Which one do you think is nicer? Bridesmaid dresses! **flash**

I would go for the short one

I like the second one and in the maxi length best I think, although it also looks lovely as a short version. Could it also depend what time of year your wedding is?

Thanks.

Our wedding is in August!

I like the second one.

I'd always for short bridesmad dresses as I hate long ones, but I think I'm in the minority!

Both are lovely, But the shorter one is nicer xxx?

I too prefer the short one. I personally think if the bride is wearing a long dress, then it looks nice if the bridesmaids are in shorter dresses :o)

I like the shorter one

I like the shorter one ... who makes it?

I prefer the second one, shorter length.

I really like the short one, I seem to be favouring short bridesmaid dresses for some reasons, my own included.

Could you ask the bridesmaids whether they would prefer short / long? I think a mixture of long/short, but all in the same colour, would be lovely.

Are the bridesmaids happy enough with their legs on show?

But I prefer the short one, personally.

I guess I go against the trend/grain. I like the longer one. It looks sophisticated and more glam, but depends upon the type of wedding you are having when/where. It also covers up the shoe issue. You'd have to have matching shoes if you went shorter yes? Some b/m are funny about their legs too: too thin, too wide, too pale, not enough tan, or streaky orangey/tan etc. Alot to think about. Regarless what you choose they are both very pretty dresses and will look lovely in your chosen colour. Good luck! =)

The second design in either short or maxi both look great

I like the shape of the ivory one better. I agree you should have a think about the matching shoes issue if you do go for short dresses. It's not an absolute must but could look a bit weird if the shoes vary too much and it can be tricky to get one pair to fit all comfortably.

Second one and short I think it'd look nice if you looked really different from the bridesmaids

I like the second one, in the maxi, it is really elegant and like the others have mentioned, it does solves the problem of legs and shoes

Clearly in the minority (of one!) but I prefer the very first dress ?

Another thing to consider is height. If you have bridesmaids of differing heights then with short dresses they all look diferent legnths on the photos whereas with long dresses they look more balanced in my view.

I really like the purple colour, but probably shorter design is better.

What size are your bridesmaids? If they're size 20 they're gonna look quite different to the stick insects in these images...so that'll affect my choice! :-)

Reeeeeeeally like the short one - gorgeous!

I'm in the minority with you Kirst, as I do too! I prefer the shoulder bit on the first one to the ruffles on the other ones

2013_bride_ where are these dresses from?

Second one for me - long legnth

I like the short one ... its gorgeous. Second choice would be the second picture x

I much prefer the shape of the second dress. I think it's personal preference whether you go short or long, I do like short bm dresses though (even though mine are maxi).

First one in long as it's elegant and I think that there's not enough opportunities to be able to wear long dresses anymore.

The short one. plus i like that design better ?
