I think that would be adorable!!! Would your dress be 50s-style, too?

Bright solid-color florals for each BM is a great way to make it not too busy:

-Each BM has a single kind of flowers, but in a different color (yellow callas, green callas, purple callas, etc.)

-Each BM is assigned a color but has a mix of flowers (white mix, blue mix, yellow mix)

-Each BM has the same color flowers but different types (pink roses, pink peonies, pink gerberas)

I think carnations or gerberas would be an adorable way to go with the super-sweet 50's theme. Oooh I'm having so much fun thinking about it!  

Actually, I think you could probably find that kind of dress at a place like Nordstrom or Macy's... I would totally wear a polka-dot dress to a wedding or a summer party, as long as it's not an ugly dress. :-D And it's not like you're going to be standing with all the other BMs the next time you wear the dress...

Dont worry about wearing the dress again!  I would definitely have ONE colour for flowers, like all red or all bright pink, I think with the black and white alternating the last thing you want is a mix of colours in your flowers, and I wouldnt even add green.  Hang some of this kind of fabric up in your house for a week or so, you will get some ideas, and likely edit some you already came up with.  

I think it would be really cute, but I would put them all in black with white dots instead of alternating.  But I am biased because I own a black sundress with little white polka dots that would be a great BM dress.  The shape of it is similar to http://www.edressme.com/10986.html, but with a simple white ribbon around the waist, and the dots are small and regular instead of splotchy.
