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.
