I like it. I think they should be comfortable in their dresses. They have to wear them, not you.

Who makes that dress?

I like it, and more importantly, your girls like it. I did pretty much the same thing, I had all my girls come shopping and they all liked the same dress, I chose the color. At first I didn't LOVE the dress, but it grew on me and they all looked gorgeous and were so happy with the dress. Over a year later they keep telling me it's the nicest BM dress they've ever had.

Just make sure you really like it. I went with my sisters and they fell in love with a dress, and then i felt like I had no choice because I did not want to upset them. Pick a dress that you like, this is your wedding. If you like the dress, then go for it!

Hey Lisa,

do you not like the dress you ended up with??? I LOVE it... but it's ALWAYS YOUR choice... Maybe you're just talking about the original dress you picked before deciding on the one you ended up with?

I love it!! I picked out something similar for my girls to try on, but FH didn't like it, and neither did the one member of my BP that is hardest to fit (short, big chest, teeny tiny waist).

Re: Bridesmaid dress opinion

I don't thinkit looks like a Bm dress....it depends on the look and 'vision' yopu had in mind for your own wedding. Could you see the girls in this the day of? When I went with my BM they picked out these big, poofy style dresses (It reminded them of their bridal gowns) and since I wasn't happy with it....we just kept looking (With them cranky and all) and I finally found the dress for all of them! So, if your unsure..keep looking and maybe you'll come back to it!

I think it's beautiful and they would definitely be able to wear it again. It's a HUGE PLUS that they all agreed on it and liked it.

I LOVED the BM Dress my girls picked out but didn't love the color. I put up a little bit of a fight in the beginning, but then it grew on me and now I'm so happy that I stepped back and considered what was more important...
