One of my bridesmaids is extremely
overweight. Taking her dress shopping could be a challenge.
How do I make it easier on her?
You have a couple of options. You can pick a certain color
for the dresses, but then have your bridesmaids each choose
their own styles. Allowing them to choose their own dresses
means they can find the look that flatters their body type.
Point out a few styles you really like and maybe one or two
of your girls will go for those. Also, you could consider
a two-piece number, which may be more forgiving. Several designers
have come up with fabulous skirts and tops that look just
as formal as one-piece dresses. You could even have your bridesmaids
all wear the same skirts but allow them each to choose their
own tops. Your body-conscious bridesmaid may choose a conservative
blouse while others might pick a tank top or something with
spaghetti straps.
