It is up to you and your fiancee to decide. The bridesmaids dresses should be a style or styles that are complimentary to ALL figure types.

The personal preference of the bride and groom are what determine the formality. The gown should be ordered no later than 6 months prior to the wedding date. This allows up to 4 months for delivery on the gown, a month for alterations, and also allows time for the portrait photograph to be done. Most brides order their gowns 6-9 months ahead. If you are buying a custom dress, you may need to allow even more time.
