9. Make a List
Put notes beside each name about what kind of dress you think would look good on her, how much you think is fair to ask her to pay for a dress, and anything else that strikes your fancy.
10. Reusable Hues
Dark-colored dresses like navy, hunter green, and black look great on almost every maid and can be worn to formal events later.
11. Comfort Level
If you're considering strapless dresses or gowns that don't accommodate bras, ask your maids if they would be comfortable in such a style before you decide.
12. Get It Done
Don't be a control freak and try to do everything on your own. Appoint your maid of honor or a highly responsible bridesmaid to be in charge of organizing gown purchases.
