FINALLY I have broken down after months of driving myself and my BP crazy and have decided on the 2 dresses I will be using for the BMs and MOH. I know you guys have seen me post pics here a dozen times and asked your opinions, and I thank you all for your input!!!
It's almost identical to the one ChristineAE has, but it's chiffon instead of satin.
The dresses are by Jim Hjelm Occasions. The color will be bordeaux. The BMs are getting the one in orange, and my MOH will be wearing the one in black. (They're the same dress except one has shoulder straps and the other is a halter)
I loved that one. I tried it on and it is very flattering

Re: Drumroll please..... :-)
I love it...and so did my MOH because my mom duplicated it for her...in blue chiffon and cocktail length...very flattering. Hall twins think alike! Congrats!
HAHAHAH the drama isn't over yet!!! My BM from hell is still whining about her tiny pot belly possibly being seen in the dress!! She emailed me 'These girls are all skinny, I'm sorry' I told her hey, EVERY BRIDESMAID DRESS shows a skinny model in it!!! You can't judge the dress by the model!!
I already recruited my MOH and SIL to explain to her how this works. She's never been a BM before, so she's clueless. She thinks she's supposed to be the center of attention!! Maybe I should remind her that she can hide her belly with the Bo-K!!!

My MOH (in picture) had a 4 month old at the time of the wedding (she's the baby girl on my review) and was concerned...but the middle part hides a LOT, plus she knows how to use a bouquet!

I know...I have 2 BMs that will have 6 month old babies at the time of the wedding and THEY aren't even whining about the dress choice as much as she is!! Did I mention that she is the thinnest one out of all of us since she wears a size 5?? She's had 3 kids, and she's 35, does she expect to look 21??

Very nice and they look like they type a dress that could be used again. Thats always a plus right? I had a dress from a former wedding where I was a BM and it look terrible, the dress had more flowers on it than i dont know what, I donated that dress to charity. I wish I still had a picture of it.

I think it's UGLY!!!! And, I'm very mad at you for copying my wedding...oure relationship is over as we know it.
I'm SOOOOOOO Just kidding...how could I NOT LOVE those dresses!!!!!!!!!!! And your MY GIRL!!!!!!!
Fabulous pick! It's the MOST flattering dress any woman could ever wear! They will indeed wear that dress again (if they have somewhere of course!)
Congratulations!!!!!!! I love the Jr. BM dress as well!

DO you want me to talk to this girl???? I swear to god...nothing is going to make her happy! Suggest a tummy tuck if she's that unhappy with her pot belly....or tell her she has the option of losing weight....she needs to stop expecting the world to compromise FOR HER!
That dress is very flattering! My girls are different sizes and different heights, and that dress (even in the sample my BM's are pictured in) looked skinny! And in OFF WHITE!
Here's a pic of my BM's in their dresses....trust me...she SHOULD be greatful and kissing the floor you walk on b/c of the selection!
My MOH is a size 4, my other two bm's are size 10's, one bm is a size 14, and the final one is a size 18....tell her I'll trade my HUGE hips and thighs for her pot belly any day! You can get rid of a belly, but you can't get rid of your trunck!
p.s. they're all int he sample size 12 (street clothes 8/10)...
