Hello!
When choosing bridesmaids' gowns, take some factors into consideration. Most bridal parties don't consist of the same body shapes - think of Cousin Heather who is a little hippy and Sister Leah who has a very full chest. The more bridesmaids you have, the more issues you may have to address if you decide to use only one style of gown. I have advised that the bride pass on the idea of all girls wearing the same gown and that instead allow the bridal party to choose the gown that fits their individual figures AND budgets. The bride will determine the length, color and fabric she would like the bridesmaids to wear, but then allow the bridesmaids to find the gown style that might address that physical concern they have, and might actually impress them enough to wear again after your special day!  Not all gowns are the same price either, so a bridesmaid can discreetly look for a gown that suits her budget a little better without being embarrassed or drawing attention to the fact that she might be on a tighter budget than the rest.

Most bridesmaids are very kind and want to do anything they can to make the day perfect for the bride. So why not do the same for them and suggest that they wear something that will make them feel special on your big day too?  Bridal diplomacy 101...
