Bridesmaid dress help!!!

I think option 3 will be the most universally flattering, if everyone needs to wear the same style.

Option 3 is my favorite!

View Quoted Comment I am definitely leaning towards 3 but am worried it’s because it fit when we saw it vs 1 being tight. I’m worried that’s what is deterring me. I loved it in person.

I like option two the most!

I personally would pick #3, but I don't think it will be flattering on any large-chested women. I think #1 would be your best bet to be most flattering and comfortable for everyone.

Do they have to all wear the same? If you like all 3, can't your girls pick what they'd prefer?

I personally would let them wear whatever style they want in a certain color. None of these dresses would be super comfortable for someone with any kind of insecurities, but I suppose number one would be the safest option (although not the most flattering.) Options two and three don't allow for a bra which makes them definite no's for me.

View Quoted Comment So I had someone say the opposite, 1 is a more structured material. Luckily none of my BM are heavy in the chest, they’re very similar in size to my sister who so kindly was my model!

View Quoted Comment I prefer all the same, my matron of honor will be 9 months pregnant (if she makes it to the wedding) and she’ll be in a different style dress of course. But my type A personality prefers all the same

View Quoted Comment I definitely took in to account things all of my BM are comfortable wearing, they all approved of strappy dresses since none are large chested and cups can be sewn in for extra coverage. All BM are built similar to my sister in the photos.

I would go option one most flattering for all figures and easier for bra configuration. Open 3 is nice but again more busty girl will have a problem with this. Also not everyone’s back is that attractive... back chub, acne etc. some could feel sexy but very exposed. Just a 36ddd girl thinking of the those girls at c cup and above. Plus those stick in bras never work properly and clear straps look silly ( in my opinion) under spaghetti straps. They are all beautiful though!

Totally get it, I had all the same too. I think it really boils down to what you prefer and what you think your girls will be comfortable it. They're all nice options! Will any of them be upset if they can't wear a bra? That's my big concern about #3 bc even a strapless bra will definitely show in the back and if they need to wear a bra, backless/sticky/etc never really work. Just something to think about!

View Quoted Comment I appreciate it! I am a 32G so I know all about that! Luckily they are all small chested, all can and will go bra less if possible, otherwise the seamstress will attach cups in to the dress for some support and coverage. Definitely something to think about regarding back chub and acne issues. I’ll definitely ask my girls about any of this issues and make sure they’re truly comfortable wearing any of them since they would be somewhat revealing.

I like option 2 the best

View Quoted Comment All of my girls are built similar to my sister in the pics wearing the dress or smaller in the chest so I don’t think they’ll have any issue with it. We also made sure cups can be sewn in to the dress as well. I think I really do love 3, we’re getting married on the beach and that back piece trailing is so beautiful. But I will definitely check that they’re all okay bra less or with cups sewn in.

I wouldn’t want a dress that I couldn’t wear a good strapless bra in, and I’m very small. So #3 would be out. I think #2 looks great, but agree that it wouldn’t be universally flattering. I’m letting my girls pick the style and just giving them the brand and color. The last thing you want is your best friends to be uncomfortable. This dress was from david bridal a Vera wang collection for my sil’s wedding and we all had very different body shapes but this looked good on everyone. If you want everyone to wear the same style I think a halter top and the sash that we had really either created curves or accented the waist in a bigger body

View Quoted Comment Fairly certain 3 allows for a strapless bra, it was too big but when fitted it would be covered. Thanks for the insight! It is important for me to have the same style!

I think option 2 is the best choice if you are making all the girls wear the same style.

This is the back of 3 in the stock photo which leads me to believe when sized correctly a strapless bra would be covered

Love option 3 and I am also the type A personality that wants all my bridesmaids in the same dress!
