Ok went today to RK bridal to get BM dresses...my MOH ended up getting one a bit different but they are VERY similar, at first all the girls liked one dress and MOH liked the other so i was like your the MOH why are we even discussing this just get the one you like hahaha...I LOVE the dresses. The only thing i feel so horrible about is that my cousin who is bigger i can tell wasn't too comfortable with the choice i asked her a couple of times and she said well i prefer the brown one(another one we tried) but if everybody likes this one im not gonna expect everybody to change it bc of me. I think shes worried bc of the fact that the one BM who tried it on, tried on a size that was even a size smaller for her so on her it was skin tight so she probably so my friend who was thinner and seeing even on her it was skintight. I saw the pic of the dress on the site so i know its not that tight...She did feel better when i told her it comes with a sash, the sash was missing at the store...I just really don't want her to feel uncomfortable

here is the MOH dress but it will be in caramel

now with the BM dresses, the first pic is how it fits and the second pic is how the top is to this dress but this dress also has straps...this dress will be in frappuccino with chocolate brown sash

OMG i know its so crazy...btw did you do the no frills program at RK bridal?

YES

ok i got the forms and everything, now she said to do it online but the form says to fax it, but just ignore what it says on the form and just do it online right?

yeah im even gonna tell them to maybe order it one size bigger and have it taken just a little bit so this way its not form fitting.

I think that's your best bet

thank you so very much for all your help i appreciate it...also want to add that the dress is dutchess satin so its not one of those clingy materials and that shows every little bump, so this fabric is actually good for her

Dutchess satin is such a rich fabric, and you're right, it doesn't show every little bump. I'm sure it'll be perfect!

thanks again

Great choices Denise. I had my sister try on your MOH dress but it didn't do anything for her so it scrapped but I do love it.

I understand how your cousin feels but just try and remind her things look so much better when they are the right size and tailored to her body.

I am sure they will look beautiful!!!!!!!!!

yeah on her the dress looks perfect, and she loves it so thats what matters...she said she cant wait until it comes in so im just glad she loves it that much

Yeah i actually just remembered that the sample was a little big on me and i tried it on to see how it would look on somebody with a big chest since on bm who has a big chest couldnt make it today...since the sample was a size bigger, it was loose on me and i text her before and reminded her of that, and how it wasn't form fitting and what it would look like if she got a size bigger and just altered it to her liking so i think that really helped

I actually ordered them in the store. I wanted to do that to make sure that all was ordered correctly. They will order them for you, but with no frills- you can not do alterations there and you get the lower price that was on the tag...

Just checked my notes... the woman who helped me to order them in the store was Allison. She was WONDERFUL...

I am trying to find a picture to send to you -- it is of my friends sister. She is on the larger size as well and the BM dresses they wore were almost the same style and I was a little nervous to see what it would like on her and it looked GREAT. It was also dutchess satin. If I can find it I will send it your way!

yeah the amount you save is real good...well the lady told us if any of us are in jersey to ship it there bc they wont charge tax, well i work in jersey so at first i said ill do that but then one of my bm's reminded me she has a house in jersey and for us to ship it there bc it will be easier that way...so were having it shipped to her house in jersey...So its pretty good bc not only did they save a little over $70 dollars but there also wont be tax on it

Re: YAY we picked bridesmaids dresses

Love them...I agree that you should have your cousin try another store with a bigger size so she can she how it will really fit....it looks like the dress would be flattering on every shape though.
