MOH dress problems

So my MOH is my sister and she is being so picky with her dress!!! I'm letting her and my bridesmaids chose their dresses but everytime most of the girls (including me) agree on a dress she flat out refuses to wear it.  She wants something flattering and comfortable and she's just refusing to wear anything we pick out.  She is a girl with curves, but I have other bridesmaids that have the same build as her and she still doesn't like anything anyone picks out.  Do I need to just put my foot down and have her wear a dress that she doesn't like? Oh, another thing is that she doesn't want to take the time to even look at dresses that she might like, she just keeps saying that she's too busy.  Ladies I need your help on this situation!!!

    <div>I'm assuming you are letting them choose some and eventually will pick one dress? If that's the case, you just need to be up front with your sister. Ask her when she is free so you can go with her to find some dresses that she likes then you can ask your other BMs which one they like out of those and then if it is a tie you can be the tie breaker.</div><div>
    </div><div>The other thing is to just ask her what her budget is for the dress and find your top favorites, then do a majority rules thing.</div><div>
    </div><div>If you are up to it I would just give certain requirements like designer, length, and color and let everyone choose their own dress so your sister can't complain about anything dress related.</div><div>
    </div><div>Good luck.</div><div>

    I think that you can easily solve this problem if you give your friends (meaning WP members)  a color and a length and then let them choose the dress that they want to wear.  The days of matchy-matchy WPs are steadily fading away, and that's really good news!

    Good luck.

    This, exactly.  My ladies had different bodies and style so I let them choose what they wanted.  They were much happier that way and they all looked great.

    So work on some things unrelated to the wedding party outfits.  There is no reason to have your girls buy something that's going to sit in their closet for 8 months.

    There are plenty of things to do now that don't involve dresses for your friends and family.  Seriously, let this go.  You'll be happier and so will your WP.
