Bridesmaid dresses from Amazon?

Samantha, on November 18, 2017 at 4:01 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19

Ok, so again, live in Alaska, formal attire is slim pickings and way overpriced. even the nearest Davids Bridal is 400 miles away. So amazon is looking pretty good!!

My problem is I have 4 bridesmaids who are VERY different shapes,

Sister is short and bigger

best friend is my height and solidly built

other friend is taller than me and a string bean

and the other friend is taller and athletically built

and I'm dead set on them wearing the same dress. Not a fan at all of the "same color different dress" look.

Since going with the Tiffany color scheme, I've narrowed it down to these 2.

The first I like because it has gems on it which makes it meld well with the tiffany

but the other has lace which goes with what I'm looking for in a wedding dress.

They're both on Amazon Prime, should I just order both, try them on all 4 at the same time and just send back the other?

    I would order both of them for sure and have the girls try them on and then you can always return them if needed. That's the great thing about Amazon is they have such a great return policy

    I second that. I ordered ours through Amazon and had really good luck.

    Prefer the second one. We ordered our junior bridesmaid dresses on amazon and loved them. We also got our flower girl’s dress there and she was going to be in between sizes so we ordered 2 and sent back the one that didn’t fit.

    Definitely read all the reviews! I would order both if you could. I think more so than weight variation, chest size variation could be an issue with bm dresses!

    We ordered ours from a site I found on Amazon (ended up ordering through their actual website, but exactly the same stock as on amazon). Just make sure you read all reviews and check the size chart they provide (not the standard amazon size chart).

    My results with ordering clothes have been a little hit or miss with amazon, but they do have an EXCELLENT return policy. I will be ordering my girls' dresses from Azazzie. They have a very good trial program where I was able to pay like $10 a dress to just try them on at home. I was able to make sure the shade of purple was correct and that I liked the way the dress looked and everything before deciding for sure. They also allow you to order the dresses in custom measurements so that theoretically your girls won't need to pay for alterations. (Some reviews did say they still needes minor alterations.)

    Anyway, if you're really set on the amazon dresses, I'd just order them all and return what you don't like. But you may also want to check out azazzie and do their home try-on thing.

    I was the same way!! All BM are different shapes and sizes. We got an empire style dress and it looks great on all of them!!

    Maybe order a dress, see how the quality is and go from there. You can always send back.

    Azazzie is probably better set up for you. I would definitely give everyone a try-on day where you can compare them.

    I had both my bridesmaids in the first dress, except they got them in the lavender color. They were really great quality for the price. They run about one size small though, and have quite a bit of extra length, at least for someone who is 5'7"

    I'm ordering my bridesmaids dresses from Amazon as well. I also bought a lace wedding dress and had originally thought I waned my girls in something lacey as well to flow together but my MOH pointed out that it may make my look less forward and focused upon. I decided to go with something other than lace for my girls.

    Also, I REALLY like the first dress you posted.

    The first dress goes beautifully with your theme and looks of higher quality than the second. But, I digress. Yes, I would order both and see how it looks.

    I would order them both and decide after getting them and trying them on.

    Both the string bean and my sister were in my previous wedding in the same dress and it had an empire waist and they both looked good. which is why I chose these two dresses because the cut is similar. if they are uncomfortable then they will let me know, but I don't see that being an issue.

    Older sister and I live in Western NY while younger sister lives in Alaska. Like OP said, pickings are slim in terms of shopping (she already had a problem with just buying a cell phone plan). I've been looking on Etsy, Amazon, and local bridal boutiques to find appropriate dresses before my wedding. She will only be around for Christmas and my wedding, so we need to find dresses for everyone QUICKLY!! I have length in mind, but I want to have infinity/convertible dresses for everyone so they can style them any way they want!

    Do you have Prime? Try Amazon wardrobe and you can see how they fit before you buy

    My sister ordered her dress from Amazon and they cancelled the order because the vendor took too long to ship. She just reordered and should be getting it this week (fingers crossed!!). So keep an eye on shipping times and give yourself plant of time to reorder if necessary.

    Also voting for getting both and returning what you don't use. Have you found your wedding dress yet?

    I've found what I hope to be my dress, but I have a strange work schedule and haven't been able to make the 400 mile drive to David's Bridal to try it on.

    I'm leaning towards just ordering both. I've gotten good arguments from both sides of it, so I think its going to just come down on what looks best on all of them.

    Amazon Prime is a necessity is Alaska
