Bridesmaid Dress issues

jess-ox, 17 April, 2015 at 17:04 Posted on Planning 0 7

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone else had bridesmaids who were VERY different sizes and how they went about finding a dress that suited them all? I don't want any of them to feel uncomfortable on the day!

Thanks everyone xx

    Yep, mine go from a 6 to an 18. I'm not looking for dresses until the end of this year. I don't want to put any pressure on them this early to stay the same size if I buy dresses now.

    If I see a nice style, I send them a picture and they tell me if they like it, and they do the same to me. From that, I've managed to get an idea of what we'll be looking for nearer the time.

    Mine are opposites- an 8 and an 18. Gone for a multi-tie dress because it's flattering on them both (tied different). Ours are from M&S, bargain.

    I have just solved this issue and it was a nightmare!! I had two different sizes and I found high street shops that fitted my budget didn't seem to do the bigger sizes so ended up buying online! I went with a maxi type dress so it suited them all although one bridesmaid wanted tight fitting so that caused more dramas!! Good luck! X

    I had a 14 year old size 6, 34 year old size 12 and a 32 year old 8.5 months pregnant bridesmaid!

    I went with dessy dresses because I knew I could get what I wanted from them. However, I only chose the colour, I was happy for them to choose the style they liked best but they still sort of matched.

    Mine are Size 10 / 14 / 16 / 16 and 18.

    Have got them all a high street dress from roman for £30 each.

    Got one of the 16's to try it on first - fell in love and then checked it was okay for everyone ... it's a clingy material but a loose dress and flattering on all.

    My biggest problem was heights! One is 4'10 and one is 5'9!
