    I haven't totally firmed up my bridal party yet. I'm waiting for the Mr. to give me his final number by 1/1/10. Right now I have both of my sisters being maid/matron of honors. My colors are burgundy, cream and gold. Which dress do you like best for a Thanksgiving weekend wedding?

    Dress 1: Bari Jay 808 - In Berry





    Thanks bees!!

    I think dress #2 would be flattering on many body types.  I think I would personally need to do more arm workouts for #3.  That style always makes me feel like i have fatty wings for arms. I love the sash on #2.

    You have to have everyone try them on in person before you decide since everyone is built different. What looks great on an airbrushed model won't be flattering on 10 different body types and heights. The same applies to colors since not everything looks good on everyone due to different skin tones.

    That said, #2 would be the most flattering from that group regardless of their build (busty vs not, etc).

    I agree! #2 is HAWT! But definately should let the ladies try them on first. I think all three would look really good together. It might look cool to have them mix and match those ones. You might even end up with them all picking the same one!

    Wow thanks for replying bees!!! I have to admit that #2 is my favorite as well. I'm just not sure how it'd look on my sisters. I'm thinking of having my one sister in dress # 2 and the other sister in dress #1 but I'm not sure how that would look color wise. Luckily my sister are coming into town over the holidays so I'll be able to get a better idea as to what I'll be doing.

    Woah, I love #2 (505)!

    Maybe your maids can try them on and you can work from there?

    I love 2!  But I agree that you might be better off having them try them on before deciding

    Agree. #2 is my fave and looks the most forgiving, so I think it'd look the best on everyone! Plus it looks like if you shortened it, it'd be a super cute cocktail dress, too.

    I'm with everyone else--I like #2 the best.  I think it's going to look good on a variety of body types AND would be fantastic shortened as a cocktail dress.

    I really like the 2nd one too!  the neck line is really nice and the wrapped waist is better for anyone with a lil extra... stuff.

    Number 1 and 2 are wicked hot dresses!  I like them both but I actually heard myself say, 'Oooooooh' when I opened the photo for dress #1.

    Love it!

    Wow! I didn't read the comments first but totally picked #2 as well!!! I think that will be most flattering on all body types. The rouching at the neckline and body is gorgeous.

    Love the rich colors you are choosing, too. Its going to be an elegant and warm wedding perfect for the cold days around thanksgiving! Good choices all of them, but def #2 is my fave!

    I love number 2!  It is such a pretty cut and I think it would look great on anyone!
