Hi ladies, I've been stressing about finding bridesmaid dresses in a design that covers the whole of their backs (one has a distincitive tattoo just below her neck she wants covered up on the day), would suit one tall (5'10") and one short (5'3") with big bust, in silver/grey/platinum that isn't going to cost a fortune! Its nearly impossible! Might have to resort to dress with bolero, but the nice ones are expensive and if left to her she'd just get a cheap cardi two sizes too big from lanamat or similar. Help/ideas appreciated!!
**thank you for your inputs ladies, by absolute chance I spotted two (nearly) ^perfect^ dresses in separate listings on the bay today & bought them... I'll still need to get boleros and have the dresses altered, but they'll look lovely**

P.S. the budget is tight - only had budget for one adult BM, but when SIL2B announced she was being my BM I couldn't say no... and the more I think about it, I can't imagine my BFF not being there as my BM helping me on the day & being part of it all...

VERY much appreciated Catrina - just accept my friend request, then you can see my profile & my wall, and you can put it on there, as we can't put links on the forum. Think you've just saved me another restless night - I had already looked on the bay, but perhaps I wasn't searching using the right word? (some people call them boleros, shrugs, jackets etc...) x

You might have give up on the same dress for all the bms. I'm 5'10" and there;s no way most dresses would look the same on me and my shorter friend unless they're custom made, or available in a tall size. Since you have a tight budget I second the other ladies suggesting that you look on the bay.

a lot of shops have the same dress in different lengths, we looked at a lot that had a knee length and full length version, it's a good way to get matching dresses which suit different heights x

I've now posted a site on your wall. They can make to measure and I've found them really good
