Which BM dress? *flash*

MrsMac2be, 8 July, 2014 at 20:15 Posted on Planning 0 23

Myself and my BM's have looked at BM dresses and they quite like either of these two (in sage green), they are from ebay though which does include the risk factor but my budget is quite low for the ladies.. which would you prefer? If neither then I wont be offended Smiley smile

    I like the second one. The first one looks almost like a bride's dress to me. The second one has a bit of glamour to it as well, the first is more elegant.

    I like them both- not much help; however, I'm just over 5ft with ane/ f cup chest and I prob couldn't pull off the second one as the band would cut me in half- making me look shorter and my boobs would fill a large chunk of the top half so if I were you bridesmaid it would be top dress for practicality reasons

    I think I prefer the top one. The second one has a lot of detail up top which puts me off a little. That is just personal taste though because both look pretty. What are their shakes like? Could you afford to order just one of each for the largest bridesmaid and use this to decide rather than order them all. You could alway ebay the extra dress. X

    I prefer the first one, but they are both lovely dresses. Thinking the first dress would suit more people's figures more.

    I really like them both! However a girl I know who recently got married had the 2nd dresses as her bridesmaid dresses and they looked fab! :-) x

    I'd be concerned that the second dress wouldn't look flattering. They are both nice but I would choose number 1.

    I prefer the first one but that is mostly because I think it would look more flattering on different body types. You can also ask your bridesmaids and see what they say. Some of my bridesmaids didn't like any dresses with too much sparkle because they thought it would look too much on the day.

    Searched the second dress and it looks like it has a low back and those with larger chests may feel uncomfortable not wearing a bra. If you go for this dress, might be best to ask for definite what the back looks like.

    The first for me. I've seen the second a lot on fb just lately and lots of brides complaining when the colour they've ordered is wrong when delivered

    Personally I prefer the second one but the girls in the lovely grey dresses are not wearing ones from ebay - they will be wearing the expensive version that the China seller are ripping off. I would worry these will look very cheap compared to that image and therefore would go with the first as I think they will be a better result for a cheap china dress.

    This one is nearly 3 times th price of the ebay version and you can tell does not look as beautiful as the original grey image. Just beware.

    Thank you for flashing the back of the dress, now that puts a whole different perspective on things as 2 of my ladies are larger ladies and I don't think that they would be at all comfortable in those Smiley smile

    My cousin ordered 4 of the 2nd dress and when they arrived she cried...the back was terrible and not made well. Spent another £80 each sorting them, the seamstress did say through that the material was good and they weren't badly made just didn't do a good job of the back bit. I think the first dress is really lovely if it's made well! Good luck choosing you BM dresses xx
