Solution for Fitting Different Size Bridesmaids
By: Sue Gray
So you’ve got bridesmaids of all different sizes and are finding it difficult to find a stylish bridesmaid dress that compliments each one. There’s several ways to make this less of a problem. Some brides will select the color for the bridesmaids’ dresses and then the bridesmaids can choose any appropriate style in that particular color. I’ve been to a wedding where the bride chose to handle the problem in this way and it was beautiful. Each bridesmaid selected a style that flattered her in the color selected by the bride and each one of them looked spectacular.
Another way to compliment the different sizes is to choose bridesmaid dress separates where you can purchase the top in one size and the skirt in another. This is very convenient for the bridesmaid who is not hour glass proportioned. I have seen bridesmaid separates in very up-to-date styles and colors. I have seen tops with the halter neckline, tops with spaghetti straps, sweetheart and scalloped necklines. The tops have either short sleeves, long sleeves and, I have seen some with the now popular bell sleeve. The top with the georgette bell sleeves was gorgeous. And, you can choose one of several style skirts to go with the top of your choice.
It is also very convenient when both regular sizes and plus sizes are offered in the same bridesmaid dress style. So many manufacturers are now offering the same contemporary styles in both size ranges. Finding plus size bridesmaid dresses is no longer a problem.
Fitting your different size bridesmaids is one less thing for you to be concerned about. Have fun and enjoy your wedding day!
