Being a Bridesmaid: The Dress

I have mentioned before that I will be taking on many wedding roles this spring, summer and fall. In July, I will be a bridesmaid for my friend's wedding in Tel Aviv, Israel. She has sent out a picture of the color dress she would like us to wear, and left the rest up to us. So I begin my hunt for the bridesmaid dress!

Personal photo from Friend Y

She would like us to match the color of the bridesmaids' dresses in this photo, but has no other requirements, just to keep in mind that this is for a wedding during the summer in Israel (think hot hot hot!).

So, of course I started first with my good friend, the interwebs.

First up, JCrew

Next, Carol Hannah's Wedding Shop at Etsy. I LOVE this dress, and she will make it in many colors, long or short

Annlumred at Etsy - I'm not sure yet if she will do this in custom colors and lengths but I love this dress (source)

And then there is Amsale...

I love both of these dresses as well

I think you can probably tell by now what I looking for - strapless(ish) silk chiffon - flowy, lovely, and blue!

Any suggestions for me as I begin my search?

Where did you find your bridesmaid dresses? Did you know what type of dress you were looking for, or were you open to anything?
