Spring wedding season is already underway, but if you are still looking for bridesmaid dresses, look no further – J.Crew’s popular silk Sophia dress is currently on sale for only $100 in select colors (and only $59.99 in Kelly Green)! I’ve kept my eye on the price of J.Crew bridesmaid dresses for a friend, and I think now is a fantastic time to stock up on select J.Crew wedding attire!

Read on for more about the J.Crew dress styles on sale and for Meilily’s important tips for shopping J.Crew Weddings.

J.Crew Sophia Short Dress in Silk Tricotine:
Regularly $150, the J.Crew Sophia Short Dress in Silk Tricotine is a great value as an elegant, classy, and pretty dress for bridesmaids or brides. Currently, the dress is on sale for $100 (in espresso and champagne), perfect for a fall bridesmaid or a casual bride, respectively.

J.Crew Sophia Short Dress in Silk Chiffon:
Slightly more expensive than the Sophia Dress in Silk Tricotine is this same Sophia overlap front style in a light crinkle silk chiffon, regularly $165 and currently on sale for $115 (in black and espresso).

J.Crew Sophia Long Dress in Silk Tricotine:
Perfect for a bride in ivory, the Sophia Long Dress could also serve as a more formal bridesmaid dress in one of the darker colors. Normally $295, this long and elegant version of the Sophia dress is currently on sale for $195 (in espresso).

**Meilily’s J.Crew Weddings Shopping Tip #1: Final Sale Items Not Recommended

Currently these J.Crew Weddings sale items are not yet marked as “final sale” items, so that means you can still return them if they don’t work out. However, when they become deeply discounted enough, they may become non-returnable “final sale” items, which will be risky if you don’t already know what size and style you need. Btw, J.Crew Weddings dresses have sometimes run pretty large in the past, so I’d recommend trying items before they are final sale (see Tip #2).

**Meilily’s J.Crew Weddings Shopping Tip #2: Try on Dresses Without Shipping Costs

While its nice to see J.Crew Weddings dresses in the catalog, it’s still hard to tell if they’ll even fit or look good on. Meilily has the scoop on trying on J.Crew Weddings dresses, including sale bridesmaid dresses, without paying any shipping fees…

According to a J.Crew’s Weddings phone expert, in order to try on dresses from their Weddings line, one option is to get to one of a few J.Crew stores that carry the line. Since there aren’t many stores that carry J.Crew Weddings clothing, your best option is probably to go to your local J.Crew store and order the dresses you want from the store phone to get free shipping to your home. Then, you can always return the items back to a J.Crew store for free.

Better yet, if you are a teacher or student, you may even be able to take advantage of the J.Crew teacher and student discount of 15% while you’re at it! [Do check with the store first to see if they will let you do so!]
