    I like the Jenny Yoo Adelle. The first Joanna August is really sloppy looking.
  • Second Jenny Yoo.

  • Most of those styles seem best suited to very slim bridesmaids who are not at all busty. It's hard to say which is best without knowing what body types your bridesmaids are. It's probably a good idea to have them all try on dresses and ask which they're more comfortable in.
  • I'm not wild about any of the Joanna August ones.  I like all of the Jenny Yoo ones - would you consider choosing a color, and letting your BMs each pick the dress she likes best?

  • Have you girls tried these on?  All of these dresses look like they would be really hard to pull off.

    Thought this one was gorgeous and I would wear it again.. Everything else looked REALLY bridesmaidsy.

  • I like the last jenny yoo - looks like it would be the most universally flattering....have your girls tried any of these on?
  • two birds! its the most universal for sure.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: which bridemaids dresses do you like we cant decide : Agreed. I dont think I could pull of any of the dresses except for the twobirds...and that's just because I could do whatever I needed to do with it.

    Ditto.
    I looked that the Jenny ones and i liked them, but i crossed them off my list b/c a few of my girls are busty and one is hippy.

  • the two birds dress seems the most practical the rest would look good on very slim women with very straight figures, I love all of them, but if anyone in your wedding party has a remotely womanly shape then the two birds is the best
  • unlike everyone else, I very much liked the look of the joanna august dresses, and not so much the janny yoo - I don't like ruffles. However, I agree that the dresses could maybe be hard to pull off.

    I really liked the two birds dress as well. And I voted for it because I think it is versatile and looks better for a wedding that the joanna august dresses. though honestly, if it were me, i would let each girl pick between any of those dresses and get what they like because the dresses were all quite similar in style.
  • I liked the Two Birds and the last Jenny Yoo a lot.  I agree with PP about the Joanna dresses looking a bit sloppy.

  • I think the Joanna August dresses would look a lot better if the models had any tits to speak of. 

    What do your girls think?  They're the ones that have to wear them.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • Just wanted to add that while I like the CONCEPT of the two birds dresses, I find that these kinds of universal dresses aren't as universal as they pretend to be.  I'm busty and I've tried on several of these kinds of dresses and have yet to find one that works on my body.

    Your girls REALLY need to try these on.

    (I didn't vote for any of the options.)

    This was what I was going to say.  You beat me to it...
    I'm built and busty.  I couldn't wear any of those dresses without making your grandpa blush.
    The keyhole one would be my best option, and that would be a game of peek-a-boo...lol.
    BUT, not everyone is as top heavy as me, so this comment may be worthless to you.
