@JuliaH17: Hi there. You can do either. I like the dress that you have chosen, but I don't see anything less formal with missing the dresses up and in fact I really like that look. The only thing is that the dresses should all be different, having 2 or 3 the same won't have the same freel or look. Just my 2 cents, hope that helps!
I like your idea about your two sisters wearing the same dress (the one they liked) then have the other girls choose a dress that they feel comfortable, win-win!
If the pregnant BM buys a larger size she can get it altered, but it would be less headache for everyone if you let everyone pick their own dresses.
Why don't you just let all the girls pick a dress in the same line of dresses, so they will be cohesive like your sisters want while still giving your pregnant friend options that may work for her. A non-pregnancy dress that has an empire waist can be ordered with extra length then hemmed according the the evened out length with the belly underneath right before the wedding. We did this for my sister and it is working out perfectly (chiffon dresses from priscilla of boston, all were $160 I think, we ordered them during a 20% off weekend, which they have often)
my sister got this dress, she looks super cute in it, she'll be 9 months pregnant at my wedding, due date 3 days after the wedding.

They have maternity dresses. My friend's wedding I was just in, her MOH was 8 months pregnant and she wore the exact same dress as us just hers was "maternity". It looked the same, but made to work with her pregnant belly so you could see what dresses they carry for regular and maternity if you want everyone to look the same.
I allowed all my bridesmaids to pick whatever dress they wanted as long as it was in truffle, and I have to say it added a lot of interest to the wedding and photos to see everyone in their different dresses, I actually think the whole matching dress thing may be a little boring (just my opinion!) and my girls loved that they got to choose which dress they wanted and they were very excited about dress shopping and seeing each others dresses. I dont think it will take away from the formality of the occasion in the slightest, sure its a bit more modern but that doesnt mean less formal!
Thanks for all of the advice bees! I ended up letting each girl pick her own dress as long as it was black chiffon and floor length. My sisters picked out the same dress and theirs has a little white so will stand out. Thanks again! :-)

Ok so, I haven't posted on here a lot but need some advice! My wedding is in December and I'm pretty much going with the winter/Christmas thing since my fiance and I started dating and got engaged in December. I decided to have my BMs wear black since it's classic and something that could potentially be worn again. I toyed with the idea of letting them pick out their own long black dresses because I'm not that picky, we could go shopping together, and they can buy something they truly like (also, I'm sick of looking at BM dresses online). My sister (MOH #1) thinks it would be better for everyone to match since the wedding is more formal (nighttime reception in a ballroom). So we talked about it and I pretty much decided to have the girls wear this dress: http://www.jlmcouture.com/Lazaro/Bridesmaid/Additional/Style-3991 it looked really good on both my sisters (both MOHs) in the store. (Also, not as pricey as I thought it would be since we get a discount) However, over the weekend, I found out one BM is pregnant and due 1 month after the wedding! I'm super excited for her so now wonder if I should go back to letting the girls pick their own dresses so she won't have to be different. I could also have my sisters who are twins and co-MOHs wear the same and let the other 3 pick their own. Sorry for the long post...I'm just confused!
