Help with bridesmaid gown

Ladies, I need help. Which bridesmaid gown do you prefer? I am wearing strapless, I have one MOH and 3 BM. Either way, the color will be close to the strapless one. The reason I like #1 is because it is different and more sophisticated. #2 I feel is simple and classic. Please help me choose.

#1

I like number 2, but I feel like you have to have a certain body type to look good in this gown. They are both beautiful.

I love 2. I actually saw #2 in a peach color and it looked amazing and jackie o'like! And was under 100 bucks!!
Luckily I didn't get it b/c now were looking at an early fall 02 date and our pale yellow is a problem enough.. lol

Below are my bridesmaids and moh dresses! All my girls are thin and between 5'2 and 6 foot.. so they look amazing!!

ps. do you have another picture of style 1 ?? I think the side view makes it hard to choose

I don't have a front view of #1, but I think it is even more Jackie O. My bridesmaids are all short like me, 5'3' and average in size. Best to have everybody try them both on. Thanks, girls.

0705,

I love those dresses you chose. What flowers are you putting with them?

Re: Help with bridesmaid gown

well no white roses at all, b/c if you look at the picture those roses are white, but the dress turns them green.
What we had planned for the july wedding and if we rescedule it anytime up until mid october we are gonna stay with my orginal flower plan. Which were pale yellow roses with a peach in them, pink roses, violet roses, and a peach roses along with some other stuff I loved but forget what it is called
I haven't been thinking wedding since we postponed and kinda have been given the go ahead to restart and hopefully the AF will give us an answer in a few weeks!

So, your going for jackie o' look!! nice! I would ask your girls. I like both, but #2 was one of my top pic but my fiances 13 year old sister would have looked silly in it and the butter dress looked awesome on all of them. I would take your problem sized girls (if ya have any) and have them try both..
