Dear CheapChica…

by cheapchica11 on March 11, 2010

I love your site – it’s sooooo fun! I need a little help…
I am in a wedding at the end of March. And my best friend is giving us bridesmaids the freedom of getting our own dresses with 2 requirements…the dress must be coral and it needs to be ‘vintage-y’.  Do you have any suggestions where I could find a coral color dress, with a vintage look – without breaking the bank?
Thanks,
Elena

Picture 2I’m so excited that you wrote in! I have the perfect dress for you and I think your budget and bride will love it!  Coral is one of the hottest colors of the season so you’re in luck because this dress from Windsor will be something you can actually wear long after the ceremony!

I picked this dress for a few reasons: the cut-very 40’s “vintage-y”, the fabric- a hint of sheen and because it’s the perfect blank canvas for you to accessorize!

As a bridesmaid, you can get lost in your bride’s choices for you, but with a dress like this, you really have the ability to make it your own!  Depending on whether you want to go classic or colorful, here are a few options for the perfect wedding look!

Picture 1And like anyone who’s been in multiple bridal parties will tell you, the cost of these dresses can really add up over time so the fact that this one costs less than $60 makes it a total no-brainer and everything I paired with it comes in well under $100 as well!

I love that you paired the dress with classic accessories and accessories with a pop of color. I dont know how you always manage to find such great pieces at such affordable prices. Oh and I’m definitely purchasing the coral necklace – it’ll be perfect for spring and summer!

I love coral. It’s vibrant without being overly so; it’s not “look at me” red. Those shoes are beautiful, and the bag, and the necklace. Wonderful job!

I love the things you picked out in Coral. So cute! Way to go Lilli. Too bad that is the one color I can’t wear because it makes me look YELLOW. Oh well, so cute for someone else!
