I think its pretty, but it might only compliment certain body types.

The dress is stunning.

I like it, but I would make sure it flatters everyone

Re: BM dress opinion..with pic

i really like it! my only concern would be the stomach area- may make thinner girls look heavier- but you really need to try it on in person.

ive seen so many dresses that looked so flattering on the model but unflattering on my bms. and ive seen the opposite as well.

i think the fabric and color are stunning however, just make sure its something that people are comfortable in!

Re: BM dress opinion..with pic

I think it's beautiful, very different. How many different body types do you have in your wedding party? If you have all different, I don't think that dress would look good on everyone.....

Re: BM dress opinion..with pic

that dress looks like silk charmeuse, which is VERY unforgiving....the dress itself is gorgeous, but if your girls don't look good in it...however, if they are all fit, you will have one HOT BP! talk about attracting Wedding Crashers! LOL

don't get me wrong, I think it's beautiful-something I would wear myself, but the material is hard to wear. JMO

It's beautiful, and I love the color...however, if there are girls in your BP that are short and chunky (like myself) that dress is a nightmare.

Re: BM dress opinion..with pic

As a plus size girl, I dont think it would flatter anyone over a size 10 or anyone with a little gut. Love the color though

I agree that it's a dress you definitely need all the girls to try on.

Re: BM dress opinion..with pic

I have 8 girls..

They are all quite thin...the largest prob being an 8 in a dress like this. The dress is $210.

I sent the pic to a few of them to test the reaction.
I'm still looking, but I can't seem to find anything that doesn't feel run of the mill.

any ideas?

Re: BM dress opinion..with pic

I love the dress, it's beautiful... but see what the girls think! I let them kinda pick there own! After all they are the ones who have to wear it! And so far only one out of 6 had an issue! But she said fine she'd wear it!! What can you do! If you all agree then go for it.

Re: BM dress opinion..with pic

I like it for myself, but I think it'll show every bump and 'jiggly bit'. It depends on what your BM look like.

I think I saw that dress in Macy's (not the bridal salon, just regular macy's dress department) when I was looking for a dress to wear for a wedding. It's gorgeous in person! If you don't want somethng too bridesmaidy you can always check out some department stores.
