And pretty maids all in a row

Since the color of the wedding had been decided (remember - wine), I have turned my attention to selecting a dress for the bridal party.

I had a few requirements for the dress:
1) It had to not be strapless
2) It had to cover the knee
3) It had to look pretty in wine/red

Several people have said not to juge the dress color based on the Internet and that all the dresses look different in person. I hope to get at least one bridesmaid to a store before the end of the year. We will see...
