    Ok, so i have been staring at the computer screen for days, i have been into several stores and everything is starting to look the same. I am no good at matching dresses together without actually seeing them together. And since just about everybody else on here seems to be amazing at it, i was hoping for help.

    The wedding is formal with a 100 + people.

    My bridesmaids will either be wearing black or a dark red color.

    The guests will probably be wearing lots of black too, so i need something that sets the maids apart but that doesnt clash with my dress. I am adding a picture of my dress  and a few of the dresses i have been looking at. Also a few of my BMs are top heavy.

    Any suggestions, opinions or advice would be unbelievably appreciated!!!! i need lots of help!

    My dress: (Mine is white though, not silver)http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/broncette383/DominiqueBYmaggiebutinsilver.jpg

     

    What i have been looking at.... several of them the BMs can choose between:

    1a) http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/broncette383/SilkyTaffetachoice1of2.jpg

    1b) http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/broncette383/SilkyTaffetachoice2of2.jpg

    2a) http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/broncette383/SatinTaffetaBMchoice2of2.jpg

    2b) http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/broncette383/SatinTaffetaBMchoice1of2.jpg

    4) http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/broncette383/option4.jpg

    5) http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/broncette383/option5.jpg

    6) My fav... i think... http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/broncette383/option6myfav.jpg

    If you have top-heavy bridesmaids, they probably won't want anything strapless.

    I personally like http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/broncette383/SilkyTaffetachoice1of2.jpg the best. I think it goes the best with your dress and I love the little bit of pizazz in front.

    I agree that it depends on your BMs' figures. I wouldn't go with the last one unless they've got great butts - that ruching could be very unflattering otherwise!

    I like the teal and blue ones that have straps. I think the black one is just too much. You have a lot of dress, let the bridesmaids be simple and elegant.

    The 1A, 1B, etc makes it a little confusing when voting... Going in order from the pictures that showed up without having to click in the links, I like the first and the fourth. The second is my least favorite. I just don't think it would be figure flattering on anyone.

    I like the first one, because I feel like the cut flatters more body types and the little broach will help the bridesmaids stand out if you go with black.

    As a fuller figured gal, I'd love you most for picking 2a. Straps do not do all of us larger or busty gals favors, especially if we have broad shoulders. 2a looks flowy underneath the high waistline and that is a pretty unversally flattering silhouette. Since you had check boxes, I also picked 6 because it's my second favorite and it's close. The ruching on that is very flattering. The only thing that would make it better is losing the spaghetti straps. They cust a broad-shouldered gal up and their tiny-ness just makes any kind of broad shoulders look like linebacker material.

    My body issues, let me show you them. ;)

    Surprisingly enough after all of that trecherous indesiveness, i have selected a dress that wasn't even on the list. If your curious, i chose a dress by mori lee style number 261. It looks gorgeous on my thin bridesmaids and on my fuller figured bridesmaids! I really hit the jackpot on that one. Thanks for all of the help and advice, it sure made that a heck of a lot easier to handle!

    i have 3 BMs, all very different body types. 2 of them are very busty....strapless won't work for them. I suggest you choose something with thicker straps.
