Oooh, I’m so happy right now. The bridesmaids dresses are purchased and the order is being processed as we speak!

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about my decision to go with David’s Bridal dresses. But then I decided David’s Bridal was too big of a hassle. My girls would actually need to get in their cars, get out of their cars, walk from their cars to the store, then things would need to be tried on, and finally ordered. Oh the effort! Also, I wasn’t convinced that the dress was really my style. It had the general look I was going for, but something wasn’t right.

I quickly moved on to other options that would appeal to a no-nonsense bride such as myself. As mentioned before, I have trouble ordering clothing over the internet. I usually like to touch the fabric and see things in person. So I knew I had to go with a company that I trusted. I had recently been cursing J.Crew left and right for teasing me with beautiful gowns and price tags that were out of my budget. Well, thank goodness, my eagle eye was out last week. For some reason, I was continually overlooking the J.Crew Sophia Short Dress. Price: $150. I had to do a double take, because I couldn’t believe there was a J.Crew dress within my BUDGET.

I was even more overjoyed a few days later when I got an email in my inbox stating, “J.Crew’s Secret Sale – 20% off orders of $175 or more”. Umm, heck yeah! My one bit of advice about J.Crew: if you can, wait around for their sales. They frequently offer fabulous online deals.

With the discount, I purchased the dresses through jcrew.com for $120 each plus shipping and handling. Here is a picture of the dress!! (Theirs will be in black).

    Oh, I was thinking about ordering that dress (and having it shipped to Cyd … haven’t asked her yet, but I suspect she’d be amenable to my plan). My problem is I’ve never been to a J Crew before.

    I can’t wait to see how they turn out on your girls!

    Thanks, friends. I feel like I made a good choice! It only took three or four bouts of indecision! 🙂

    This style is very much like my wedding dress (or at least how I hope it comes out) I think the style is very flattering on multiple body types. You got a great deal on them too!

    I only had a Maid of Honor and that is the dress she wore, only in brown! I bought her dress as my gift to her. I was really happy with the quality of the dress! Great choice, if I do say so myself! 🙂 I am going backwards here getting caught up on your blog!
