Really having a hard time....

picking out a dress for my MOH who is a size 24 (currently). She just joined a gym but I am not going to pretend that she is going to be a size whatever come July 1st. I have no idea what style will look good on her since she can't try on most dresses. Anyone have pictures of a plus sized bridesmaid that they can share?

I had trouble too, with this. Some of my bm's are overweight and I really wanted them to be able to try on dresses. We had much success at David's bridal, because they had such a large selection in many different sizes.

We went to the one on Northern Blvd. in Queens. They were really helpful.

I have a problem like this too. My sister is about that size, and my bestfriend who is the other MOH is my size,which is about 7/8, (okay maybe 9/10)small waist big bottom, but anyway memorial day weekend this year my sister, and I both were in my aunts wedding and it worked out fine. She just had to have hers specially made b/c they didn't have her size. The problem was she had to buy the material, and it was very costly , but this was similiar to our dresses but two piece, and we had shawls in which she wore the whole time b/c she has big arms,and she is very top heavy.

You can't go wrong w/seprates. My 2 friends bridal party went from bridesmaids wearing sizes 2-20 and they both got seprates and everone looked good.

Also, stay away from material that is not forgiving! Chiffon is a good material that looks good on bigger girls!

This is the dress I chose for the bms. I think one had to order a size 22 and it looked really nice on her.
