always a bridesmaid.

berry wedding

So I’m a bridesmaid in a wedding this fall and I need some help.  The bride is letting us pick out our own bridesmaid dresses (bless her) so we can pick out something that fits our style/body type etc. and that we really love.  She has given us some (very lovely) color/style inspo.  Sounds fabulous right?  Dream bridesmaid gig. Yadi, yadi… Except. I. CANNOT. FIND. A. DRESS.

The biggest problem is finding something in the right color family (think jewel berry tones) that’s also modest enough for my religious standards (think at least short sleeves, no low cut front or low back and at least knee length).  The bride would prefer a maxi length too, but it’s really up to us.

Guys, I thought I knew every single dress website there was to know (even ones no one knows about) but I cannot find a suitable dress.  Help!

Anyone have any ideas? If you’ve seen a gorgeous berry colored dress somewhere on the internet, or have a go-to website I would really, really appreciate the help. (So would my sisters/cousins/friends who can’t find dresses either.)

If I can’t find the right dress, I’ll probably end up dyeing one but I would rather not, I’m also considering adding sleeves to a sleeveless dress or layering, but again I would just rather find the right dress than have to jimmy-rig something.

I love this dress.  But it’s sleeveless and has a big cutout in the back.

A few favorites I usually go-to for these kinds of things:

PS. Isn’t this wedding inspo getting you excited for fall?? I can hardly wait! Eeek!
