The dress is cute but not for my body type, she hasn't made a final decision yet so do I voice my opinion?
Its VERY fitted and below the knee length then flares at the bottom. Obviously better suited for a tall slender girl.
I'm 5'3 (about a size 8) and have full thighs and hips.
She's ordering them online so I can't try it on- but I know it will have to be tailored like crazy to fit me right.
So what do I do?
Tell her my honest opinion on how I think I'll look in the dress she picked out
or keep my mouth shut and suck it up (and my gut in).
She emailed me a pic of the dress and asked my opinion- what do I write back?

she asked your opinion, so it's ok to give it. But maybe sugar coat it a little. Something like "it's a really nice dress. not sure it's my style, but it's your day, so it's your decision."
I think that makes it pretty clear that you don't love it without being rude.

of course, its her special day, but drop her a lone about it.
if shes a good friend, of COURSE she'll understand and you can ask if you can maybe get the dress but ask if you can get it adjusted for you.
if not, then suck it up and act like you're the hottest thing there! and for the reception, bring another dress and if someone asks u about it say that u can dance better in this one!
also, in the mean time, if ur worried about the dress fitting right, you could do some gym time! (that was NOT meant in a bad way at all!) but if ur toned better or somethinig, that will help you with your confidence!
also, if u cant try it on and u only saw it on a website, it could turn out differently than u imagined! you need to have a bit of faith!
and even if none of the above works, at your wedding, make her wear something just as horrible as payback!!

u will have to be honest with her and also she should know what will suit u ordering on line sometime can be a pain as u never know what will suit u.
u going to have to say somthing or end up wearing a dress u do nt like and it will spoil ur day i gave my bridemaids free range and they picked out lovely dress as one of them is a size 12 and the other a size 22 so this is the time to speak up good luck

You should ask her..."Do you think that dress will suit my body type because I was thinking about it and I'm scared I'll look ridiculous"...she might agree and if she kinda brushes you off then deal with it and as you said take it to get tailored like crazy. Good luck!

Tell her your honest opinion since she hasn't ordered the dress yet. Since you are in the wedding as one of the bridesmaids, then you should be close enough to her to let her know your true feelings! Good luck.

If you don't want to tick her off, I would say suck it up and just deal with it, after all it's her day. You can always get back at her at your own wedding, when you can pick the most hideous, unflattering dresses that are out there.

Tell her the truth, she picked you for a reason and she will respect your opionion. But still be willing to wear the dress if that is what she wants.

give her your honest opinion. if she wants to still buy it let her. its her wedding. if she agrees then you can suggest her buying a dress thats the same color as the other bridesmaid dresses.

Tell her whatever she decides is fine but if she really wants your opinion that you don't know if you will be all that comfortable in it. A true friend will understand....

Well, if she asked your opinion she must want it and if she has problems with your answer she was not mature enough to ask the question...
