Need some help

I have been looking at a million pictures of bridesmaid dresses online. I want to have my bridesmaids wear a strapless A-line dress. Now the problem is a couple of the bridesmaids aren't as thin as the others and I don't want them to be uncomfortable. I can't find any dress I like that is not strapless. Any suggestions or pictures of dresses that might make them feel comfortable. I can't find anything.

you should take a smaller girl and a larger girl from your bridal party to try on dresses and you can find which dress works for both body types

That is a good idea. I didn't even think of that.

i think a line basically flatters most body types... if the bigger girls in your party feel uncomfortable in strapless maybe they can get a shawl made from the rest of the fabric of the dress so they can wear that and feel more comfy...

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I saw this jacket type thing (not ugly at all) it kinda looks like a shawl and if the girls want to take it off they can but if they don't they can keep it on. I just can't find the picture i saw anymore...lol I think i just need to start bringing them to the store to try dresses on. I just wanted to have an idea of what to look for. I think the A-Line looks good on most body types also. Thanks for your help.

I am having a similar problem...some of my girls are heavier and some are bustier...although i have not found a dress that i like...most dresses come with the option of spaghetti straps or some of the girls can have straps made...it stinks but other than a shawl those are the best options ive got

Speak to the powers that be at the bridal shop - most strapless dresses can be turned into dresses with straps..
