most of the girls in my BP are thicker or a lil heavier than the average girl. what kind of dresses would make a heavier/thicker girl feel more comfortable? i want to make sure i pick a dress that the girls will feel pretty in.

i'll take any suggestions.....material....strapless, halter, spaghetti straps...etc.
thanks! (my dresses will be floor length)

I highly suggest using something A-line. It will help balance out the hips and waist. Im a bit thicker in the middle and i did that with my dress and it hides my hips and thighs so well! Also, a sash around the waist can help accentuate the waist and help it look more shapely. Hope that helps!

I did strapless with a sash lower than you usually see on the waist so it would draw attention away from their mid region.

I worked at a bridal shop and for heavier girls I used to recommend a euro satin or regular satin for a material... Chiffon can sometimes cling and taffeta is an iridescence and that can draw attention to the wrong areas... Definitely not a small strap because that can make someone look heavier (IMO, with my experience).. I would recommend an empire waist and not so much going on in the 'thicker' sections... Some rousing (cant spell) in the waist would also hide thickness.

This is the dress my girls are wearing but in Euro Eggplant! Love it!!!!

my MOH is + and she is wearing strapless satin dress (pics in album) and it looks really fantastic on her. i would say just avoid anything that is tight or clingy...a line would probably work well.

Totally agree, I have the same situation, all my girls are size 2's and then I have one girl who is plus size, I chose satin dresses with a medium A line and it looks amazing on all of them

Take a look in my dress album, The black dress is the dress I wound up choosing for my BM's. I have 2 girls who are a little thick and the rest are all skinny as a stick lol The girls who tried the dress on who were thicker, the dress just perfectly hit their hips and had pleats on it thta didn't make them look pregnant or make them look too 'poofy' . I think the dress is just very flattering. Check it out :) Good luck!
