A friend of mine was asked to be a maid of honor in a wedding. One of her jobs was to find bridesmaid dresses of a certain style and color for the wedding party. The problem is this. One of the bridesmaids is very tall and skinny. The other bridesmaid is short and very over weight. The other one is tall and overweight. Luckily one is average height and weight. My friend asked me to help her find one style of dresses that would fit each bridesmaid. The bride wants her to come up with three styles that she could choose from. My friend and I searched online at several websites. What would fit the larger ladies wouldn't fit the smaller ones and vice versa. The plus size dresses at most of the boutiques and online looked awful. I know that the bridesmaids aren't supposed to out shine the bride. Still you want them to be fashionable. I came up with the idea to get a pattern and make their dresses. No one knows how to sew. I told my friend that I would ask this wonderful people of this community to help. She is worried herself sick. I mean sick to the point of vomiting and severe headaches. My friend don't want to let the bride down. What can she do? Thanks everyone! :)

Your idea to have them made will save everyone a lot of money, and they will look so much better if they are custom made for each girl, because that will fit each girl's figure better. Even if none off the bridesmaids know how to sew, it will cost less to buy the fabrics, patterns and pay someone to make them then to order each dresses from a bridal store. (I used to work in a fabric store and my mom used to make wedding and bridesmaids dresses.)
The bride should pick a colour and one type of fabric (I suggest chiffon because it's figure flattering with it's matte finish and flowy-ness). Then find two different patterns for dresses, one that flatters the larger girls and one that works better for the skinnier girls. There is no way that one style of dress will look good on all those different body types. And the one dress you will all settle on will look good on no one if it has to please everyone (especially a picky bride).
The bride needs to show a little flexibility and sympathy towards her shapely (and skinny) bridesmaids and realize that dresses that are custom-made for them will look great, and if they are all the same colour and fabric they will look fabulously-matched, even if they all aren't identical dresses.
Good Luck!

I love it! It wont even be noticeable as a wedding dress.. But if your going to order that online I would be really concered, I order my wedding dress (which was something very stupid of me but I wanted to find out myself) it was from china I spend alot of money and she sent me wrong dress size, wrong color and the sewing was coming out. PLus it was suppose to be a deisgner dress and it wasn't. If your going to do something online i would highly use paypal since they backed me up and I got all my money back and I got to keep the wedding dress and I just went out and bought a new beautiful wedding dress at a bridal store. So if your looking for that dress I suggest you to go to a bridal store!! good luck and have fun
