Ann Taylor Tulip Jacquard Dress http://www.anntaylor.com/

The other day, I tried on my bridesmaid dress for an August wedding and was pleasantly surprised to find that although the dress had been tailored for someone else, it fit me perfectly! Before the wedding some minor modifications will need to be made, such as removing some cream accents added to it by its owner, so that it will match the other bridesmaids' dresses. A wrap of sorts is in order, and right now we are planning to make them out of light green shimmer organza. The stiffness of the new fabric is giving us a little trouble right now, since it resists draping softly around the shoulders and instead stands up high at the neck. Perhaps washing it will help, and if not, we may decide to tailor the wraps to a more fitted shape. The bridesmaids will also be wearing simple veils of white tulle edged in green satin ribbon. We have decided to add a sash to define the waistline of the dress a bit more, most likely in a coordinating shade of green, either of satin ribbon to match the edging of the veil or organza to match the wrap. White shoes will finish off the bridesmaid's outfit. Since the wedding colors are green, white, and yellow, the bride has been thinking about having her maids carry small bouquets of daisies. These dresses will look perfectly elegant for my friend's summer wedding!
