So far, the best ones I've found have been at BCBG.  I've had my eye on this one for a while:

Good point!  I'm getting marring in Jamaica in May and hadn't even considered the dress needs to hide sweat.  Thank you for mentioning that.

 I LOVE the Maggie Sottero dresses.  I never considered a tea length but the more I look at this thread, the more I consider it.  I do have great legs...

 

Why are you ladies doing the non-traditional/shorter dresses?  What made you decide?

I tried on the Maggie Sottero Isadora Marie, which is just the longer version of the Isadora Ann (they didn't have the Ann in store).  I really liked it, but my mom won't even hear of it!  She says the short one looks like a prom dress.  (I bet if I had wanted to wear it to a prom, she would've said it looks like a wedding dress!)  I personally love the idea of a shorter dress - just think - you don't have to worry about getting sand all over it, you can go to the washroom solo, and it would be soooo much more comfortable. Unfortunately everyone I took dress shopping thinks that the fact that it's a destination shouldn't affect the dress you wear, and it should be big and poofy and bride-like. Sorry for the rant, but the point is I really do love the Isadora Ann, it's gorgeous and IMO perfect for a DW.

As far as good buys go, this dress is $800+ on the Maggie Sottero website but I saw it for less than $150 on www.milanoo.com.

Went dress shopping in person for the first time this weekend and I'm not sure what to do.  Here is the one I tried on and really like - the model looks kinda trashy so its hard to get a good concept, but it looks great on (and not as short as it is in the pic).  The back is traditional with a corset lace up so it does seem "bride-like" and oh so flattering.
