Bridesmaid Dresses

So I really wanted my bridesmaids to all have dresses that they really would wear again - and with chocolate brown as the color - this should be no problem, right? Brown is the new black, so they say. 

Well, all my lovely ladies are different shapes, ive got curvy, stick thin, very tall, very short, giant boobies, teeny boobies, etc. This is what happens when you have 7 girls... 

so picking one dress or even two dresses was out - i could see it being "unflattering" on someone... so then i thought - well, let me pick a designer and everyone could pick one dress from that designer in the dark brown/chocolate/espresso hue... except all the designers i loved - jim hjelm, namely - had dresses wayyy above the $100 price range i wanted to stick with. i cant justify a $200 dress for my BMs when I only spent $100 on mine!

which brings me to plan c - now my brilliant idea. im letting my girls all wear ANY dress of their choosing, from any store, as long as its a dark brown... even if the colors are a little off, everyone will be comfortable, wearing a dress they are comfortable in, something they each like individually, spending an amount of money they are comfortable spending.

So now ive been perusing all sorts of websites finding all sorts of great dresses - some of my favs - overstock.com, and victoriassecret.com. Also, there are some great dresses in the ann taylor line ( a lil pricey), as well as, lots of good ideas on nordstrom.com!
