Late May, central CA winery wedding with a formal dress code. I’m one of several bridesmaids asked to truly wear whatever we want as long as it is sage green. I’ve been searching for sage dresses and the options are…fine. All really similar from the bridesmaid collections (revelry, lulus, azizie, David bridal, birdy grey), macdougal, Nordstrom, Saks all similar or boldly colored with sage/closer to black tie.

Want: -Looks different/fashion/artsy while fitting in with what’s a pretty traditional wedding -a slit or similar to show leg and have movement (but not a short skirt) -open to the way it fits

Don’t want:

• Heavy lower half (no princess skirts, etc)

• SUPER low cut (32dd)

• that kinda cheap looking satin that’s so popular

About me: 5,9 155-160 Slightly broad shoulders Light olive complexion with dark long hair Budget is open, prob not over $4-500 and that would need to be really special (this isn’t a luxury crowd, so I’d want to wear it again, etc). I love Maison margiela, late 90s Prada, Jil Sander, the row, Loewe, farm rio, Marni, madewell, I run the gamut!

Any recommendations would be super fun and I’d be very grateful.

My SIL is getting married in late August. I’m stoked. She asked me to wear sage green to match other family and I am more than happy to oblige her request. DC is garden party. I picked this out and thought I would love it, but after trying it on I am just not sure. I am pretty tall but something about this dress makes me feel short. My husband agrees something is off, but neither of us can really figure it out. Any thoughts? I feel I could definitely wear it if it’s my only option, but I think I’d like to look for something else. Any suggestions of sage green/light green dresses? I prefer some sort of floral pattern for summer and SIL encouraged this.
