Bridesmaid Dresses...

Right...
The problem is, my theme is still very much a mish mash of vintage and rockabilly. I wonder if I could combine the two in any way...This is something I'll have to look in to I think...

So, bridesmaids.
My girls are all different shapes and sizes. There is no chance I'll get the same dress to look amazing on all of them.
 This is Shanna, my childhood friend and Maid of Honor. She is super tall and super skinny!
 Becky is on the left and Emma is on the right. They were bridesmaids for their Aunty's wedding last winter. Both girls are taller and curvier. (step-sisters)
The girl in the bright blue is Sam's sister Erica. She is mega skinny and about my height. ( I'm only 5'3"!!! )

This is where my problems start!
I'd like a nice pale pink maybe, but that wouldn't suit all my girls. Neither would a darker colour. And long dresses are a bit too much in my opinion, so they would have to be knee length, meaning on Shanna and Emma, it will look great, but Erica and Becky (Becky is taller than me, but not by much) would look a bit silly! Emma and Becky ideally need something over their shoulders as they are both broader up top, whereas Shanna and Erica need something to give them some curves.
I've been hunting for dresses that would suit everyone and I don't think I will find a 'one fits all ' kind of dress. Part of me doesn't want to either. As long as they are similar I'll be happy. It's just got to show a little bit of who the girls actually are in my opinion. But there isn't a great deal I can do without deciding on my theme!
I'm definitely leaning more towards the vintage / romantic theme... these are the dresses I just fell in love with...(ignore the colours, thinking shapes here guys!)
