Hi ladies! Need some advice-one of my bm's is not happy with the dress i chose for them, she thinks she will look bad in the dress because she is bigger than the other girls. The dress is lazaro 3142 (feel free to look up)-she is not even big!! We are all a size 4-6 and she is probably a 12/14.
She text me that she doesn't think she will look good in the dress and may have to step out. The sample size that my sister and I tried on in the store I bought it at was a 6, so I found another store that has a sample size 12, I told her we can go there and try it on. I do not think it will look bad at all!! All of my other choices were the same style-all mermaid or trumphet-which is 100% my style! So, any way we go I feel she wouldn't be happy.
She does dress different than me, in that she is very conservative and dresses older than her age, where I love fashion, big jewelry-mermaid cut dresses, etc. My hips are also pretty big, and this dress actually hid them well!! But, she doesn't seem to believe me! Ughhh any advice you girls can give would be great-do I let her step out? Do I try to compromise? I mean maybe she'll try on the dress in the other store and love it-but maybe not!! I don't think it's fair to get a different dress for her.

BM Dress Drama
My BMs are sizes 0-20. I wanted everyone to pick out their own dress (same material and color), but do to everyones schedules and not everyone living on LI it was easier for me to pick one dress. I chose a dress I felt would look good on both the size 0 and the size 20. I think there were def prettier dresses out there, but they wouldn't have looked good on everyone. Maybe try to see if there is another Lazaro style she would feel more comfortable in.

Don't feel horrible. It's your day, you should have the dress & the look you want. I'm sure it'll look beautiful.

The dress is beautiful but like the other girls have said, it's definitely not a dress I would want to wear. I feel like a lot of people think they look good in a mermaid but really shouldn't wear it.
I agree! I understand why you love the dress, it's beautiful! But personally, I wouldn't want one of my girls to step down from being in my wedding because they were uncomfortable in a dress I chose. My sister is older and has two kids and my FSIL just had a baby and I know they are concerned about the dress I'm going to pick. If they end up hating the way it looks, I'll likely just let them pick their own dresses in the color and fabric I want but their style. I would rather sacrifice a dress I picked than risk hurting their feelings by letting them step down and making them feel disposable.

BM Dress Drama
So drama resolved if anyone cares-found out the BM is preggo and didn't want to tell me yet because it was so soon she is due the week before the wedding!! So, she was getting nervous and just freaking out. She won't be in the wedding now, because obvi that's cutting it too close. All of the other girls loveeee the dress. I am happy got my dream BM dress!
