US$ 89.99 | Sheath/ Column Sweetheart Knee -Length Capped Satin Mother of the Bride Dress (FSH0140)
I LIKE THIS ONE for you guys! In the color "grape" (check out the color/size guide) If you're dimensions don't fit into those you can choose "custom fit" and for less than the price of getting it tailored you can have them custom fit it to your dimensions. (I did that for wedding dress #1 from this site...it's great quality and it fit like a glove!)

Shoes
What do you want to do about shoes with the bridesmaid dresses? They're kind of short, but if you all want heels that's just fine. We could try to find some vintage-style Mary Jane heels or something cool. There's also options such as: combat-ish boots (definitely complete the west coast punk look then!) or maybe converse? We could go with a color that matches and either leave it or as- is or get some markers and you guys can design them however you want, either on the purple canvas or a different color. Ok so some examples (and not these colors except maybe the converse, I just chose the first thing that fit the style.)
There are a lot of awesome shoes here too:

And the winner is...
The winner is dress #2, the black/pink Betsey Johnson with the spaghetti straps. A close second was dress #1, the Sue Wong. Haha fundamentally different dresses so I hope you're happy with the Betsey Johnson. The dress below is the color combo, this color blue with this color purple. Thoughts?

I am the smartest girl alive! Ok, maybe just the best tutorial follower...ha!
I'm experiencing a moment of deep self-satisfaction and I have to share with someone. I only got K and Sara's message machine so I'll just share my awesome experience with everyone!
This awesome experience DID NOT start awesome. I've been designing the invitations and I've become a little obsessed. I plopped onto the compute this morning to get crackin' and what do I find? A monitor with a blinking blue light. Nothing starts it. I restart, take plugs out and put them in, no dice. So I take to the laptop and look up my monitor. Seems this little gem (exact model and same year) has an issue with going to shit after a couple years and the "error" code is the flashing blue light. What's wrong with it? Techies disagree but there were 2 options: burned out LCD backlight or blown capacitors. Both would cost between $100-$300 to fix and a new monitor is $150 on the cheap end. It's past warranty and already broken so what the hell, I determined I'd fix it myself.
If it was an LCD issue I'd have to order so I looked up a tutorial first on how to replace capacitors. What a pain! You have to take the monitor apart, open up the guts and be sure not to get zapped by other capacitors in the process. (We're talkin around 1000 volts here, would've been a bad day.) So long as I didn't go poking metal into things that looked like batteries I figured I'd be ok; off I went!
This model really sucks for taking apart. The screws are nearly impossible to get to and the circuit board is not in an ergonomic position. But I finally got it out and what do you know? Blown capacitors. Brown juice all over. The capacitors shit themselves. At this point I realized I'd need a soldering iron, solder, 3 new capacitors and a tutorial on how to solder circuit boards. $20 and a 10 minute tutorial later I set to work.
I really didn't know if this was going to work! But I got the faulty pieces out, the new ones in, tediously put this thing back together and headed to the computer room. Plugs went into the monitor, I held my breath in anticipation and...NOTHING! Haha I went through all that and forgot to check if I plugged it back into the surge protector. Ok so I plugged that in and...SUCCESS!!! I fixed the monitor! I braved the perils of the circuit board and walked away victorious! Plus I saved a couple hundred bucks, which is GREAT because I've got this wedding thing going on. WOOHOO!
