My 3 Dresses . . . can't decide!

Original post by CappyGirl

OK, I need help deciding on a bridesmaid’s dress. I’ve gone to several places and have a top 3, all of which are completely different. Can I get some feedback? What do you think about these / what are the pros or cons, if you can think of any / how do you think they would photograph? Anything that comes to mind would be great to hear. Here are links to the three dresses . . . opinions?

#1, probably in marine or pewter

I like #1 alot. It's pretty, but not too super bridesmaidy. I dont think #2 and #3 are fancy enough

I actually really love all of them - I especially love #3.

I don't think you need to have typical 'Bridesmaid' dresses, just based on where you are having your wedding. Guests will know who the BMs are - don't worry about that.

They are all pretty dresses but I have to agree with everyone else, especially that your hall and your dress are formal. I was in a similar situation, i really wanted short dresses that didnt look like BM dresses, I was even looking at off the racks. but everyone was telling me for a saturday night at my hall i should look at fancier dresses, so i had my girls went to try on some long gowns and ended up loving them! i found a couple Jim Hjelm dresses that I am going to choose between(havent decided yet) . IMO they do not look like typical BM dresses, so I would check those out and they have a really nice dark blue color. and now i am actually excited to make my wedding feel formal!

heres a couple im choosing between:

I agree with the other girls.. I don't feel like #2 and #3 are very formal. I think #1 is the most formal; however, I have to say I agree with Barb about the 'butt dimple' thing lol- the fabric doesn't look forgiving in the back.

That being said, I voted for #3 because I think it's the most unique.

I think I like the first one the best but I'm not sure I like the color (was that the color you were considering?) - it makes the dress look a little drab. The second doesn't look like it's a good fit (my rule of thumb is that if they can't get it to fit the model right, it probably won't fit real people right!), and the third to me is very '60's mod' stylized - would that go with the overall look of your wedding?
