I'm due to get married in about a years time. My dress is already sorted, as are the blokes. The issue I'm having are the bridesmaids.
As we both have children from previous relationships, we decided that we only wanted them to be our attendants. All ok so far... except I'm having a huge problem trying to find something suitable for them all. They are a boy, aged 14 (not an issue, he's wearing the same as my H2B), and three girls aged 13, 10 and 10. Two of them are tall for their ages and super skinny (the 13 yo is already 5'5 and a size 4-6, one 10yo is a little under 5' and clothes for her age are far too big for her- I have to take them in at the waist in order to get something that's actually long enough for her). However the other 10yo is average height, but morbidly obese. Obviously, I love her dearly and in no way, shape or form do I want to exclude her or make her feel bad. Since being with us, she has been slowly but steadily losing weight from being part of our lifestyle, ie eating healthily and doing lots of activity. I will not, under any circumstances, put her on a crash diet, as has been suggested by some of my less understanding so called 'friends'- I do not want to risk the poor pet developing an eating disorder, especially as she already has a few hang ups about her size.
So, my dilemma. Where on earth can I find a) suitably modest, age appropriate dresses, and b) dresses that actually fit and are flattering for all my girls? Did I mention also that they have set their hearts on wearing exactly the same dress? Arrrghhhhh! Help!
