I decided not to go for this dress in the end because the girls didn't seem too enthusiastic about it, and as the dresses cost 100pounds per dress anyway, I thought we might as well look for something as expensive, but which they actually like!!!
Well, St. Joseph helped us out un the end! (as he always does):
We've gone for the pink dress in the middle. It has a matching shawl which they will wear for Mass to cover themselves up!
Like I've mentioned before, I believe it is seriously seriously inappropriate to go to Mass half-naked with shoulders uncovered (I've even mentioned it in my wedding invites to the guests that they should not have uncovered shoulders or skirst shorter than their knee!), but I'm also not a great fan in general of the shoulderless style of the dresses above (even though they do have little straps). So ideally I would've liked the bridesmaid dresses to have permanent shoulders, so they will be modestly dressed even during the reception, and not just have a covering shawl for the Mass, but I have searched high and low for a dress with shoulders for them and there simply aren't ANY!!!!
Shops just don't supply dresses with sleeves any more, and online the only English-based website I could find was the one with dress that the bridesmaids weren't too enthusiastic about!
So I figure at least if they are decently covered up for the Mass, that is the most important thing,
We could've had the dresses made, but, between us, the bridesmaids & myself live in 4 different places, so coordinating seamstress visits etc etc wouldn't have been possible!
anyway, the deed is done!
aaaaaaargh! only 4 months & 12 days!!!!
