Bridesmaid Dress of the Month: JS Boutique "De-Light-Ful"

This month's bridesmaid dress is a spectacular printed gown from JS Group's Boutique Collection.

Shown here in a lovely red colour, this gown also comes in light blue and darker blue choices, as well as a lovely floral print.

The sweetheart neckline is pleated and criss-crossed across the bust, with more ruching around the waist. This gives an amazing shape to all bodies, snugging in the waist, and enhancing the bust.

The gown then falls naturally to the floor, in a light chiffon. There is a built-in edge around the bust and back to help the dress stay snug to your body without fear of it falling, but it also comes with spaghetti straps, for that extra bit of peace of mind.

Honestly, the hanger the dress comes on is heavier than the dress itself! It's so light and flowy. It would nicely for any kind of outdoor wedding ceremony, and suits the majority of body styles.

The dress comes in sizes from 2-16, but may be available in larger sizes depending on availability from the manufacturer.

Paper Doll has this dress in the light blue and dark blue fabrics. Come in with your bridesmaids to see if this dress will make your wedding party stand out.

Dress of the Week: Impression Destiny "Lovely Lace"

This week's dress has it all, in a small package!

Covered in lace, this lovely dress has a slight sweetheart neckline and a belt at the waist with a small floral detail on the hip.

The a-line skirt is edged in scalloped lace, and then some cute tulle peeks out from underneath.

Perfect for outdoor weddings, second weddings, or a reception dress, this is the one you're looking for if you want to let some fun show through.

It's available in the store in white and ivory so you can determine exactly which one is perfect for you!

Dress of the Week - Impression Destiny "Sparkle & Shine"

This week's dress is a winner from top to bottom!

A light satin sheath dress, the top is a straight neckline with ruching and pleating along the bodice to the hip on an angle.

Throughout the pleats are sparkles of beads, that don't overpower, but enhance the look.

The gathers on the waist go around to the back zipper, and create a lovely long-torso look, as well as enhancing your natural waist.

The skirt then falls gracefully to the floor, ending in a small train, perfect for outdoors.

As the skirt is not embellished, you can easily add buttons down the back seam, or beads and sparkle to the bottom hem (once it's been hemmed to your length!) by a qualified seamstress.

As the fabric is a light satin, it's perfect for outdoor weddings or summer time ceremonies. The satin sparkles and catches the light too, adding that bit of shine to the whole dress.

This is at a very affordable price point too! If your budget is under $500, you'll be able to get this dress, in white or ivory!

We have only one of these dresses left in stock - the other one was sold within a day of it's arrival - so come in soon to try it on and see if it's the one for you and your special day.

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.
