I would really appreciate some input from you ladies on the bridesmaid dresses. OK. I have 2 bridesmaids and 1 moh (my sister). Here is the problem. My sister purchased her dress. It is so pretty I wanted all the girls to wear it but she complained she wanted to be separate from everyone else. ok. When bridesmaid 1 went to look at the dresses, she found a different style she looks great in. When bridesmaid 2 went to look for dresses, she didn't like anything else other than my sister's dress (she is SUPER self-consious of her body which i respect). However, my sister will be wearing it strapless and she would wear a jacket with it to cover her arms and back (her insecurities). The problem is my sister and mother INSIST that the MOH stands out from the others and insists bridesmaid 2 pick out a different dress.
I also have to mention that bridesmaid 2 lives in NY and is flying down to the wedding and my sister lives 15 min away. Also the dress was found in a boutique in NY at their liquidation sale for $35 instead of the usual $145. I would prefer my friend, who is a single mother and low on cash, to save the $100 and use it to come down here for the wedding AND feel comfortable in what she is wearing.
Am I being unreasonable to think that she should be able to wear the dress with a jacket and my sister should suck it up? Sorry for the long post, i am just upset that I am being told how my wedding should be.
