bridesmaid dress monopoly


so the (seemingly) unending hunt for a bridesmaid dress that is decent looking and decently priced is haunting me. many a day has been spent looking online, going to shops, dreaming of my non-existent perfect bridesmaid dress. i love to shop. i love fashion. i love a good deal. and, up until now, i thought i was a master of deals. a wielder of fabulous finds. well my self-proclaimed title is being challenged by said bridesmaid dress. how on earth is it this hard to find something that doesn't look like a taffeta tent, like "two pigs fighting under a blanket"? ($10 to the first person who can tell me where that quote came from.)


here are my top 5 wishes (these girls are my loved ones after all):
1. a nice, gentle color. one that says "i stand with you" not "i shout and scream at you and take all the attention."
2. a flattering fit....for ALL body types.
3. elegant & sophisticated, but not heavy and sweat-inducing.
4. something i would actually step out of my house in and not mind if i am photo documented wearing.
5. all priced under $200.

i say, is that too much to ask???

well, if anything, i've found a niche market and i am making plans to storm the fashion world one bridesmaid dress at a time.
