Freaking out about my BM's dresses!

I say go for the brown dress! It's really cute, and I think it would look good on all the girls.

no, they are not all from DB. the one i am wearing is from Ann Taylor Celebrations and the other one I honestly do not remember where the girl got hers, but I know it wasnt DB. The bride just told us all to get a chocolate brown dress we liked and it worked out well.

I love the brown dress!

Okay, so I went to DB this weekend and tried on "the brown dress" again. I found it to be really fussy. The little cap sleeves didn't fit comfortably and it was really low in the chest. Also, proportionally I don't think it will fit my sister well. I did find another dress, available in chocolate brown. I think it's a good compromise between what the girls liked and what I like. In the photo the dress has a "balloon" bottom. I don't think it's super flattering but I think we could have it altered to have a regular hem.

 

The Mocha colour will work with all the other things we have decided on and I think the cut will flatter all the girls. What's your opinion on this one

 

* please excuse the unsightly tan lines. I'm heading to the lake for the week and plan to take care of those.

I have looked at that dress but jersey material and my family genes do not get along. Clingy = bad news.

They are super cute though and look beautiful in the photos I've seen.
