I'm very excited to be a bridesmaid in my cousin Ashley's wedding coming up in June, but I'm having a hard time deciding on a dress. I'm the only out of town bridesmaid and older than the rest so I'd like a dress that's elegant yet fun, age appropriate, and flattering. Not too stuffy and not too hoochie. Oh, and it should be comfortable and affordable. Is that too much to ask for in a dress? :) If it could mask my double chin that would be super!
I've purchased four and am trying to narrow it down. I thought it would be a good idea to get Ashley's opinion. Then my grandparents asked to see them. Then my mom. So here they are on my blog (weird?).
Care to vote?
Dress #1:
Dress #2:
Dress #3:
Dress #4:
The headless ladies in black dresses are a little strange, no?
I was too lazy to do anything with my hair. I wanted to get the best shots of the dresses.
xo,
Jess

dress #1. with #4 a close second.
That's funny! I was totally thinking #1 with #4 close behind...#1 neckline is really flattering, #4 is a little 'older'. And how cool that these are the choices! Never had a bridesmaid dress like that before!
Yes, I should have mentioned that Ashley was so sweet to choose black as the color and let us shop for our own. I might actually wear this dress again. :)
dress #4
I like #2 and #4
Yikes. I forgot to post here. I'm with Kendall. I prefer 1 and 4 to 2 and 3, but I especially love the neckline of 1. I agree with Jess that 4 is the most "preppy."
I think this is a great way to figure out what to wear, and Ashley is commended for allowing wide choice. You better wear this dress again, because all choices are good ones.
Oops, again. I don't really understand the profile thing. I wrote Anonymous's statement. Karen, mom of Jess, aunt of Ashley
#1 is my favorite but you look really good in all of them!!!! =)
I really like #2. My second choice is #4.
You look great in all of them though!

#1...Lou
Although I like #4 the best, I am afraid it is because it is what I would have worn when I was 25 (in 1969). I love the dress.
I will vote against #3 -- I don't think it flatters a young woman that I think is stunning!
#1 with #4 as a close second....you look great in them all!
I vote for #1 as my #1. #2 is my #2, #4 is my #3, and #3 is my #4. Good luck with your decision making! :)
It's Ellen, Ashley's cousin on the other side ;) I hope it's not weird that I asked her to forward your link to the dresses, lol, but I was curious (curious is a nice way of saying nosey haha) and I thought it was cute you were posting them. You've got a great selection of dresses and I don't think you could go wrong with any but I really like #1 & #4 the best! I should be seeing you soon, like lets say probably around June 19th :)
Oooh, I love this game!
I vote for #4, but #1 and #2 are close seconds. You have a great figure!

Love #1 especially the neckline!!! ~ I still need a dress too, and might be sending you all pics for voting, what a great idea!
#1 is my FAVORITE! very flattering.
I'm sure I'm too late to weigh in but, I will anyways ;o) LOL
Number 1 is definitely gorgeous and flattering as is number 4. It looks like number 1 has some detail I can't quite make out and number 4 may be a bit more simple.
Number 1 is my pick for the added flare of design and it made you look gorgeous not, that a potato sack wouldn't make you look gorgeous....that's just who you are.....gorgeous...inside and out.
....and the winner was????
