Dress of the Week - Jasmine's "Always a Bridesmaid..."

But this time, a bride!! This week we see how a bridesmaid dress can make a perfect informal wedding dress.

This first dress from Jasmine's B2 line, comes in many different colours. We have it here in white - delicate lace on top with a satin skirt. It can come knee-length or floor-length, in sizes from 0 to 32. With no train, it's a great dress for an informal or second wedding, at a great price!

As with all Jasmine gowns, you know you're going to get a good quality dress at a good price!

What if you want some bling? Our second choice has a bit of sparkle on the bow at the waist, and is available in your choice of tea-length, knee-length, or floor-length up to size 34!

You'll notice all these dresses have supporting straps for the woman who feels more comfortable with a little something on the shoulders.

Our third dress shows a light ivory gown from the Belsoie line. A sweet chiffon dress with straps and flattering ruching, this gown can come tea-length or floor-length and is a lovely option for the lady who wants to wear her dress on her honeymoon cruise for a formal night!

We have many other dresses in the store in white and ivory, that make great wedding dresses for under $300! A bridesmaid dress is a great option for those with smaller budgets, but who still want to wear a 'wedding' dress instead of a 'pretty' dress.

Come in to Paper Doll and we'll give you a lot of options you might not have thought about before!

Dress of the Week - 2Be "Beaded Beauty"

This week's dress is by Kathy Ireland's 2Be.

A lovely strapless chiffon mermaid gown, it has a soft sweetheart neckline and a fitted waist showing off a satin ribbon belt with a beaded flower to the side.

The dress is covered with delicate hand beading from top to bottom, which forms in a chevron pattern.

The chapel length train is great for indoor weddings, and if you'd like to wear this out doors, please make sure the grass is perfectly manicured or there's a carpet, because you don't want to snag a bead on this dress!

There are detachable halter or spaghetti straps included and the gown is available in white or ivory.

It comes from size 2 to 22 in regular prices, and up to 32 for slightly more.

It's light, a lovely, but definitely not meant to be worn repeatedly prior to the wedding day as the beads can drop off easily. We have this gown in white and ivory in the store for you to try on. It's a spectacular gown that must be tried on to be believed.

Bridemaid Dress of the Month: Forever in Pleats!

This month's bridesmaid dress doesn't look like much... until it's worn!

From Forever Yours' bridesmaid collection, this lamore satin strapped dress has a scoop neck and vertical pleats over the bust.

The waist and remainder of the dress is all horizontal pleating, which flatters every figure!

The pleats add curves to women who need some, and flatters the curves some women already have.

The dress is available in knee length or floor length, and comes in 75 different colours!

It's in the store in a deep eggplant purple for you to try on.

Swing in to check it out. You may be surprised how flattering this dress looks.

Dress of the Week - 2Be Elegance

This week's dress is simply elegant.

From Kathy Ireland 2Be Bridal, this strapless organza and satin modified mermaid gown starts with a sweetheart neckline, pleating into a directionally ruched crisscross satin bodice with asymmetrically dropped waistline. It hugs all the right curves, giving a fantastic shape.

The internal craftsmanship is the usual quality you'd expect from Kathy Ireland and Mon Cheri. First, there's boning from the bust to the hip inside, supporting you and ensuring a firm fit. Then there's a belt that goes around your waist, to hold the dress securely. Third, they've included a corset with a v-back, echoing the back of the dress. Together, these three elements make sure you don't need to purchase a separate corset or bustier.

The pleating and ruching wraps around the back too, and the zipper has a hook and eye about half-way up, to hold it flat against you, ensuring no puckering.

There's organza over a satin skirt with a chapel length train. A great length for that summer outdoor wedding. It's light and airy-looking and the organza shimmers in the light.

The dress comes with detachable spaghetti and halter straps.

The dress is also available with a floweret accented skirt in case you wanted a bit more pizzaz.

Available in sizes from 0 to 20, and then in woman's sizes from 18W - 32W, and in white or ivory. We have this dress in white AND ivory in the store, in size 12 and 20W! The price point will be a pleasant surprise for all the quality and workmanship you receive.

Come in to see if this dress is the one for you.

We're at our new spot now - Schoolhouse Square, between Furniture One and the Farm Market.
