It was on TLC, during their wedding marathon of shows.

Checking out a bridesmaids dress @ Dessy and found this dress in their destination wedding section:

We (this would be 9 daughters and me) adore Dessy! During planning for this current wedding, we've spent a lot of time on their website. The prices are right and there are so many colors and super styles.

Amen. I would hope that a size 28 bride would like herself enough to find something that suits her more than that. It goes back to "just because it comes in your size doesn't mean you should buy it."

As a bridesmaid, I always encourage the bride to check out Dessy. You just can't go wrong with them. A local store carries some of their styles at $100. It's great because you can have good quality bridesmaids dresses that don't look/feel cheap, but at a price that won't make the girls hate you.
ETA: Another Dessy destination bridal dress I like:

The BM dresses I picked for my girls is Dessy! The price was great too because we ordered them from Netbride and they came out to $140. All the girls loved them and it was a great deal!

^^^^ I love this dress in the white with the clover color belt. Though my wedding day is a long time away, I am always looking for white and color combinations. I will have green in my wedding somewhere! Most likely the bridesmaids dresses, but I want some in my gown too!!!! I find it funny to as my best friend HATES green, but already told me the other day she knows she will have to wear it when I get married!

I'm in a wedding that will have green as one of the colors (apple green), and I'm pretty excited since green doesn't get used alot in weddings. I am used to wearing red or pink BM dresses so this is going to be different.

My wedding dress (which the groom picked out). It's actually a bridesmaid dress that I got for less than $250!

I'm surprised that's a bridesmaid's dress - it looks very much like a regular wedding dress. Congrats on the great deal!

While I know that they carry "designer" gowns, I have to wonder if you are also paying for the "Klienfeld experience."
