All opinions welcome!
Anyways, I've changed the bridesmaid dress three times, and no one has complained. I changed it the first time because it wasn't available at the store I bought my dress and the girls get 20 % off of their dress..
I changed it again because i've got a couple of girls that are plussized and I didn't realize the dress was made really small (My maid of honor was bumped up six sizes wearing this dress!)
So the last time I changed the dress i changed it to this

The color will be black..
one bridesmaid i had hated the first two because they were strapless...well I showed her this new dress and she was like " I don't like it either, but at least it has straps"
All my other girls are kind of irritated with her because she doesn't like anything!
What do you think?

I almost did that with my girls, have them pick out what dress they wanted...but the place I went to told me if any of them had to be special ordered they wouldn't match the color....and a lot of the dresses were to be special ordered...I chose this place to get their dresses from because they got a decent discount on it!

I love it! I think it is very classy and should fit okay on any size.
edit> I also like You Don't Know Me's idea.

You have to choose one you like and go with it- you won't be able to please everyone, so you decide- if it's one you want, then that's it. I am like you- I think about all of the girls, but at the same time, they are doing this for me, and therefore, I did my best to choose a dress I knew they'd all like. I have one plus-sized girl in my wedding-my MOH. Here's the dress I chose- I love it, and every single bridesmaid loved it too. And because my maid of honor is larger, I told her she could get a wrap type thing if she wanted for her shoulders. She loved the idea.

The only thing I don't really like about the dress you picked out is that it's a 2 piece- we wore a 2 piece for the wedding I was in, and the bottom skirt part was pretty uncomfortable and went to my belly button.
Goodluck, and remember, if it's one girl that doesn't really care for the 3rd dress, that's better than them all not liking it.

It's OK. I do have an idea for you. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding a few weeks ago and the bride let us pick our own dresses. Everyone had a different style. The only rules were : we got the fabric she wanted (chiffon), the color was the same (chocolate brown) and it was long. Then the bride signed off on all of them. She looked them over to make sure we were in the guidelines she set, but that was great because we all got dresses that looked good on all of us. We all had different body types, so our dresses accented each persons figure. Good luck with the dresses!

It's a nice dress, but it separates right where the biggest part of the belly is. If you have any plus sized girls, it will accentuate their most unflattering area :(
I went bridesmaid dress shopping w/my bridesmaid who is a size 18. Dresses like this just didn't look good on her.
I don't know what the exact cut is called, but when fabric is pulled across the waist, like this one http://www.houseofbrides.com/product.php?productid=452&cat=438&page=1
It tends to make larger girls look smaller. (There is actually a better pic of the dress on the Alfred Angelo website, but for some reason I can't post a link directly to the dress)

It sounds like she may be self conscious in anything you pick so you can't worry about it. This dress would be flattering on someone with a larger chest and someone who is plus sized. It was nice of you to change the dress to suit their needs and I think this should be the one.

It looks like a prom dress.
PS) What if you pick out a standard type of dress that is halter/strapless/sholders covered but all the same color? My girlfriend did that and it worked out great. Some styles look better on different people.

I like it. The black and classic style is great. Many people don't realize that while the Bride's choice is key at her wedding, it is rude to force someone into something they will be uncomfortable with. The bridesmaids also keeps these dresses.

I think it is a good pick if you are trying to find one dress that will flatter everyone. That said, I don't think it is very exciting. I wouldn't mind wearing it, but I wouldn't love wearing it either. If you really want all your bridesmaids to be in identical dresses, and you have a lot of plus-size bridesmaids, it's a good choice.
Otherwise, I strongly recommend going with pspoptart's suggestion of choosing a color, length, and material and letting your attendants choose their own dress.

you are never going to make everyone happy with the dress choice but if you keep it cheap they will be less frustrated.. don't listen to the crazy woman who said to get red dresses... i just had to wear one myself and it was awful for all skin tones in the wedding and looked cheap..
don't be afraid to use david's bridal... we had several dresses ordered at different times and even had to bring one back to get a maternity dress.. we were all the same color in the end..

over all not a big fan ...sorry ... i think the bottom is too boxy/straight i like the whole flowing style ... but i will say that i like the top it is very nice! you cant please everyone and i know how hard it is to find a dress lol so once you find the prefect one and one that most of your bridesmaids love ... just go for it lol
hope that helps
congrats and good luck! :)

i think of it extremely is a ideal plan, notably the inverted colours for various roles! the precise of the bridesmaids' clothing compliments your costume by using an identical fabric amassing/pass devoid of having rid of out of your glamour.
