Bridesmaid Dress Inspiration

I’m only having three bridesmaids, so finding dresses should be pretty easy. J.Crew, Anthropologie, even Macy’s have affordable and cute options. Here are some dresses that could work for bridesmaids –

Camilla Dress – I kind of love the “orange peel” color online, not sure how I would feel about it in person. Don’t you think J.Crew stores should stock at least one of each of their formal dresses so you could at least see them in person before spending $250 online?
Ivory Sophia Dress – Paired with a yellow sashes.
Rain in Spain Shift – Really vintage with a cute, cut out back.
Taffeta Party Dress – Only $68.
Gryphon Tank Dress – Such a rich yellow color!
Calypso Dress – Satin wrap dress would be universally flattering and with a 1940’s feel.

I agree that JCrew should stock the dresses! They will quickly send you good-size swatches, though. And our experience with them was great, all of the girls loved their dresses, they were well-made and true to size.

I wore the ivory Sophia (long version) as my wedding dress and it was heavenly…such beautiful fabric and so comfortable. JCrew does a good job with easy returns in the stores if you end up not liking the dresses. The orange color is fantastic but might not work with all skin tones.
