EDD [[05.0
3 out of 4 of my bridesmaids are.. bigger
What style would look good and make them comfortable?
Okay boys, you made me laugh but this is serious.
Answer
I would say something floaty and feminine
also ... may I add that although black or a dark shade is a slimming colour, this rule only applies at night time
in the day time, natural day colours are slimming e.g. blues-lilacs, greens-pinks your bridesmaids will look and feel better in a pastel shade :)
also a larger lady will feel more comfortable in a gown that covers her thighs, tummy, upper arms and keeps her boobs nice an secure
you can have them wear shawls or shrug jackets over their dresses :)
here is some pictures that i think the dresses would look well for a fuller figure

Alot of wedding dress questions?
shollia
I'm getting married in Oct. I'm SO not girly and actually do not want a wedding, BUT fiance wants it so.. here I am, having no idea what to do about a wedding dress.
I'm very hesitant to go in to a bridal shop b/c well I'm just not a people person and do NOT want some sales person anywhere near me hanging over me like a vulture. I just don't like people I don't know touching me or anything like that.
So here I am asking for help here heh.
So first up, what dresses should I be looking for & staying away from b/c of the short amount of time. I know the uber detailed ones w/ all the sparkly bead work and such isn't gonna happen (not that I like it), and I don't want one that is too simple, but say... I wanted a dress like this one
http://www.weddingdressonlinestore.com/hot5/5051.html
Guesstimate about how long I would need for it to be ready.
...to be continued
Also, what kind of style of dress looks decent on plus size girls? Figuring A-lines? I like the empress waist ones, or whatever they're called, but I'm afraid that if I got one, it would just make me look like I'm pregnant o_O
And also, are there any websites that have customer reviewsl of all these online wedding dress discount places? I'm tempted to get my dress online b/c it's cheaper and there are alot of dresses that I really like, but scared to as well b/c, who knows what you'll be getting.
Uhm, I had more questions but I can't remember now, so yeah. That's it for now, and I appreciate any help that's given!
Answer
A-line dresses are flattering for almost every body type. V-neck are also very suited to plus-sized women who have a large bust as they break it up a bit to make you seem a bit less top-heavy. That being said, I know a lot of well-designed strapless gowns look really great on plus-sized women because they are designed to pull everything in at the right places. And anything that is cinched in at the waist is good- it gives you a good shape!
I think the main thing is that you have to try the dresses on. If you're an apple shape definitely steer clear of an empire waist. However, if you're an hourglass shape you may be able to get away with it in certain dresses but not others (in general very few people can pull off an empire waist- even lots of thin people end up looking pregnant). If you're worried about a sales assistant taking over and trying to talk you into things, take an honest friend/relative that will take charge of the situation.
As for a time frame- I'd start looking asap. Many stores take a few months to order in dresses and you may need extra time for any alterations that need to be done.
