  I like it. I think it looks very nice maybe with some silver shoes.

  Also if any ladies have any pics/links they'd like to share of BM dresses, that'd be great too.  Thanks.

  I think it's cute, but honestly my MOH has recently told me I have no sense of style when it comes to wedding things.  Is your dress long or short? What's the theme of your wedding? You probably said sometime before but I forgot.

  Thanks, I was thinking of silver shoes as well.  My sister is expecting a baby in Feb and the wedding is in April, so with her in mind, I want a more flowy type dress.  Although people's experiences with David's Bridal kinda makes me nervous  :(

  Here's my dress (I think I am wearing it without the sash).  I guess we don't have a theme but its in Vegas at the Mandalay Bay.  Very small affair, 10 guests and then going out to dinner afterwards.

  Ha ha, you sound like just how I feel.  As long as its the right color, I kinda could care less.  I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way.

  Oh, beautiful! I almost feel like I'd go for long BM dresses since you're dress is so fancy, but anything works.

  Honestly, It is not very flattering IMO, but I understand that you are being considerate of your sister. I prefer a more fitted but tastful look, but since you are going for flowly I think it works. And I'm kinda like you guys, I don't care what my MOH wears , I actually told her to pick whatever dress she wants as long as it is Sangria color.

  So I like the dress. Flow is great, fits everyone's body and it looks like they can wear that dress again. For me that is the number one thing.

  I think she needs something more formal, your dress is formal and the dress you picked looks kind of junior bridesmaidish

  I agree. Your dress has a formal look (and is beautiful btw!).
  
  DB has some long chiffon dresses. That should look more formal but still work for your MOH.

  TK just ate my post, UGH.
  
  But I agree with this. Your dress has a formal look (and is beautiful btw!).
  
  I'd go with a longer chiffon dress. Your sister would be comfortable and it'll look more formal. I remember seeing several on DB.

  Thanks ladies.  The fact that the BM dress might be too casual to go with my dress is exactly what I was concerned about.  I guess I'll keep looking but I'm glad to have gotten some other opinions about this.  Who knew it would take me longer to shop for BM dresses then my own dress.

  I'm using this website: http://www.weddingtonway.com/ I'm picking out 10 dresses & letting the bridesmaids decide their top choices from my list. Their dresses start at $118 and they pull from several designers. 

  
  

  Good Luck!

  THIS! I gave my girls the color, length, fabric, and designer and told them to pick their own dresses. Giving them free reign over shoes and jewelry as well. Easier for me since I don't have to dress 3 incredibly different body types. :-)
  
  OP, I do like that dress.

  I think the dress is okay, but it doesn't compliment your dress very well. The lapis color is lovely, but it will fall fat next to you.  The other concern I have about the style of the BM dress is how will it fit on a full busted woman.  The way the bust is cut will be hard for a woman with a full bust to wear.  Something else to consider. I think if you select a long gown in a chiffon it will work well with your wedding gown.

  I agree that the dress is nice but it doesn't complement your dress well. Something long would be nice. Or even something short but a little more formal.  Your dress is beautiful!
  
  Here is my brides maids dress . My color is Watermelon. 
  http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Satin-One-Shoulder-Dress-with-Ruched-Waist-84333_Bridal-Party-Bridesmaids-All-Bridesmaid-Dresses
  
  I gave them 4 or 5 dresses that I liked and let them choose the dress.  It is only 2 people so it was pretty easy.
  
  BTW I'm an MB bride too!

  Until the first full year of being one!
