7 Sep 2010Welcome back, bridesmaids! We hope you’ve
enjoyed this long weekend. The changing of the seasons is a very special time of year filled with wondrous colors and romances budding all over. Now that the Fall wedding season is in full swing, we’d like to share with you our favorite ideas for bridesmaid dresses in September!
This summer was a hot one and we’re still waiting for those temperatures to cool down. But even with highs in the 90s, there are still options for comfortable elegance. Our bridesmaid dress style 3911 is a classy full-length, halter in chiffon that is light and luxurious, perfect for an outdoor event. And even if those cool autumn nights make their way to the dance floor, style 3911 comes with a matching shawl to keep you covered. The same dress is also available in tea length as bridesmaid dress style 3912 if you want to mix things up a bit.
The colors of fall are a perfect complement to bridesmaid dresses. Gone are the greens and blues of summer. The changing of the leaves into robust golds and reds provides a gorgeous opportunity for wedding day photos. To make choosing the right
bridesmaid dress color even easier, we’ve added a new feature to the Dress Code Formal website. Simply choose a color and you will see every dress available in that color. It couldn’t be easier!
You can’t go wrong with glam, no matter what the season! Our bridesmaid dress style 4932 will have you looking like a Hollywood diva at a fraction of the price. This sophisticated chiffon dress has a lot going for it. The fabric is light and comfortable while the draped sleeves will keep you warm at night and the tasteful beading has an understated flair that perfectly accents the a-line bodice.

3 Sep 2010A common question we receive here at
Dress Code Formal is “How do you come up with such unique styles for your bridesmaid dresses?” The simple answer is we have many years of experience in the fashion industry. We’ve seen trends come, go and come back again. The fashion industry is a constantly changing world that innovates, evolves and, every now and then, completely rewrites the rules of style. Consider our bridesmaid dress style 4907.
This is one of those perfect examples of a formal event dress that never seems to go out of style. The baby doll evening gown was popularized in the 1950s by American actress Carroll Baker. Over the years, the style evolved from sleepwear to a more special occasion dress but it never truly went out of style. It is now considered one of the most long-lasting American style dresses of all time.
One look at our bridesmaids dress 4907 sums up the spirit of the design. The flowing organza ruffles of the short-but-not-too-short skirt accentuate the breezy movement of the dress. On a crowded dance floor, this numbers is set to impress. Couple that with the
demure cut of the sweetheart neckline and you’ve got the best of both worlds for any cocktail party: playful and flirty while at the same time elegant and striking. And to top it all off, just the right amount of rhinestone embellishment adds a discreet flair that inspires individuality. Not too over-the-top for a bridal party and unique enough for a prom dresses procession.
One of the reasons that the baby doll has endured for so long is the fact that it is so versatile. It is a special occasion dress that can be worn with confidence to just about formal event. With 4907, we have kept the classy feel of the style and updated it for a look that is modern, fun and sexy.

On Monday night at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete was crowned Miss Universe, beating out 88 contestants including the recently crowned Miss USA Rima Faikh and the favorite going into the pageant, Miss Philippines Venus Raj. She replaces Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez of Venezuela. Miss Navarrete looked absolutely stunning in this asymmetrical one-shoulder gown with beaded applique and a modified sweetheart neckline. With such a gorgeous dress, it’s no wonder she placed first in the evening gown competition. The long, sleek lines of the full length
A-line skirt evoke a simple elegance that flatters the form and would be sure to turn heads at any formal affair. Congratulations, Miss Universe!
Of course, you don’t have to be a pageant contestant to own a similar look. Our bridesmaid dress style 4931 is perfect for a glamorous evening about town or a sophisticated wedding ceremony. This smart, classy special occasion dress has all of the flash of an A-list runway event at a fraction of the beauty queen budget.
