My sister is getting married next summer and while I know it is her day to look stunning and what not, I would like to somehow avoid the stereotype of hideous bridesmaid dresses. As the maid of honor, my sister has given me free reign to choose the style, voice my opinion on color schemes, and generally have almost complete control of the whole situation. My question here is this: What style of dress is versatile enough to look good on multiple different people? I don't want this to be a situation where the maid of honor picks out something that looks awesome on her yet absolutely revolting on everyone else. While yes, I do want to look good for the wedding, I would also like the rest of the girls to look attractive as well (wow, how nice am I? jk). What sort of styles, cuts, fabrics, etc, should I be looking for? Any suggestions or ideas would be very much appreciated...

Hum... I see the problem. It can also become particularly irritating if your bride has decided for some reason to have a crazy number of bridesmaids. Have you looked into the idea or all the dresses being that same colour, but different styles that suit everyone individually. It can give a nice variety to the wedding party, but keep them similar.

Empire waist dresses generally look fab on girls of all shapes. Avoid the thick shiny “bridesmaid” materials. Opt rather for a soft flowing feel.
Thin straps can add an elegant subtle sexiness to the dress. Halter-top style tying around the neck and crisscrossing in the back are my recommendations.
Summer weddings = above the knee

Once you get to 10 it's too many. Under 10 and you are golden.

Interesting... I think that 3 bridesmaids is around perfect. It gives people something to look at (when they aren't looking at the bride of course) and keeps the groomsmen interested (Unless of course it's like Vince Vaughn and Isla Fisher in The Wedding Crashers) - Good luck!

Well I guess if you only have three close friends, it would be lovely and elegant to have just three bridesmaids. But on the other hand, I believe that if a bride has many close friends and it pains her to chose between them, she shouldn't have to chose! It's her day and if she wants to have her best friends up there with her, the ones who have helped shape her into the person she now is, sharing what is probably (hopefully) the biggest moment of her life, then no rules of proper etiquette should deter her. Heck have 10 if you want to! :-)
