Are all bridesmaid dresses

really big? My bridesmaids are soooo tiny. I cant find a dress that will fit them. I bought the dresses at Davids Bridal which were a size two and when i had them try it on, they were swimming in it. Can bridesmaids dresses be taken in like 3 inches?

ARghhh.

Yes, they can be taken in. I ordered my BM dresses according to their measurements and all of them were swimming in their dresses. My poor cousin. She is so tiny but has a big chest, so her dress had to be ordered to her chest size. She would normally wear a 2, and her dress was a size 10! They took it in and she says it looks wonderful.

Yep, they can be taken in a lot. For my brothers weddin, my SIL found dresses in Rochester (where they live) She got me a size 8 (she bought the only ones they had left) and I normally wear either a 2 or sometimes 0 and it looked perfect:)

oh good!!! I am so happy to hear that. My SIL is one of my bridesmaid and when I bring the dress over for her to try on I know her mother (MY Future MIL) is going to have a coniption when she sees how big it is and how much it has to be taken in.
