Hello! I have three bridesmaids and a May 2008 wedding. I've been looking around, hoping to find chiffon or organza shrugs (short sleeves), to no avail. Has anyone ever seen something like that?
I'm OKAY with the shawl/wrap idea, but the color and material of the dress is tough to match (ann taylor diana long strapless dress in espresso). I've seen Ann Taylor's chiffon wrap--but I don't want the girls to spend a ton of money.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Does anyone sew? Those little boleros are so easy to make, and take very little fabric:

The trick will be to find fabric that will complement the dresses - I doubt you'll find an exact match.
GL!

posted by AG2bAB 8 months agoWell, upon further consultation, my lovely bmaids don't mind being bolero-less (I thought they would, hence the search).
Thanks for your suggestions!
