My Bridesmaid's Dress is Here!

I will be attending a wedding this September as part of the entourage. The bride and groom will be providing the grooms men's barong tagalog (formal wear in the Philippines worn with trousers and plain undershirt), while us bridesmaids will have to get our own in pastel colors of our choosing. We all coordinated so we will not be repeating the same colors and I ended up with light violet or baby lilac. Now I am short, I am only 5'0". The dresses should be floor length and most of the dresses online are yards too long for me. I tried looking for some dresses locally but they are too expensive for my liking. A friend suggested to look for ankle length or midi length dresses. I found the one online and true enough the ankle length dress is just the right long dress for me even if I wear heels. I found it in my size so there will be no need for alterations. And the best part is, I paid only $30 for a $120 dress!

Great savings and I bet the dress is pretty! They're paying for the guys outfits but not the ladies?

I like good deals! And yes they're paying for the guys' outfits. Maybe because it can only be bought in the Philippines. I know they can also get it here from special bridal shops but it would cost them dearly.

That's a bit of luck getting the perfect dress for such a bargain. Sounds like a very pretty color too

Thanks and it is I love it! It's very simple no embellishments, flowy and perfect for a summer wedding. I refused to have any blings because I want the bride to have all the attention.
