I have 5 bridesmaids some are thin som are not. Most are big chested. What type of dress would be best?

Question

indoor wedding in july blue is the color all are pretty close to the same height

Answer 1

This is what happend to me i had 7 girls and all different sizes..

You deff have to look around...when looking for the dress Keep in mind when looking at the dress for the girls make sure they have all different sizes..

What i did was think of the biggest girl that was in the wedding and was thinking to myself will she look good in this dress?~ and if that is a yes then u know the other girls will look good in them

Think of all the girls and think of things that they say they are unhappy about..
Exp..sholders- You u can get something with a shawl to go with them,
and so on..

look in books and the net and onces u find the dress u will know.
Or u can always have the girls pick out there own dress but in your color?~ some people do that too ? IT'S UP TO YOU IT'S yOU'R big day ;) ~

Good Luck...

Answer 2

My suggestion is Alfred Angelo. I used them for my own wedding and found myself in the same predicament as you. They offer a wide variety of styles and colors and they go well into the plus sizes to cover anyone in your party. My cousin is getting married this fall and she too is in the same boat and has just chosen a dress from there that is simply elegant, practical, and most importantly does not upstage the bride :) It is a cocktail dress so it hits at just below the knee (I don't know how formal your ceremony and reception are) and has a V front and back neckline. It also comes with a sheer jacket. The style is 6122J. Like I said I don't really know what the plans are for the type of wedding you are having but they have tons of styles. And they prices are really reasonable too.

Good Luck and Congratulations

Answer 3

My 4 bridesmaids are all very very different body types as well, from 100 lbs and flat-chested to a bigger girl who must order special bras! I didn't even try to get them all in the same dress. I just chose a color, the designer, and set some parameters such as the length of the dress. They all chose what they felt good in. If you are set on the same dress for all, I would choose an A-line gown, with something of a strap (bigger girls really need to have straps so they can wear a supportive bra) and get matching wraps with the gowns, so those who are self conscious of busts/arms, can wear them if they want.

Answer 4

I have the same problem. My bridesmaids go from itsy-bitsy, to plus size. The best dress I found was by Alfred Angelo. Everyone looks good in it! And it's only $180, but you usually get a discount at the bridal store if you ask how/if they do that.
You can go to the AAngelo site, and it's page 10 on the bridesmaids dresses and style 6716. It truly is the miracle dress.

Answer 5

If the chest is their problem, I'd stay away from strapless gowns. They will accentuate the chest area, and some may bulge out, as they can become hard to fit if the woman is exceptionally large chested. I wouldn't go with any halters, either, for the same reason. Try something with short sleeves, a sweetheart neckline, or a different type of neckline (other than straight across) to down play the boobage.

Answer 6

I have 3 bridesmaids and they are all different body types as well. I can't even tell you how many dresses I had them try on before we found one that looked great on all three of them! They are wearing a strapless dress (with the option of straps, but none of them want it). We are getting them from David's Bridal. I would search online and write down ones that you really like and take them to your nearest dress shop. David's has a website. Once you have a list get your bridesmaids together, set aside a day, and just go try dresses on. Make it a fun girl day!!! You'll be sure to find one that looks good on all of them.

Answer 7

Why don't you pick the color (like you have) and then have them each pick a dress that they feel flatters them the best, as long as it's in that color? If you feel that you want them all in the same dress, I would avoid strapless designs, many women of size are self-conscious about their upper body, and upper arms. Empire waists are great for those who are larger in the middle (great camoflage), as well as an a-line skirt. Sweetheart necklines really look great on most people as well, larger chested women look GREAT with a sweetheart neckline. Avoid halters--they usually won't give the support needed for a larger bust. Hope this helps!

Answer 8

Why not choose three or four different dresses all the same color and allow your bridesmaids to pick the one that looks best on them. They will be alot happier on your big day and not dreeding looking like giant blueberries!

Answer 9

for my wedding we had a 'pick your own dress'. The fabric was the same, the primary instruction i had was to keep it all clean and simple lines, no frilly stuff. the gals picked their own shoes, etc, and we had wraps for the gals, too. We got married in June and this really helped. the gals picked what they liked, would feel comfortable in and we all had a great time!

David's Bridal has ensembles the gals can choose from, or, like we did, the dresses were made.....just something to consider.

Answer 10

I would personally pick a colour and then let each of the maids choose the style that fits her body the best. With final approval by you, of course as it is your day. Otherwise do like everyone else and pick the dress style that makes your hottest maid look frumpy!
