, kind of silky material so it might not be as clingy and hot as a normal jersey would be!?
