Bridesmaid Dresses

Ok, so of course, all of my girls have different body types. I have sent an email out to everyone with different styles to pick from.

Well, they all said they like all the styles and will wear whatever I picked for them. That's fine, but I was looking for more than that.

So maybe you wonderful LI girls can help me. Their sizes range from 2-20. Here are the top two that I like. What one would you like to wear for a bridesmaid dress?

The dresses would be in black

Bridesmaid Dress No. 1

Bridesmaid Dress No. 2

Thanks girls!

Wow! 50/50. I don't know how you are going to decide. I voted for #1 because I am a size 16 and I know that halters look better than strapless on me.

I think the first dress is more flattering for bigger girls.

Why not let each girl pick the style they like? That's why my friend did -- she picked the color and the length and let each girl pick their own style.

I would really like my girls to wear the same dress. I just like that look and they have no problem wearing the same dress either, but thank you for that suggestion!! :) :)

In that case #1. In my experience halter top is much more forgiving on all body types and easier to wear.

i chose #2 because I feel like the low-sitting sash in the middle will work better on your 'fuller figured' girls... it won't cut them off as much as #1 would.

#1 if they're not big chested.

I think #1 would be more flattering.

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses

As a big chested girl I would actually be more comfortable in a strapless than in a halter. In a halter I just bust out from all angles and I don't like where it cuts me off. In that case I would chose the strapless.

I like #2

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses

Number 2 is reallllly pretty, but if you have a such a wide range of sizes I that #1 would be a more comfy fit for everyone and it will be flattering for all!

Re: Bridesmaid Dresses

I accidently voted 2 but i agree 1 is best for a size 16 and over. I am 14/16 and i would not want to wear the second dress cause my roll would be showing IoI Otherwise they would need a girdle or corset to suck it all in and that is not comfty.

Are you offering little jackets? I hate showing my arms off even though people think i am insane for thinking i look horrible with no sleeves. You may want to offer that for the girls plus with your wedding date you might need them.

VERY pretty dresses ... both nice
