Victoria's Secret 7-in-1 dress, anyone get theirs?

Agape Gems · March 7, 2008

I'm a BM for one of my BMs later this year and she ordered this in teal but b/c teal is on back order she also ordered one in black for me to try on. It came yesterday and it's pretty nice. I will say however that she originally was going to order the designer version of this dress by Two Birds and I tried that on at a bridal boutique and the fabric was definitely heavier on the designer version. But, the VS dress is $200 cheaper, so who cares! I am a 34-36 DDD so going braless is not an option, and there are several ways to tie it so that you can cover bra straps. In fact I don't even plan to go with a strapless. if you go to this site you can see some ways to tie it:twobirds bridesmaid

Her sister, who is 5'2 and a size 0 also tried it on and it looked good on her too. The botttom hem is not finished so if you need alterations they would be really cheap. Bridal boutique said fabric can just be cut with scissors. sounds crazy, but makes sense when you see the fabric.

If you order VS i think they run a little big. I wear a size 12 dress so she ordered me a large and the waist band was loose.

Wow Amanda your wedding day is my bday!!! anyway ladies its been about 12 days since the last post. Does anyone have any pictures yet. I have struggled with what my BMs should wear. Im doing a traditional dress (but it doesnt look like the princess/ball gown, its a trumpet style) anyway i want my BM to look cute, sexy and appropriate for the beach. But i worry that the jersey fabric will be too casual when they take pictures with me. For the brides that have ordered the dress for their BMs are you wearing a "traditional" dress. Please send pictures. My bridesmaids are freaking out that we havent picked a dress yet.

one of my BM's got their dress in the mail this week and it is SO nice in person!!! she tried it on 4 different ways - i really love it - the material is perfect for a beach wedding and still dressy enough to be a BM dress!

Oh, Alyssa, I am SO glad to hear that! I've been worried that it wouldn't be nice enough. Yay, no more worrying!! About that anyway....

I went an ordered the dress but in black. I don't own a basic black dress, so now I will have one. It tells you at check out the backordered date. It just depends on what color you choose. The black was backordered the longest in my size.

I'm a BM for a wedding later this year and some of the dresses have come in but not the one in my size. I will post a pic though so you can see the color. The quality is good, I'm impressed.
