Hello everyone Smiley smile

I'm having trouble with one of my bridemaids being uncomfortable with the dress I'm picking out. She says she doesn't like showing cleavage but they rest of the girls loved the dress. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable but I also don't want to go through the hassle of finding another dress for everyone to agree on. Help?

    Love those dresses. I think that the v-cut can definitely be brought in for her. She'll be more comfortable and really, it's such a small alteration, that no one will notice.

    I don't have a super large bust, but I would still feel uncomfortable. I tend to dress modestly as a personal preference. Could you do one of those convertible dresses? I think they are neat, could be used for multiple events, and gives everyone a choice.

    Update: Since the dress wasn't a finalist decision, I told the BM's that we will all go dress shopping together when she comes down for our engagement party next month so we could kk make a mutual decision. Thanks for all the advice gals!

    I gave my bridesmaids one color and one material to choose from. Bill levkoff offers like 350 different styles and each of my bridesmaid chose ine that they loved on them. Easiest decision i ever made. Not one dress will look good on every girl

    I bet you could add fabric to the top clevage area. Or since it's a DB dress she could pick out a different style. ETA: my bridesmaids are wearing either a strapless or strapped dress based on preference

    I agree with FB99- pick the color and the length and that's all that matters. I was a junior bm when I was 12 in my brother's wedding and his bride picked the same dress for all the bms with age ranges from 12-35 and obviously a dress that an adult can wear may not look best on a 12 year old and vice versa. I hated the dress and looking back on pictures it didn't flatter any of the other bridesmaids. My best friend is in a wedding party for her brother right now and she hates the dress and is considering changing dresses for the reception...I'd hate for that to happen with anyone's bridal party...just accommodate all your ladies by giving them the choice. They'll be happier in the pictures if you do.

    These are the same kind my girls are wearing! And they are just having them altered to either pull the straps up higher, or the seamstress is using some of the material from the hemming to make the v-neck a little less deep :-) Very pretty dresses!

    My wedding is a bit odd. I live in Florida, my MOH and one bridesmaid are in Missouri, where I'm getting married, then my flower girl and other bridesmaid are in Ohio. Needless to say I really had little choice but to have a perfectly mismatched bridal party. I paid for all my girls dresses (a sneaky little way to make sure the color was right) on Azizie. All my bridesmaids are in purple, one is in a maternity dress and the other two have completely different dresses. My flower girl is in green and in her own style dress. They all look beautiful and I cannot wait until the wedding because the perfectly mismatched bridal party was perfect for MY vision of MY wedding. Not everyone is okay with their girls in different dresses.

    Head up, OP. If you guys cannot decide on one dress due to modesty , alterations for modesty only are in order. It is YOUR wedding. Your vision is what matters. It's YOUR day. If this bridesmaid continues to be a problem, don't go bridezilla, but sit down with her and ask her if there's an issue that is more than the dress. Maybe she just felt left out.

    Maybe she can get a pretty piece of lace in that color to cover the cleavage area.
