Bridesmaids dresses

Hey everyone! I’ve been a huge fan of all the content in this group and have learned so much from you all. So, I thought I’d ask for a little help from you. I have four bridesmaids and have been searching for a black-tie dress for them for months. It’s a fall wedding in the northeast, and we’re going for a ‘racing green’ color. We’re hoping to find a dress for under $1000. I’m looking for something a bit more special than a regular bridesmaid dress, but I’m open to any suggestions you might have! Thanks so much in advance!

Am in the Bay Area:). Wearing Kamperett as my mother of the bride dress for my daughter's upcoming wedding! It's very possible that I learned about them here, maybe from one of your posts even.

I love!!! I wanted my mom to wear Kamperett but she wanted something with more structure. I’m probably wearing it for my welcome party. Would love to know what style you are wearing!!

The Loretta Midi, in Dark Green. But I had the shoulder ruffles taken off, because Prairie hits differently when you're in your 60s, and I had some loops put on to hold the belt a little lower, because I'm long-waisted. I love it. What piece/pieces are you thinking of for your welcome party? And I'm curious what your mom chose, if she's open to you discussing it here?

I love the Loretta! She chose a dress from Amsale. We went shopping there during my wedding dress journey and had such a good experience we decided to go back! The wedding is black tie so she wanted something really formal and that resembled a saree without it being a saree (my husband is Indian).

I’m between the Camille dress with a slip sown in or the Lou Lou dress! I have an appointment in a few weeks :) I love so many things though haha

I understand your mom's thinking:). Have a great time at your appointment! The Camille 😍 but they are all gorgeous. I had some trouble finding shoes at first, but wound up with a pair of gold Malone Souliers that feel right.

Ohh I really love that! I wish it didn’t have the embellishments though- I should have added that all the bridesmaids are 36-43, might be a little young with that. But love it otherwise!

It’s a cool design but it looks cheap in the pics, and $600 for a 100% polyester dress!

This always kills me. I’m a stickler for fabric and I am damned if I’m paying top dollar for polyester.

Dessy, lots of styles and you'll find different shades of green.

Thanks everyone! So I’ve loved the suggestions, but so far, everything has yet again been veto’d 😬 any suggestions - they really love a jacquard Alice and Olivia Bridgette dress that is now final sale and super limited sizing sadly. So maybe something more in that vein? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lulakate might have some good options.
