I had to run some wedding errands yesterday (I had to see if a wedding dress I saw online was the one I wanted–it was!) and before going to my appointment I stopped at Forever 21. I honestly can’t stand being in that store. I typically make my F21 purchases online or early in the morning right as the store opens for business. I got to the store just as they opened (9am!) and I was able to browse in peace.
This particular Forever 21 has three floors (AHHHHHHHHHH!!! MY HEAD!) and the top floor has hundreds, maybe even thousands, of stuff on sale. I had no plans to dig through the stuff, so once I found a few racks of skirts I quickly sifted through them and found the skirt I’m wearing today.
Every sale item was buy one get another item free. The skirt was marked down to $8.99, but when I got t the register it was and additional 50% off.
So I scored the skirt and a Japanese inspired buttonless cardigan wrap for $7.49 total (above; I bought the belt at a thrift store three weeks ago). They had plenty of different skirts, but the majority of them were small and medium sizes. When I tried the skirt on I figured I had either lost weight or Forever 21 mismarked their skirt. This skirt actually fit! Since I’m on a mission to drop 20 lbs I’m hoping I lost the weight!
This skirt is lightweight and will be great for summer. Woohoo!

Modest bridesmaid dresses: WHERE ARE THEY? I only have two attendants in my wedding (my sister and my awesome friend), and both ladies have agreed to wear what I suggest. However, I can’t find anything that I like! I thought about getting a dress made, but the fabric I like is WAY too expensive. David’s Bridal? Ugh. That place is my last resort.
eShakti: I haven’t found anything quite yet on the site that I like for my wedding.
Shabby Apple: My friend ordered her bridesmaid dresses through the company and the girls were not a fan of the fabric or the quality of the work.
So, I need your help. If you’ve been in a wedding let me know where you found your dress. Brides, what did you do about modest wedding dresses?
Speaking of weddings…check out the succulent plants I just purchased. They are gorgeous! You can read more about succulents on my wedding blog.

Heyy
I so love reading your blog. Keep at it – it’s so good!!! 
I know exactly what you’re going through with trying to find modest bridesmaid dresses – I went through that same ordeal. I bought my wedding dress & bridesmaid dresses from this place online. We got measured & the dresses came and were absolutely beautiful!!! Check this out: http://www.totallymodest.com

Thanks! I’m visiting the site now.

Lookin good Miz C! I recently bought a top and skirt at F21 and was also pleasantly surprised that they fit. Yay for weight loss!
Right? Go, weight loss!
I missed your Sunday best last week.
Glad to see you this week looking stylish as usual.
;o) I try my best to post every Sunday, but last Sunday an afternoon nap took prominence in my life!!
If you don’t find what you want on totallymodest, try the Latter Day sight: http://www.latterdaybride.com/modest-bridesmaid-dresses.php
I hope you find something you like very soon.
My niece is getting married soon, she found her dress at this sight and she also found her grad dress there.
Perfect. Thank you, Cindy!
You should check out Mary’s Bridal http://marysbridal.com/default.aspx
most of their dresses come with jackets. Also check out bridalco.com they have designer dresses at a really low cost…That’s where i found my maid of honors dress.
Vanessa, thanks! I’ve added the site to my list!
my first ever blog response. ha. =) i had my wedding dress made only because of my budget, but i would have loved one of these short, vintage styled dresses that can be cutomized. https://www.facebook.com/dollycouture
i’m not sure what style you like, but here is a “modest” bridesmaid dress site i haven’t seen mentioned here yet, http://www.adressyoccasion.com/.
this other formal dress site, http://www.dessy.com/ isn’t “modest”, but they have nice dresses you could use for inspiration for a custom dress or do the jacket/sweater thing over it. i think you should get them made if you can. you still have lots of time to figure it out and that way the dresses will be exactly what you want and what looks good on your bridesmaids.
MALIA! I am so honored that your first comment was here! YAY! I have heard of Dolly Couture and a friend chose a DC dress for her wedding dress. I’m going to go to DC and see if I can find some inspiration for bridesmaid dresses. I’ve heard of Dessy.com (haven’t visited in awhile, so thanks for the reminder) but not the other site.
Re: custom wedding dress..I REALLY wanted to have mine made, but ONCE again the fabric I wanted was out of control expensive.
Thanks, Malia!
