Hi, so I've been having trouble finding bridesmaid dresses! The main problem I seem to be having is that brands don't produce the same dress or similar dresses in "plus size". Has anyone else experienced sizing issues at all? If so I would be so grateful to know how you got round this or if you found a brand that catered for all sizes!? Or any suggestions whatsoever are welcome! Thank you in advance xx

Dorothy Perkins do ‘curve’ ‘tall’ and ‘petite’ versions of most of their bridesmaid style dresses - plus maxi & knee-length versions of a lot too - I found they were great for my bridesmaids who were different shapes & sizes

I'd also recommend ASOS I was a plus size bridesmaid and wore a tfnc London plus the same dress which they also do in the standard tfnc range. Also chi chi is great too for all sizes. Xx

Simply be. I had bridesmaids from size 10 to size 20. Not many do much range in sizes, I found it hard to get them. I got my bridesmaid dresses first then picked my colour scheme to match as was so hard X

We got ours from chi chi. Smallest fit my 12 yo and up to plus sizes. 👍 chose a not so "bridesmaidy " style so they could wear again but had others that were more traditional. Good luck xx

I would recommend going for a multiway dress, they are fully customizable. So doesn't matter what shape or size they fit beautifully :)

Dorothy Perkins range are good, think they come in standard, petite, tall and curve ranges

Fiona Paxton

I got mine from chichi they did the style I wanted from a size 8 to 26. And they do a tall range too.
Not all dresses are in all their diff options but worth a look, they made my bridesmaid shopping task a lot easier than I thought it would be. And good prices too (admittedly we got them in a sale but would have happily paid full price for them!) Plus great quality x

I used multiway dresses. Great for all my bridesmaids including one that was 9 months pregnant. They were from the daintyard on etsy but other people do them too.

Lindy Bop do wonderful dresses in plus sizes.

I had to fit everyone from size 6-14-16-20 some petite and some tall. Nightmare. Marks and Spencer’s do bridesmaids dresses, so I managed to get 4 multiways in everyone’s size. The other option I considered was having 2 different but complimenting dresses, such as 2 in navy and 2 in silver or something as a way of getting the right size. I would shop about some of the more high street names xx

Have you considered having the same colour and length dresses but slightly different styles? Chances are if your bridesmaids are different shapes and sizes one dress won’t suit all. Wed2b do sizes 4-22 and their dresses are lovely. I used them for my bridesmaids and received loads of compliments.

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 11 Sep 2018

Depending on the dress size of your bridesmaids quiz go up to a 20 x

dessy group dresses are made to measure. so doesnt matter what size the bridesmaid is it will be tailored to her. More pricey than some but worth it for all of the girls feeling comfortable in what they are wearing

Davids Bridal do plus sizes. Not many stores in UK. I can recommend the Watford branch. Excellent service. Very helpful, and a huge range of colours and styles.

Try Dorothy Perkins I got mine from there I have a petite size 6, size 14 & a curvy 20 in my bridal party they do a specific petite, standard, tall & curves range xx

UKbride Member 11 Sep 2018

I haven’t bought from here before, but am considering it (depending on price) - Dessy Dress do sizes US00 (UK 4) to 30W (UK 34 equivalent). They do similar dressed in different styles, too, if you’re interested in that.

I had 3 bridesmaids of varying sizes and shapes (and ages). Instead of insisting on a certain style, I themed them by colour. It meant that my bridesmaids all looked beautifully unique but unified at the same time. They looked amazing. My sister was a size 20 and we found that there were a few designers that catered for the larger lady... speak to your local Bridal shop and they can give yo a good idea. However you need to get them sorted soon as possible as most gowns, particularly in larger sizes need to be made and take anywhere from 6-8 weeks and then you'll need to allow time for alterations.

UKbride Administrator 11 Sep 2018

I got mine from chi chi London, lots of their dresses come in the standard and curve range so you can get a big range of sizes xx

Hi, the best solution would be to go for multiway dresses because these dresses can fit most sizes (20-50” waist).

You could always try to find the same colour dresses but in a different style and shape to match each of your bridesmaids. You could also ask for their opinion to do they are included on your special day
