BM dress What would you do?

So, I took my two friends shopping for bridesmaid's dresses and I found one that I fell in love with.  The three other girls like the dress as well.  One of my bridesmaids does not.  She doesn't ever dress up or wear heels and she really likes to be comfortable.  The dress has a corset top and she felt it was too tight and uncomfortable.  We tried everything to see if we could make it better.  We even loosened the strings dramatically and she still thought it was tight around her rib cage. I think it's just meant to be that way because it's a strapless corset so it needs to hold up somehow.  She's a very sweet girl and I didn't want to cause waves so we didn't get the dress.  But, i've been thinking about it a lot and I haven't found a dress I like as much yet.  Would you just tell the bridesmaids that this is the dress we're getting or would you try to look for another dress so your one friend isn't uncomfortable?

    I am one that loves the bridesmaid dresses all being the same however in this case it might be a good idea to let the other 3 girls get this dress and have her choose another dress she is comfy in but is the same color...just my 2 cents. I'm assuming you actually want her in the wedding?

    that happened to me a few times in the bm dress hunting process. i had 6 girls before the rude, coke-head bm dropped out of my wedding (LOL!) and it was very very difficult to find a dress all of the girls loved. every time i found one ALMOST everyone agreed with, one person disagreed. i continued searching for months and found one that ALL of the girls loved. and all of them have reworn their dress already! so keep looking. there are tons of bm dresses out there! good luck.

    If you are really in love with the dress and can't find another you like quite as much, I would ask her if she might be ok with wearing the dress for just the ceremony and bridal party photos and then let her change into whatever she feels most comfortable in. You might let the other bridesmaid do this too in case one was just being supportive about the dress you like but is really not that comfortable in the dress either.

    I would keep looking until you run out of time to find something that everyone is comfortable in. You may not find something that everyone LOVES but they should at least be comfortable.
