Hi Everyone,

 

If anyone is like me, you've all done tons of research on dresses.

I originally wanted the Victoria Secret convertible dress in grape jelly but I was too late and it was sold out crybaby2.gif

 

I love the deep purple colour. I found this pic on the web (somewhere but can't remember). It's sort of the style I'm looking for -- short, light weight, wearable again!

 

If anyone has ideas of where to find something like this, huh.gif?

That is a beautiful dress! I also wanted the convertible dress and they were sold out of my colors. I tried for weeks to find a replacement...it was soo hard to find the style and color I wanted. Anyway, that doesn't help you! :-)

 

- try local bridal shops and general dress shops. Because they have seen just about every style dress out there they can probably find something VERY close to what you are looking for if not the same dress.

 

- There are some on this forum that have found places in china and india that will make any knock off dress from a picture. I did not go that route so I don't have any advice.

 

- I got so frustrated looking for my dress that I contacted a designer and having them custom made. He took pictures of dresses I liked - added his design touch and my BM dresses were born. This was not an expensive option. So it depends on budgets. If you would like his information then let me know.

 

-Oh I just thought of another option for the convertible dress...I didn't use them because they did not have my colors...AGAIN! :-) www.TwoBirdsdresses.com

There are dressmakers on etsy.com that can make the convertible dress but why pay as much as they charge when you could purchase the designer version.

Ok so I totally know where your coming from...well, kind of. I wanted the convertible dress from victoria's secret...and it actually Is my BM's dress (in cobalt) BUT while on my serach I DID find afew different convertible dresses on the market.

 

#1 Convertible Infinity Bridesmaid Wrap Dress by erinleighheart[]=tags&includes[]=title

 

#2 twobirds bridesmaid (abit more $$$$)

 

Those were the best ones I could find. There is also one out through Avon but I am not able to find it on their website. I know its not the purple dress you showed in the picture above but it is another convertible dress so I thought it might help...hope it does!!

That sucks you can't get the convertible dresses ordered from VS as that's what my bm's wore and they all loved their dresses! My suggestion, depending on how many dresses you need, is to check on ebay and see if you can find them. I'd been debating about adding another bm to our wedding party and finally decided that I really wanted to but of course the colour of the dresses wasn't being made anymore. We lucked out and found the exact size and colour available through ebay and it was still a brand new dress.

thanks !
Right now there are some on Etsy.com that are similar to the VS ones.
Question for you... did you find the dress "dressy" enough for the wedding?
did your BM's re use the dress?
That's my biggest thing, I don't want them to have to have a dress that they won't wear again... It just seems like such a waste to me...
Thx

Oh the dresses were perfect for the wedding! They were nice and light weight which was great in the heat (and dried quickly in the rain!!) and I know at least a couple of them have already worn their dresses for something else in the last couple months. I was of the same opinion that I didn't want them buying dresses they would never wear again but all my girls agreed these ones would definitely get worn a lot. I think the dresses were definitely dressy enough for our wedding (which I should admit was a bit more casual than some anyways) but there were tons of compliments all around so it's not something I would stress over at all unless you're going super formal.

maybe check out nordstrom... I love the sort by color option, plus they have great returns and dresses are a little more affordable (usually) than wedding shops.

Too bad this wasn't in dark plum because it's very close to the dress you posted above!

Rachel,

Those are beautiful dresses, thanks for posting them. I'll try that site.

I do like the light purple one, and it is too bad it's not darker.

love the wedding pic, .. see you're vacationing soon - have fun!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
