Im going to answer some questions in advance

No I havent ordered my bm dresses
Yes I am nuts and stressed out
Yes I still have time as long as they are ordered by the end of this month - all my girls have been measured I just have to make up my mind on a dress!!!!

This for some really weird reason has been one of the most difficult part of planning the wedding. I think b/c I am trying to make everyone happy when it comes to the bm dresses and it just will never work.

They would both be in the exact color/colors shown.

TIA!

ETA: Here is the link to the back of dress #2

My vote is for #2. It's classic and chic.

I would prefer to wear #1. I think it's very elegant and beautiful.

I thought it was the hardest part so far too. I like the first one more.

I like #1, because I don't really like the 2 tone look- just my opinion. But, now that I know you can get #2 in all red, I think that would look good too, so I guess I have been no help,

Awww Maxine I cannot believe you are STILL going thru this!!! This is why I loved having only two girls in my WP ... saved on the 'agita'

I am voting for #1.. I just love it.

And the next time I see a post from you, I'm hoping it is going to say 'HERE IS MY BM's DRESS'!!

#2 by far is more elegant and classy.

I don't like the sash in #1, it's too bulky and seems like it would be uncomfortable when one sits down.

But both are nice choices. Since you like both of these and they are very similar, have you thought of just choosing majority vote betw the BMs

I like the 2nd one ALOT !!
My girls tried on the 1st one and I loved it in the pic, and wasn't so crazy about it on anyone -

I like both of them.
#1 is very nice but it is one of those dresses that have a train or a longer length in the back. I was just a bridesmaid this past week and two of the girls that the extra length on a similar dress...it was hard to take pictures and how the photographer how to set them up, and then people were stepping in their train. It was comical but very annoying. Also, they had this loop in the back of the dress to do sort of like a bustle after they took pictures so that they can dance and move around more freely and this broke so they were really not too comfortable all night. They had to stay on the sides of the dance floor because if they went to dance in the middle of the dance, they have to make sure people didn't step on it.
#2 I find it elegant and really nice.
I'd choose according to the body types of your BM's. And try not to stress over this too much. Once you decide which dress you like the most, I'm quite sure your BM's will be happy to wear it and comply with your wishes.

I'm a little biased, but I love the first! My sister (my MOH) wore it in the same color and looked BEAUTIFUL!

I tried on the second (I was a BM in my friend's wedding) and it wasn't too forgiving on the hips.

Good luck!

Definitely #1. It looks like #2 is too stiff.

I have been away a couple of days so don't know if you decided but here's my 2 cents-

they are both very -

I think that the first 1 is better if your bm's are different sizes ( like size 2-14 or whatever)
I think it will accentuate the positive and hide the negative

THe 2nd dress is really pretty if your girls are on the slimmer side.

They are both good choices
