Choices.... (thanks Scooterpie!)

So I'm stuck on this bridesmaid dress thing (sorry to bring it up in technically the third post. I mean really, i'm sorry) but I'm looking for some opinions because at this point I don't have anyone to bounce the ideas off of ha. They will all be in a deep royal purple and if the picture shows two tone then I think I would do the belt or whatever in a dark silver or charcoal color.  (Feel Free to vote a few times to show your favorites)

My pics didn't work so check out Scooterpies pictures she put up for me

EDIT: My girls are all skinny minnies. Smaller than me if you have looked at my dress fitting pics. 5'2- 5'5. No one weighs more than 135lbs if that. And in case this matters no one has big bosoms.

I think it depends on the heights/ shapes of your BMs.  I've been programmed to look for figure flattering dresses, which for the most part I've found empire/like dresses (anything that has it's tightest point under the bust) works nicely.  I like 4 a lot... and 8, 1, 2

I voted for number 7, but that shawl thing is awful. I also really, really like 1 and 3.

Over Thanksgiving, my aunt brought me her bridesmaid dress that she wore 35+ years ago at my parents' wedding.  It was bright pink, lots of coverage, cap sleeves.. you get the idea.  It got me thinking about how fashion changes so much over time... so I've tried to think about picking dresses that are somewhat "classic and timeless" to avoid too much laughter  and regret when looking at my wedding pictures down the road... especially laughter from my future kids and grandkids   I think that mindset would scare me away from the skirt on #3.  Just my opinion though.... all are very pretty!

Love number 3!!! Number 4 looks a little old to me

I'm leaning towards 2 now. I was kind of stuck between 2 and 4 and I talked some dresses over with my MOH. I was really drawn to number 3 but I decided that without me being able to see it on someone it was just too risky of a purchase. Like how puffy is it really? And how would it really look on someone short like 5'2 istead of prob 5'10 like the model? And if the girls have to hem it they will hem from the bottom and now will that effect the overall look? Can you tell I've thought this through! lol

That's a really good point!! Wow I ordered my dresses in October and I already forgot how much of a process it was to decide. I had both varying sizes AND heights (size 2-22, 5'6-6').. Praying it worked out. Good luck!!
