Ok so I have 12 bridesmaids all different sizes. They range from 0 - 22. I am having trouble finding a dress that will be flattering on all of them. My colors are black white and pink so the dresses will be all black. I picked a dress [in my photo album], can you please take a look and let me know if you think this will be ok for my larger girls. I'm worried. The dress is Bill Levkoff Styke Number 627.
I know this is a total PITA, but for a wedding i was in last summer, all of the BMs went to try dresses on together and show the bride. I know the cut is impt on a larger girl, but so is the material. She may feel better having it in her hands. Just another option!
I'm probably going to have 9 girls and i'll have a very similar problem. I've gone back and forth on just letting them pick their dress from one designer that i specify, including the right colors and the fact that it has to be floor length. Then i find a dress that i love and decide they dont get a choice LOL!

Sorry girls, I added the dress.
I really don't want them to have different dresses, I would like them all to wear the same dress. I didn't do strapless cause of the varring cheast sizes. Let me know your thoughts on this dress though.

I think its a very beautiful dress. I think it is going to be one of those situations where they are going to have to try it on. I think heavier girls might feel alittle uncomfortable with any dress you choose.

you know it is hard to picture the dress on a heavier girl because that's not what the photo shows, but the dress is so beautiful and simple that, when sized to the body it's on, it will look amazing on anyone!!!!!

THANKS! I hope so. I keep telling myself they are going to alter it so it fits each girl perfectly.

I think it could work...it's really hard to tell. I'd maybe give them the chance to try it on?

Yes it is.. thats why i decided to go with a SMALL bridal party. we are going to have over 200 ppl at the wedding and i chose to only have 1moh 2bm 1fg i figured it would be much easier.
the only thing i think might be the issue is that it seems to be fitting for ppl with a small waist or it could just be the picture?

I think that's a nice bet...it should be flattering on different body types. Maybe send them a picture and see what they think?

Honestly, I dont think that dress will good on everyone. The best dresses that will flater the most people is an A-line dress. Also, but the heavier girls in the black

This dress is A-line. I was only looking at a-line or ball gown.
