opinions needed short bridesmaids dresses?

Hey girls now that I got my dress I can focus on the girls dresses. Since my wedding is in July I was thinking a short dress might be a nice option. There seems to be so many in bridal magazines. Any thoughts?

I will be doing tea length dresses! Some say shorter dresses are less formal but I do not think its the case!

Re: opinions needed short bridesmaids dresses?

I really love the tea length dresses but I am worried that they are not flattering...they tend to cut people off in a weird spot and I am worried that the girls will look stubby if that makes sense....I'd love to see pics of "normal" girls in the dress...not models

Re: opinions needed short bridesmaids dresses?

tea lengths is fine for any time- the material is what matters more than the length. I am using that length as well.

Re: opinions needed short bridesmaids dresses?

We were going to get married in July at first and if that was the case then I was going to do the t-lenght dresses but since now we are doing september I think I am going with the long dress unless there is something the girls fall in love with that is t-length

Re: opinions needed short bridesmaids dresses?

I really wanted to do tea length dresses, but my MOH REFUSES to wear them. She doesn't like her calves

I really thought it was a great idea though since I am getting married outside near the beach in the heat. Plus I feel like tea length dresses have more of a chance of being worn again.

Thanks for posting Kristen..
I absolutely adore this dress.. and am willing to buy it off of my bridesmaids, cause I would wear it again!
I think tea length dresses are perfect for most people.. as long as they are A-line

Re: opinions needed short bridesmaids dresses?

I love tea length b/c the girls can prob wear them again. I'm most likely going full length , full skirts, just because I love the way that looks when they walk down the aisle. Here is one of my favorite tea lenghts by Jim Hjelm:
