dresses for plus size bridesmaids :-/

I need some ideas for dresses that would look good on my bridesmaids who are plus size.

The wedding is a summertime, afternoon wedding.

I prefer long dresses, but it's not a must.

Also, my gown has some taupe / caramel color in it (a very tiny bit) so i was leaning towards those colors for the bridesmaids as well (also not a must).

EDITED changed wording from 'overweight' to 'plus size' ... didn't mean to offend anyone with my wording ... sorry

my dress is long and chiffon so its flowy. i have girls that are 0s and girls that are plus sized and I felt like it looked good on everyone and they were all comfortable.

ITA my BMs range from a 4-26

Their dresses are from davids bridal (chiffon & long)

me too...... which one do u have?

Style F13092

It looks so much better in person

ooohhh! Thats the one we got - but in fern/gold!!!! love the dress and i think it looks good on everyone!!!

ITA

I tried it on myself first & then I told them that was the dress. Its one of the few dresses Ive seen that look good in every color. My BM are wearing it in the color shown in the pick & my MOHS are wearing it in sliver/silver

IMO.... I think it would be more polite to refer to your BM as 'Plus -sized' not overweight.

Overweight just sounds..... not nice.

I'm glad a 10'er finally said something. It kinda jumped out at me, but I didn't feel it was my place to say something.

I couldn't not say something... I was personally put off by the phrase-ology

Thanks girls - the dresses you suggested all look really good .... now i just have to choose one of those, lol :)

ps: sorry if i offended anyone with the word 'overweight' - you're right that ti doesn't sound very nice ... i remember trying to think of a better word when i wrote the original post but not being able to think (too much work for me that day hehehe) ... next time, i'll remember 'plus size' :)

My bridesmaids were all different shapes and they all looked stunning in this...bari jay 760! We did black with a white sash!

This is the same on my BM's are wearing and they range from size 4 to 18.
