Bridesmaid dress options- my BP is a range of sizes

Alrighty- so my MOH is like...a twig. Skinny mini

so the strapless one shown is for her....its black and gold

The other 2 dresses are the plus sized options

the 2 other bridesmaids are plus sized ladies and ive discussed different options with my sister (1 BM) and she obv doesnt want strapless bc she thinks the girls will start poppin out which is fine...i dont think that would be appropriate anyway hahaha...so both of these styles come in their size and i think theyre very nice. The same fabric as the MOH dress. She has sent me links of similar dresses so i know they should be ok but before i send the email saying 'OK this is it!' i want to get some opinions.

What do you ladies think?

IMO the 1st can accomodate everyone!

If the other two are busty girls the second dress will not look right. I have a big chest and that neckline that goes all the way up to neck makes me look like they are even bigger. I like the halter top dress. HTH

Yea i thought so too but my sister says no strapless. I want them to be comfortable because its a long day. I also like that the MOH dress will be different from the others anyway.

I think the last one will look nice on everyone. But Maybe you should give the girls an option of the three and see what they all think.

You may be able to add straps... ask your bridal salon... I had to do that for my girls...

I think #2 would look nice.

I like the third option better. I think the ribbon around the waist will be flattering and the halter is always forgiving for the shoulders and makes the boobs like nice. The trapeze neckline ( I just learned that term!) might make girls with the bigger bust just look heavier on top.

I like the third one the best.. I don't know just HOW busty your girls are but I have a BM who has HUGE boobs and she can't wear the neckline of the 2nd dress because it makes her look like she has a uni-boob. I had her try on a similar dress with me and it didn't look right at all. HTH!

Re: Bridesmaid dress options- my BP is a range of sizes

I have to say my girls have different body types...bust, hips and gut wise. I was going for a tea length and it didnt look right on some of them. So we went with the same dress but, floor length and it looked great on all of them. Plus the way the dress is it flatters all of their body shapes.
This is the dress just to give you an idea.

Re: Bridesmaid dress options- my BP is a range of sizes

I like the first one for all the girls. What about getting a wrap for the bigger girls so they can cover their arms?

Re: Bridesmaid dress options- my BP is a range of sizes

I think #3 would work for everyone, but if you want two different styles I would do #1 and #3 since they are sooo similar.

Re: Bridesmaid dress options- my BP is a range of sizes

I told my girls as long as they order a capri-colored dress (David's Bridal calls light blue 'capri') that is cocktail length, I don't care what it looks like. I want them to be comfortable on that day, and it doesn't matter to me if they don't 100% match. I have a variety of sizes in my bridal party as well (hell, my sister is having a baby in late April, so she can't even try on dresses right now!!!), and I don't want them to be confined to one style. So far, I really love what the girls who have their dresses already have picked out.

Re: Bridesmaid dress options- my BP is a range of sizes

Halter dresses are always more flattering whenever you have some extra pounds. the 2nd dress is nice but it's not as forgiving as the 3rd dress when it comes to weight. I say MOH is the 1st like you said.. and number 3 for the BM's/.

Re: Bridesmaid dress options- my BP is a range of sizes

I like number one the best, and number 3 as a runner up...I probably would be most comfortable in number two, but I'm twiggy with no boobs, so as the other girls said, if a bigger chested girl wore it, could have problems.

Maybe you can add a shawl or wrap or something so the larger girls feel more comfortable?
