Bridesmaid Gowns- perfect for many Social Occasions A few years ago, a charity function was held in the Pittsburgh area where women were invited to wear an old bridesmaid gown that had been safely tucked away in the back of a closet since its one and only wearing. The evening provided plenty of comic relief as the attendees showcased all of the frills, flounces and poufs that have embarrassed many a bridesmaid. Well... in the words of the old commercial..."you've come a long way, baby." At Carlisle's, our wedding attendants can choose from a wide array of styles and colors that are just as fashionable at the formal "After 6" affair, as they are standing at the altar. In fact, our customers purchase many of our "bridesmaid" designs for social occasions other than weddings. Sorority formals, cruisewear, inaugural balls- you name the formal occasion, and Carlisle's has dressed women in sophisticated fashions that are also worn by some of our wedding parties. Of course, when you offer hundreds of styles, including designs from top labels like Vera Wang, Siri and Belsoie (which means "beautiful silk") it is easy to understand why Carlisle's is known as the area's finest resource for sophisticated wedding attendants.
