Does this bridesmaid dress look "skimpy"?

I don't think it's skimpy. Absolutely no cleavage and would be entirely appropriate in warm weather.

Devil's advocate: She may have meant that the material looks thin, especially if your friend is wearing a multi-lining dress.

That dress is a classic and very pretty. There is nothing skimpy about it. If you like it and the bride likes it, that is all that matters.

Not skimpy at all, I think it looks great!

What does she want them to wear? Something that only shows their eyes? WTF

I expected to see a super short bandage dress with a deep v neck. This is absolutely fine.

I was expecting something super short, tight, or revealing based on the word "skimpy" but I wouldn't use any of those words to describe the dress. Guess your mom and others just have different ideas of what "skimpy" means. I think it's a cute dress and the V neck is different compared to a lot of other BM dresses (strapless, one shoulder, etc.). My BM's chose an illusion neckline because they thought it was different from the norm.

I think it's fine, but if someone is more modest I can understand how they could think it is skimpy.

Honestly, it really depends on your body type. On me, it would look too skimpy because I wear an H cup! LOL

What is your body type?

Lol I was expecting this to be like a two piece dress with a crop top or cutouts. That dress is a very standard (and pretty!) bridesmaid style.

Definitely not skimpy. remember, the models are also usually a lot taller than your average person, so the skirt will be knee-length on most people and not look so short. Can you send your mom photos of a BM actually wearing one? That might help - when I got my BM dress for a friend's wedding it looked really tiny (strapless and short skirt) but once on we realized it actually was knee-length and looked fine.

It's very cute and not at all skimpy.

Lol not at all - I was definitely expecting something worse!

The model isn't showing any cleavage, so maybe it had to do with baring your legs? I don't know, but I think it's perfectly appropriate.
