URGENT...please help me find Age 15-16 simple ivory bridesmaid dresses- not too adult

25 replies

DressMe123 · 10/08/2015 10:39

i have less than a month to find bridesmaids dresses for two 14 yo girls who wear an adult size 8-10 dress. but the adult bridesmaids dresses are way too grown up and the junior sizes often go up to age 12 or petite age 14.

simple style, nothing too flouncy or frilly. maybe A line knee length.

TIA for ideas

What sort of budget?

BikeRunSki · 10/08/2015 10:46

only large left in this, but large might fit judging by size guide. At £4, it's got to be worth trying!

CaptainHolt · 10/08/2015 10:49

Any particular colour?

FernGullysWoollyPully · 10/08/2015 10:50

Bhs have a teen range.

too plain and simple?

thank v much everyone. i'm being annoying with drip feeding but there are younger bridesmaids too and the bhs ivory illusion dress is sold out in smaller sizes and as its a very distinctive style its less likely to be able to be tied in to any younger styles (e.g. with ba matching sash).

it's not actually my wedding but i have been asked to help find dresses.

i need to get more info about the proposed younger girls dress as i only have ' simp ivory' as a brief at the moment!!

DressMe123 · 10/08/2015 11:03

needs to be ivory so thanks so asos dresses won't work x

lettuce, that shape wouldn't work on one of them as she's too curvy, but thanks.

DressMe123 · 10/08/2015 11:05

budget not that important but i'm guessing under £100 would be best.

DressMe123 · 10/08/2015 11:12

boosiehs thats beautiful but v unlikely to go with the younger girls' dresses x

This one www.next.co.uk/x6d558s3 ?

LettuceLaughton · 10/08/2015 11:14

It doen't sound like theres a lot of point in looking at dresses for the older girls without an example of what the younger girls will be wearing. Will you give us a link when you have one? Or are we in fact looking for dresses for the little ones as well?

plantsitter · 10/08/2015 11:15

Or actually there are a few in Next.

DressMe123 · 10/08/2015 11:25

lettuce, that it true, in a way.

but...a whole set of dresses have been bought but the older girls sizing was not right, so they will need to be returned. as the market for older girls dresses is very narrow, i thought i could come up with a short list of ideas to send the bride and see if any of those tie in with the current younger girls dresses.

Are these too 'grown up' ?

DressMe123 · 10/08/2015 11:30

thanks a good. the coast one is quite nice but the 'over layer' could be unflattering i think .

OP posts:

addictedtosugar · 10/08/2015 12:24

Mostly labeled cream, but any of these any use? Not massively bridesmaidy but simple...

skater
sweetheart neck
lace
another skater

TheTravellingLemon · 10/08/2015 12:29

plantsitter's right about Next. A nice selection I think

prob won't work as seems to suggest only 5 hrs left to purchase???

PerspicaciaTick · 10/08/2015 13:34

What about this one? It would be simply enough to replace the balck ribbon belt with a coloured ribbon to match the rest of the wedding party.

DressMe123 · 11/08/2015 11:02

just popping in to say that the bride has opted for the skater dress suggested by addicted yesterday. all ordered! so thanks very much to you, addicted and to all others for their suggestions xx
