general guidelines (colour pallate and length) - one of my friends who did a similar thing went to Bunnings and got a few colour samples from the paint section and told the girls to go and find anything they liked that matched the colour samples. The dresses came from asos.com and Myer, and ranged in price from $50-$100 (but certainly did not look cheap or tacky!). I want to do this with my bridesmaids dresses too. It's really important to me that they wear something they like and that suits them, I really want them looking like them, and not how I've told them to look! My plan is to choose a whole bunch of dresses from a website that has a selection of bridesmaids dresses (I'd prefer them to come from the same store/label so the colour is more likely to be the same), send them to the girls and get them to pick which one they want and I'll order it in the right colour. I am also going to do this, especially because only one (out of four) of my BMs live in Brisbane so it will just be way too hard otherwise. I want different shades of light blue and knee length but otherwise they can get anything they want. I just want them to be comfortable and they are all so different there is no way I could find one dress that they would all be comfortable in. To OP, it will depend if you
