BM dress dilema --Advice please!!!

I am having trouble picking out a BM dress. I have two BMs who are a size 0, and two who are a size 18. I don't know what dress will flatter both body types --or a dresst hey will both feel comfortable in. Suggestions?

Re: BM dress dilema --Advice please!!!

Are you against having the 0's in one dress and the 18's in another? Or letting them all choose different dresses from the same designer and in the same color?

A lot of girls are going with separates now so that everyone gets something they like, but in the color of your choice. I know A-line is supposed to be good on everyone!

seperates are a good idea. You could have all of them wear an aline skirt and different tops

No, I'm not really against anything. I honestly don't care. BUT I think my FH, mother and FMIL would care. I know what a drag it is to be in a wedding with a BM dress you don't like --I really want all my BM to be happy. (Of course, I know that that is probably impossible, but I can try, right?)

Ya know what? I think I will email them the idea of having seperates -and they can pick their own top. Thanks girls!!!

I had the same problem and went with separates from Impressions bridal in the cinnamon color. All my girls look fabolous in them. The MOH have strapless and the BM have straps. All the girls feel very comfortable in them.

Good Luck.

Having been a BM svereal times, separates in my opinion are SO comfortable!! And make it much easier to fit vaired body types.

For my wedding, I have all sizes and all heights (and 9 girls). I went with different dresses by the same manufacturer in the same color. The girls are really happy that they got to pick the dress they were most comfortable in. Maybe it could work for you too!

We did this for a wedding I was in and it looked beautiful!! The BMs ranged from 0-20 as well. Everyone looked great.

Have the girls all pick out their own dresses.
Or have the two 0's pick out one style that they are comfortable with and the two bigger girls pick out a style that they think will fit them best. Being a bigger girl I would be offended. Since their are two of them it wouldn't be like one girl is standing out in a different dress and three of them are all the same.
