Need help...bridesmaid dresses for full figured girls...
I need some help with finding some stores and dress styles for my 2 MOH's who are full figured (one of them petite, the other one tall, both with large chests). Alot of the styles are not flattering and I need some help. Thank you.

David's goes up to size 24, and some of them can be flattering for all figures. Try there first to look at the gowns and try some dresses on. They are very easy to let you walk in and try dresses on. Lillette in Baldwin, although not extremly helpful for me had tons of full figured samples.

We went to David's Bridal and did not really love anything on them and alot of their samples were destroyed (ripped, broken zippers, etc.). They are showing so much strapless now but not sure if that's the way to go.

The alfred angelo line carries a variety of plus size dresses.

Some of my girls were full figured and we ordered gowns from Bill Levkoff. They had to pay more for the larger sizes but I have to say they all looked beautiful. Pics are in my album

My girls ranged in size from 2-24 and they got Bill Levkoff dresses that looked good on everybody. I'll try to find you a pic but I loved them and soooo many people told me that they really flattered all the figures.
It was style 401 in euro red....the pic really does it no justice though....i will post a pic of the girls
Re: Need help...bridesmaid dresses for full figured girls...
I used to work in two bridal shops.. the best advice I have to you is to get their measurements... B/W/H... they may be embarrassed, but at least get the Bust... you can then call a bridal shop and ask them to help you... Manufacturers MAY go up to a 24... and a lot go to plus, but don't advertise as much, but 24 is DEFINATELY not equal to Lane Bryant 24...
A good bridal consultant will check maufacturers size charts for you.. if you need a reputable company, please feel free to FM me!!

My sister and my cousin are both not the slimmest. My sister is very top heavy and wears a size 16. This dress made her look amazing!!! I wanted to make sure my sister looked good in the dress b/c she would be the most difficult to fit.
