Anyone used Convertible dresses for BMs?

I'm tempted to have these as my BM dresses, but I worry about the support they provide being enough for the girls to feel comfortable dancing in and everything.  The style options would be flattering on the girls body types, but one is quite well endowed up top, and another will still be breastfeeding so she may be as well and I want to make sure they feel comfortable.  Has anyone used these or worn this type of dress, and if so did you use the bandeau?

Avoid these dresses at all costs. Unless someone is a size 2/4 and is very small chested, these dresses end up looking horrible and provides no support, even with the bandeau.  In order for the fabric to be able to go in that many different directions/styles, it is very thin and shows every lump, bump and imperfection.

Thanks @QueerFemme, I think my largest girl is a size 6, but I definitely have qualms about the support issue.  The girls are scattered and I'd like to avoid David's (as a BM they sent my dress to the wrong address, it was quite the cluster), looks like back to the drawing board.

Have you thought about just getting the dresses from a regular store rather than a bridal shop? It provides way more affordable options.

Consider just picking a designer that all of the girls can get all over the place.  Alfred Angelo and Mori Lee are both good, relatively budget friendly choices.  You can pick the dress and the girls can find a salon that carries that designer close to home.  They are all over the place.

Even with a size 6, anyone bigger than an "A" cup risks major wardrobe malfunctions.
