I've started to shop for bridesmaids' dresses and in the process have fallen in love with shantung -- specifically, with any of the short dresses on this site:
http://www.jennyyoo.com/shangtung.html
I think the prices are a bit high -- I would like to stay under $200. Do you ladies know of other companies doing similar dresses at lower prices? Could you point me in the right direction?
I also have two other questions -- do you think these dresses will likely require alterations? And lastly, I am worried about the quality of the material my girls will be wearing. Do you think Shantung is a high quality, natural material? Or do I run any danger of getting Polyester-ish material under a different name? (Note that Jenny Yoo also has a "Eastern Silk Shantung" fabric on her site... not sure how that is different.)
Thanks in advance for any help/advice!
