  I am doing the same thing although I only have 4 BM's at the moment  (still waiting for FI to figure his side out)  I am in the process of updating my planning bio, and posting pics of the dresses that they can choose from. As a girl makes her decision or gives me her favorites, I will note it on the page and I'm going to tell them first come first serve.I don't really anticipate a problem though because there are SO many choices and the dresses are all very similar.(Jasminebridal.com B2 line) Plus two of my girls are OOT so i think the onlline thing will work out nicely (fingers crossed)GL

  I too did the same thing, but I gave them 3 designs to choose from. I just basically let them try them on and helped them choose which one fits their bodies better. Especially because some have much bigger busts while others have much much smaller ones (my poor little sister).

  I hear you on the different sized ladies! MOH will be post baby, 1 BM is amazingly curvy in all the best places (ugh!) and another runs triathalons (sp?) and has no curves at all :)This is why they will be wearing different dresses. I want everyone to feel comfortable in their dresses.

  If you think they are the type to possibly argue over the styles then maybe it's easier for you to just chose for them... good luck. Not easy! Ann I have the same issues w/ pregnant bms... that's why I chose a dress that SHOULD be flattering on all figures...

  i wanted the girls to chose their own, but it was too difficult. they definitely would have fought over styles or just been "whatever" about the issue. it was easier to just pick a dress for them. and since the dresses were short, they're rewearable by default.

  I tried to go that same route. Initially I thought they could all pick their own style since they all have very different body types and that would make everyone happy. Thing I didn't realize is that BMs are never happy lol. We went, everyone picked dresses...no one purchased them-hinting they didn't like them, so we went again and all it was was arguing and stressful and in the end I just picked a dress and said "this one" because trying to be nice, accomodating, and not 'bridezilla" was apparently not working.
  
  To put the cherry on top, no one ordered their dress still, and then sizes 6,8, and 10 were sold out...but I had already purchased my FIs daughters dress...so they were stuck, had to scramble to find them and then one ordered way to big and another too small.
  
  Needless to say, I still think its a good idea to have make everyone comfortable, but just apparently not with my girls...Read your girls, if you think they can all make appropriate decisions than go for it...less stress on you. I wish I could have trusted all of my BMs to do that, but i'm glad I didn't because look what happened!
