It doesn't matter what WE would wear.  You need to discuss this with your bridesmaids.  I am not a fan of matching bridesmaid dresses and think the only way to make your bridesmaids truely comfortable is to let them choose their own dress.  For my girls I chose a designer, line, length and color.  They can chose any dress style and fabric as long as it fits all the criteria I outlined for them.

I agree that the only opinions that matter are theirs, though I don't see that dress being flattering on many people, especially if they're not stick skinny.  If you do want matching dresses (a look that's rapidly dying out), don't commit to it until they've all had a chance to try it on and weigh in.

I just chose the fabric, color and length. My BM's had 4 different styles to choose from. And I even had a plus sized BM and she found something that fit her comfortably and she looked good in. We went with DB.

I would say definitely not strapless.  Try to find something with thick straps so they can wear a supportive bra.  V-necks might look best.  Let the girls try dresses on, especially if you are going to make them all wear the same thing.

I'm a busty, larger girl and I would never wear that dress.  One way to get your BMs talking is to ask them specific questions about what they like in a garment - what their neckline preference is, sleeve preference, etc.  For instance, if you asked me I'd tell you that I prefer a V-neck, but nothing too deep, that I like ruching over the stomach because I feel like it hides some stuff, and that I prefer tank straps to spaghetti or halter because I can still wear a bra that actually does something.

All that said, I wore a strapless dress for my wedding, and i have no problem wearing a strapless dress, but it has to be properly altered for me to feel comfortable.

To give you an idea, here are some dress options  I would like as a BM.

and this one, even though it's strapless...I can't articulate it, but there's something about it that works for me, I think it's the balance of top and bottom.

veronica prado

thank you!

Veronica, that dress is very flattering.  I would totally consider it.

Do ask your BMs their budgets before showing them that dress, if you haven't done so already.  I don't know for certain, but I think Bill Levkoff tends to be on the spendier side, and I know I've seen similar dresses (V-neck, ruched waist) from other designers.

I am big busted and I would not feel pretty wearing that style.  I stay away from empire waists because they usually don't hit right.  Also spaghetti straps are usually insufficient to hold up the girls.   I also like the vneck with rouching that was suggested.  I agree that it's your girls who need to decide though.
