Hiya wanted some advice, What kind of style dress do you think will suit bridesmaids that are a little big (don't know their definate sizes yet) because i want them to feel comfortable and i'd like it to flatter their shapes instead of making them feel uncomfortable? x

you best bet is trying on loads of different styles and letting them choose between them what style they are all comfortable in.

The best advice i can give is take them shopping to try some on! Perhaps make a day of it, try some on then go for lunch HEHEHE

i have got the same problem with my neice. she is going to be my flower girl and is quite chubby. she was nearly 11lb when she was born and going to be 3 when we get married.
I think the best thing to do is what has already been said take them shopping to try the dresses on. xx

<<< LOOK! ITS A DICTIONARY!!!!
I'll be 9 when I get married....
I took my girls out with me for the day and they tried on loads of styles. One is a size 16, 20, 14 & my 12 year old niece is on the larger side... all varying shapes and sizes. We had a fun day... We're getting the dresses made for us... the colour theme will be the same throughout, but my girls are having slightly different styles to suit their shape comfortably - Their decision :)) Xx

Ive got 2 of my sisters being my BM and im lettign them choose what they wnt to wear but i get to choose the colour. I want them to feel comfortable in what they wear as they have to wear it and also they said they would pay for their dresses which is a huge help so i cant exactly say i want you to wear this and here you go its going to cost £xxxx amount. As along as they are happy and im happy with what they are wearing. I even told them it doesnt have to be the same dress as they are built completly different and there is no way we'd be able to find a dress that they both liked never mind that suited both of them thats just asking too much

The one who doesn't live near me, she tried on loads of styles with her mum and got pics taken and then sent them to me which ones she preferred. So we went from there. Xx
CommentAuthorClarabella
That sounds like a good idea as then you can see what she likes. Can you not do the same and try bridesmaids dresses on and have pictures taken so you can send to her so she knows what you like??

Pixie where are you getting your dresses made and how much? I'm looking for someone in the area....
I would say that satin isn't that forgiving for lumps and bumps of any shape but if you have an organza overlay it helps to hide them.

I have 2 larger ladies as my BMs and one small bridesmaid who is very curvy plus a skinny mini flower girl - i just want them all to be happy with what they wear so am taking them out for the day round as many dress shops as possible to see what suits them! x

Im leaving my daughters dress till the last mintue as she is only 4 months just now and is still fitting into clothes that say newborn and 0-3 months??? So who knows what size she'll be. She was a small baby when she was born at just 5lb 6oz xxx
