Long... I really love the way the long dresses look. Other than that and the color, my girls will decide what they want to wear!

Short. My sister is barely 5foot so we're doing short.

Long! It's a formal affair and it will probably still be a tad on the chilly side. a few of them chose to do a high slit though, which i love!

I was a BM, then long for me. I opted out of having BM’s for my wedding.

I like the longer bridesmaids dresses, but I have also found a few short ones that I wouldn’t mind

I decided to go with the short dresses as I have all different heights in my bridal party and ages. I went with a style as well like the infinity dress style as it also fits different body shapes and sizes as a plus with wearing it again for any occasion. I didn't wanna buy them dresses that they would never wear again and be stored in a closet.

I had originally been thinking of long dresses for my girls but then decided that since my dress is shorter, having them in somthing long would look weird.

Short, it’ll be early summer (hot and humid) and the dresses they chose are all elegant and it’ll still be a formal wedding.

Long! I’m in a wedding next month that was supposed to be short dresses, but has since switched. I was excited to try short, but happy for the change

Probably long. I don't mind short, but I think they'd be more comfortable in long
