I like the Auburn suggestions, except for the strapless for Pref. I know some girls will choose strapless, but I would never recommend it. Too much tugging and insecurity, and very few people really look good in that style.

ETA: I sing for weddings, so I go to an average of 20 or more weddings a year, and 99.9999999% of brides are choosing strapless gowns. Only about 10% of brides look good in them and can act composed and comfortable. When they also choose strapless for bridesmaids, all hell breaks loose. There is always the bigger girl who has overhang, the girls with tattoos, etc. Just not a great choice in most cases.

That's because it's all the bridal shops are pushing. Probably because a strapless means that you need to buy necklaces and bracelets and a more ornate veil to go with them. Everyone needs to follow Kate Middleton's example.

And I feel SO sorry for these bridesmaids stuck in them. I don't know why mothers (of the bride and the maids) aren't stepping in and telling the bride that it doesn't make her prettier if her maids are in dresses that do nothing for them.
