Please flash me your bridesmaids' dresses

Purple Pixie, 18 October, 2011 at 12:12 Posted on Planning 0 85

I'm having real problems with this one. The girls have all said that they'll wear whatever I'd like them to but I don't know what I'd like them to wear. I'm more worried about them feeling both comfortable and glamorous. We can't look in high street stores because nowhere does the sizes we need (12, 22 and 24).

Please flash me your dresses so I can get some inspiration.

    I can finally join in on this one as I ordered mine on the weekend:


    but in sky blue. They are Alfred Angelo from a bridal shop. According to the Alfred Angelo website, they do up to a size 32.

    Spangler - those are amazing! Where did you get them from, and do they come in different colour options?

    I have no idea what style to get my BM's so thanks everyone for posting photos, I need the inspiration!

    Hey Chidders, they are from Berketex :0) I am having them with red for the pattern on both dresses. They were a little more than I hoped to pay £270 each with 10% discount, but they will get to wear them again and again so should get the moneys worth out of them.

    Here's mine. My friend is about a size 14, VERY top heavy and curvy to the extent straps were a must, and about 5ft3. She chose the dress and the colour.

    Most of the plus size stores start at a 14, so would be worth looking as it would be easy to take one in for the sz12 BM. Also worth checking catalogues as they carry a wide size range. These were mine:

    Hi, I'll flash mine when I get home. But you may want to check eBay shops. I'm ordering an 8 and a 18 from a store on there and they're only 70 quid each. They're lovely too Smiley smile x

    Thank you Filoftus Smiley smile

    My BMs didnt want to take them off when we went to choose them - always a good sign I think! They are Watters and Watters, not the cheapest at £199 but well worth it I think

    They're from a lady on ebay here's the listing I used

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-wedding-bridemaids-evening-dress-sash-8-16-/230520885585?pt=UK_Wedding_Clothing&var=&hash=item7b6732927d#ht_5681wt_1037

    but if you contact her she will sort out the colour's you need She sent me swatches for free so that I could get the colour's right. I sent her all the measurements and they were delivered within 2 weeks. Her communication was brilliant too. When they came, they were lovely quality and fit lovely (other than my CBM because she'd put on a few pounds!!) AND....they were only £40!!
