I have the Dorothy Perkins one - it's lovely! Fits well and looks more expensive than it was. I wore a strapless bra.

They look more expensive than that, OP, good find!

@Mairzy Yeah I’ve looked on both Sad I’m wanting the pastel theme so 4 different colours. It’s so hard to find 4 colours, in 4 sizes, in the same style! My budget is very small, no more than £150 for all 4 dresses Sad

Have you looked at ASOS or oasis? I think you can do better than these. What's your budget?

Dress 2 is lovely

They are from Debenhams but they are Dorothy Perkins ‘showcase’ range. I think they would either have to have clear straps or strapless bras Confused

Second. I prefer the mushroom. I’d go for a couple if different colours in the same dress say mushroom and pink. Less fusty.

The second ones are lovely on, but will you see bra straps?

I like the dusty rose one in the first pic. I don’t like any from the subsequent pics, they look cheap and don’t look like they fit very well.

I'm not sure. Are they opaque? Or can you see the outline of underwear through them?
Without wanting to sound rude, lots of cheaper dress show the outline of underwear and that is not a good look.

The first ones, in blue. V neck, empire line is more flattering to just about everyone. Blue suits blondes, brunettes and red heads, same with skin tone.

The greeny one is lovely, your bridesmaid looks a million dollars in that! It's gotta be that one, surely!

The sage green one is lovely on.

The white is actually blue! My MIL thought it was white too 🙈

I like them much better on. Not the white but green is pretty.

First pic, grey or dusky pink

Classic colours and should suit all types

Also have a look on Debenhams, my friend found some lovely dresses there and so much better value than ones from Bridal shops!

Difficult to see the second ones but I think they look more modern
What colour do you favour?

I can't really speak to the 2nd dress but if you were going for the first lot then I would go for the taupe colour. Definitely something more neutral colour wise.

Why not pick a colour and get the bridesmaids to get their own dresses to go with that colour

I prefer the second. Like the peach colour, hate the purple.
