My MOH and four BMs are all wearing this dress in plum for my fall wedding, and they are going to look stunning!
I had the challenge of finding a style that would flatter all my girls, sizes 4 - 22, all of whom are pretty indecisive. The only strong opinions they had walking in to the store were 1) no strapless, and 2) that they all wear the same style dress; to narrow it down a bit further, I requested a knee-length style. This was the third dress our consultant brought out...I was skeptical, as it didn't look especially cute on the website nor in person on the hanger, but it was SO flattering on each of my girls! The cut of the dress either emphasized or created an hourglass-shape for each of their bodies. They agreed that the charmeuse was soft and comfy, but I think what they all loved most was the pockets. Furthermore, this dress has high wear-again potential.
A couple of suggestions...first, as others have stated, this dress is on the short side. My girls were all between 5'1" and 5'5", so the length was perfect for all of them - even with heels. Secondly, I would recommend this style in darker shades that will counteract how shiny the material is. In a too-bright color - or with the wrong accessories - this dress has the potential to look like something a 21-year-old would wear clubbing, but in an elegant color paired with delicate jewelry, it's a fun, sexy choice.

Perfect dress
We went into DB with a different dress in mind for my sister, one of the one shoulder dresses. She is quite busty so we knew a strapless would not work well.
I thought this dress would look terrible on her, it looks awful on the hanger, she has broad shoulders so I thought it would just make her look wider. But I was wrong. She put it on and she had a defined waste, made her look longer and covered everything that should be covered. I will admit, it is slightly short, but the bubble hem keeps it close to the body.
She loved the pockets!

Loved but not meant for taller people
I wore this dress in my best friends wedding. When we were looking for bridesmaid dresses, I tried on a similar one that was cotton and a different skirt. She loved it but then after she found her dress which had a detachable skirt that gave her a party dress with a bubble skirt, she decided that we should have bubble skirts also. I am 6'1" tall and a bigger girl. The skirt n this dress was entirely too short. We were hoping that with ordering a bigger size the dress would be longer but unfortunately the dresses size 16-24 were all of the same length. My grandma is a seamstress and she recreated the entire skirt to make it longer. I loved that I was still able to have. The same dress but I would definitely not recommend it for taller girls.

Bridesmaid Dress
I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid to one of those wonderful brides that let us pick our OWN dresses (all in the same color, of course) - and I chose this one. The Y-neck style took a little getting used to for me, but the dress was comfortable (which, for me, is key). In addition, I got a TON of compliments on this dress - it's cute, comfortable and the ruching is really flattering!
