Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I went with my sister last night to look for BM dresses and we think it's narrowed down to 2 choices. I just want to get everyone's opinion.

Here is the color that the dress will be ordered in (This dress is not one ofthe choices, just posted to show the color):

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I prefer the dress that is in RED, the ones she has on does nothing for her frame, is she your largest girl?? The way I did it to make sure it looked right, I took the largest person and the smallest person. I hope that helps. This is only my opinion tho. If she loves how she looks in either one, then go with that. Are they all wearing the same dress??

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I actually like the 1st one the best (even though you posted only for color). Our dresses were in claret as well, and the 1st one was one of the ones we used. Of the other two, I think the last one looks better on your sis (I'm not a big fan of the neckline of the other).

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

They are both really nice but my vote is for #2. The first one is my bridesmaid dress

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I like the one that's in red too!!! Why is that not an option??

Out of the two you chose - I like the first one. Is it two pieces? I think it's nicer than the second. JMO.

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I actually like the dress that comes in the color you want, but if I have to choose between the two I would say dress #2. Who makes the dresses, my BMs are wearing the same color as your getting.

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I like #1 the best even though you are showing it for the color. I don't particularly like the neckline on #2 and the neckline on #3 looks too heavy on her small frame.

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I agree the the 1st dress looks great on my sister, but I have other girls who are bigger and want a little more coverage. My sister is tiny (only 88lbs) so it's hard to get a good picture of how the dress will fit in a size 8 sample dress.
Thanks for your input.

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

you could have them in different dresses...all my girls wore different dresses - so they each got to pick one that flattered them, rather than one style suits all.

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

Is your sister your MOH? If she is she could always wear the dress that comes in your color and the BMs could wear one of the other two styles.

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I say let your sister get the one that she is wearing in the color...and let everyone else wear the 3rd dress..the ice blue one. Very pretty!

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I gave them that option, but they would all rather wear the same thing. My sister, the MOH doesn't want to stand out from the others.

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I like the red one too for your sis! But the #2 for everyone else. If any of your girls have a large bust (like me) I think they would prefer #2 also

Re: Bridesmaids Dress Poll

I like #2, I think the dress will look beautiful on your petite sister once it is fitted to her. The only reason it looks to be overpowering her is because it is obviously too big. It is a simple dress and once it is fitted correctly it will look stunning. I don't care for the neckiline on #1 at all.
