What colour bridesmaids dresses that aren't black are the most flattering to the most body shapes?
I've got a bridal party of all sizes and shapes! Don't want them to wear black though — what's the best alternative?

Hi Katrina,
We would suggest darker toned dresses such as navy or dark mauve as they are flattering tones for various skin tones and figures.
That being said the fabrication of bridesmaid dresses can make a big impact and help by broadening the colours that can be selected.
For example waterfall/knife pleating is flattering on many silhouettes, our Galilee Dress here is a good example - https://www.esther.com.au/products/galilee-dress-cornflour
The pleating elongates the figure, the relaxed fit is comfortable and modest meaning that your bridesmaid are likely to feel comfortable and there is greater versatility with the lighter colours on offer such as our cornflour blue, champagne and mauve.
Hope this helps. x
