Hi, looking for some genuine advice!! Im a size 18 in the likes of jeans and ordinary tops etc. The thing is, I have a wedding at the end of the summer. Really close family member! Would really love to wear a dress as nearly all of the other quests will probably will be too.
I would probably need a size 20. I would be more top heavy. Have great legs though! If I do wear a dress I was planning to add a suitable wrap/bolero/shrug to cover the tops of my arms and back with suitable sandals to give me some height (5ft 5)
Would it be suitable or would I look completely stupid.
Im sure that there are more voluptuous ladies out there with the same problems or maybe have already been in this situation???
Im 23 btw!
This is the type of dress that is supposed to suit my shape. I really like it too and would consider wearing it!!

That dress IS very cute. Just make sure you try it on before you buy it. I had to attend a wedding this past saturday and I wore a white skirt with a black tank top and a mini jean jacket. It was very cute and I got lots of compliments. But I really like the dress. Good luck!

So, 6 bridesmaids and one has a 'difference of opinion' in dresses?
Q. My sister in law is getting married and I've been trying to help her out finding all these possible bridesmaid dresses etc. By the way- this is a big to do wedding, we are talking over $100,000, yeah ridiculous I know! But anyways, I really love Amsale and since their '08 line is mostly tissue taffeta (which happens to be the same material the bride's dress is made of ) I thought it was too good to be true.
So, there are 6 bridesmaids and one of them is a plus size girl, the rest are under size 10. All the bridesmaids loved the dresses I picked out except for the plus size girl. She says they are too showy and short for her, here are the ones the designer recommends for full figured ladies;

Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe an option of a bolero jacket? I'm lost as many of the dresses I've looked at are strapless and sleeveless?
EDIT*** jsut so people know she was not happy with any of the Amsale bridesmaid dresses, the Bride wants us to choose our own style but be within the same line.......this is what has me perplexed?
hahah Nips! You're great!
So some of you think I'm the bride.....I'm not the bride, I'm trying to help her out.....gosh some people just like to be little bi@tches in here!!!!

That's unfortunate that she is being difficult. I like Bolero jackets but they can be a bit too much with most dresses (looks really eighties!) Have you tried to find something with capped sleeves? Also, I know that some Amsale dresses come with the option of having straps, have you looked into that?? Someone that does alterations can add boob support and some straps in there as well. I don't know why all these ladies in here are knocking these dresses, they are gorgeous! I would go and have her try them on to see how they fit........I know how it goes tho, it's hard trying to please everyone.
Anything that cinches the waist would be good for the plus size girl, but ultimately she needs to be comfortable in her own skin, which it sounds like she is not. Good luck to you and the bride!
