Bill Levkoff BM question...please help! : )

Seeking help from the '07 brides!!!!

Here's my newest dilemma:

I have always loved the Bill Levkoff style #966 for my BM's, and recently discovered that style #454 is the same dress with a flower-embroidered sash. Now I like either dress, but have a problem!

So, I was looking at my bosses wedding pics today (she was married last month and looked beautiful!!!!!) and noticed her BP wore the BL #966. It looked AMAZING on all the girls. As I looked closer at the pic, I noticed that on the seam, under the arm of each girl, there was a safety pin. She told me to be very careful when ordering that dress. She wasn't sure if it was a fluke or just what happens to that material.....the morning of the dresses were fitted perfectly, but half way through the day it loosened on them! Their tops were falling off and they had to be safety pinned. Now, if this happened to one girl or even two, then I'd say maybe it was a fluke. But for ALL girls to have it fitted, some tightly, and then to fall off, there must be something wrong with that dress!!!

So, after all this my question is obvious: Did you or anyone you know use the 966 or 454 dress? If so, did this happen to your girls too? TIA and sorry it's so long!

Also, if you used BL, but didn't use either of these dresses, did you have a similar experience?

This has happened with every BM dress I've worn ... Watters & Watters, Jim Hjelm and After Six. I think it just happens with most dresses made from that material.

My girls wore #966 and nothing like this happened to their dresses -- they were perfect the whole day and looked gorgeous.

My girls wore the tea length version of that dress and didn't have any problems...

my girls are wearing the same exact dresses but they are in the process of getting them fitted now. i have had problems with any dress i wore, so i don't think it's just that particular dress.

Oh no!!! I ordered the same dress but t-length for my girls. I hope they are ok. I guess I have no choice but to bring safty pins!

I just wore that dress last weekend as a BM, it is an absolutely gorgeous dress and looks so elegant in person and especially in the photos, however, it was the most uncomfortable dress I have ever worn (this might have had something to do with wearing a floor length satin gown when it was 85 degrees and humid )
it definitely got bigger on ALL of us as the night wore one, three of ours ripped on the seems also (but we had a terrible seamstress, so that might be why)
Again, it is a beautiful dress but not the easiest to wear, but I guess that can be said about a lot of bm dresses

My girls wore that dress and that didnt happen at all and 2 of them have large busts. They were fine and they wore them for over 12 hours

I was just a BM in a wedding where I wore a Bill Levkoff dress -- It was fine throughout the night, but the neckline was a bit high - see photo.

I have not heard this happening with BL dresses. However, at the beginning of July I wore an Alfred Angelo dress and it happened to all of us girls.
