So I told my bridesmaids since it was their money, I would let them pick their own dress. They are all picking nice dresses, but im starting to think I want them to all look the same. All of the girls are fuller girls, except for one, who is probably a size 4. Crap, what do I do??? :(
Changing mind on bridesmaids dresses.....?
Sounds like a compromise is in order. I think it would be rude to completely back out of the generous offer you made before, so you might want to think about meeting somewhere in the middle. Pick a color and a fabric, and even a length if you want, and leave the rest up to them. For example, I know in my wedding I want my bridesmaids in floor-length red satin dresses. But I don't care if they're strapless, off the shoulder, spaghetti straps, square neckline, halter, etc. That's up to them, because the same neckline/straps might not look good on every girl.

Call them all and let them know how you feel. Maybe, before you do that, you should find an example of the dress you want to choose. Then just explain that you changed your mind and that this is the dress you would like to go with. One or two may be disappointed but it's your wedding and they are your friends, so they should be understanding.
You could surprise them and buy matching for all 4 of them on a budget like I did. thought I bought my bridesmaids dresses from. http://www.blissfulbridesonline.co.uk they're gowns are all under 拢249. You can even buy a gown and underskirt for around 拢100! Post worldwide and accept paypal! Mine took less than 30 days to arrive, beautiful dresses! Hope this helps.

If theres enough time....I would call them and express to them you would like them uniform that day
I'd ask them if they've already bought them. If they have, or even if one of them has, you're stuck with your original plan. If they haven't, ask them (individually) if it would be a huge imposition for everyone to go shopping and see if you can find a dress that everyone will look good in. You need to ask them individually because if somebody has a problem, they'll be more apt to tell you if it's just you, and not if the group of them are together, and 1 of them really has a problem with it.
Personally, I think you're overthinking this one. I think they're going to look much better each wearing something different that flatters their figures. Did you ask them to stick within a color family/range? That will REALLY help to unify the bridesmaids, even if they are wearing different dresses, if they're all blue it will still look great, you know?
Good luck!
talk to them about it, if they have already paid for their dresses and cannot take them back well, you should have to reimburse them that money, because if they are like me they couldn't afford all that extra cash.
Most people will understand but don't be shocked if one or two of them get a little frustrated. I hate shopping and trying on clothes so I'd be a little bit frustrated but if I cared about you enough I'd do what you wanted!
But maybe you should have them all come over w/ their dresses and have them get dressed so you can see them all together. You might be shocked at how good they look. I like the different dresses I think it adds a nice touch to wedding parties.
girl is your wedding so do what you want to do i am sure they wont mind... You will regret it at the end if you dont say something..please say something...whatever makes you happy its your day
As long as none of them have bought their dress or can at least return it, let them know. Maybe you could ask their opinions on the dresses you are considering. Don't worry about the size 4 girl, most likely she'll look fine in what the other girls are wearing.
Sucks if they've already purchased dresses. If you've changed your mind then you should buy the new dresses or let it go and keep your word to them.
keep the different dresses but get the same color i've seen it done and it looks great
We all BRIDES change our mind all the time. If you have time to change dresses then go ahead.
I think you want some uniformity, like different dresses but all in the same color. Your bridesmaids will probably do anything you ask them. Just be nice about it.
An A-line cut dress made of Organza (not clingy) flatters most every figure small size 4 to 20. This style usually comes in a broad range of sizes for that reason. Hope this helps you and your group.
omg...i changed my mind sooo many times about my dresses too! you have plenty of time so just tell them you wont them all to have the same one! as long as no one has ordered anything, it will be a-ok!!!
Tell them that u want them to wear the same design dresses but maybe have them in different colours. explain to thme that u have changed ur mind bout what u want them wearing.
