I like the first dress, but it has that weird pick-up detailing on the skirt, which always looks like static cling to me.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm dubbing this Aimee Day and will henceforth wear whatever the trend is on the 31st of May.
I agree with this practice and will post haste change into my gauchos, puffy sleeved blouse, and wedges!

It really does look odd, huh?

Aimee, I kinda-sorta like the dress you linked to, but I'm always wary of dresses where they don't show you what the dress looks like on someone standing naturally. I worry that the ruching on the skirt would look rumpled instead of deliberate. I also think that strapless bridesmaid dresses are a touch cruel to the bridesmaids; heaven knows *I* wouldn't want to wear a strapless dress in someone's wedding.

I'm back from the hairdressers. I hate the cut and am resisting the urge to attack it with scissors.

Good call.
When I was first choosing dresses, I was the largest sized of the wedding party and thanks to my great-grandmother's foundation items I inherited, I felt good wearing a strapless dress. I forgot that my sister just replaced one of her girls with her other friend who is larger than I and would probably not be comfortable.
The other direction we're thinking about going is David's seperates and telling the girls, "Choose whatever, just choose Apple."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Out of all of the full-length dresses in Apple on that site, I'd choose this one: [link]
It's the most generally flattering, and it comes with a wrap for those who are self-conscious about their arms.
I'm also a fan of letting the women choose what they want, as long as it's in the right color.

Spaghetti straps can be tough for some, though.
As long as you've picked a very specific color (Apple rather than "red"), I think letting people pick their own can be really interesting visually.
ETA: does separates mean no dresses, just two pieces? And what time of day is the wedding?
