This is a dusky pink, don't know if that would be any good for your larger lady?

Will have a hunt for smaller similar dresses.


ETA actually, at only £45 each, maybe these would be an option for the smaller ladies too, and there would be enough money in the budget for them to be made smaller?

Currently looking at light pink, as in a pastel shade! btw I am the plus size bridesmaid, and I am a bit awkward to, very short and massive boobs! hehehe I will let you all know how tomorrow goes and add Cuvry ladies to my maybe pile,

OHH serious boob Trauma!!! I tried on about 5 dresses yesterday and could not get a single one to do up over my boobs! Argh!!!! I have no idea what to do, we might look in to getting the dresses made. But have no idea about the costs for this. Anyone know if we could get three simple bridesmaid dresses for £300, between now and September? The bride is supposed to phoning a dress maker today, i say supposed as I wont hold my breath!

What about going a size up and getting the waist area of the dress fitted?

The things is most of the high street dress stop at a 22, so that wouldnt really be an option! Argh.......

As I said, mine are being made for less than £80 each (simple tea length with a sash and straps) so I think you should be able to bring it in under £300

What about this £69.99 and the smallest is a size 16, but it coul be altered, it's also a lace up back so might be good for your chest size? It's a lovely dress. This is from the same company, same price - they have quite a few pale coloured bridesmaid dresses in paler colours, some in a size 10 and 22/24! Another one here size 6-22! (They also have this in a really nice sage colour - their ranges are all size 6-26!

Hurm, I think some people might be inept when it comes to doing up dresses! I got one delievered today that cost £3 from ebay and although it was a little difficult for me to do up myself, my nan had said I would never get it on in a million years, I did manage and it fitted fine! Then problem is it has to be really tight on my boobs so I had to hold the two sides together with my teeth! hehehe

So I am thinking now that maybe if I hadnt just asked my friend yesterday to try and do the dresses up maybe I would have got some of them to do up! Ohh this is all to much like hassel! I have looked at the dresses on brial wear plus however I think this is one where you cant try on the dresses first. Which bride isnt happy about. Personally I would order them all from ebay. (especially if they come out at three pounds!)

Thank you for all your help so far it makes me feel much better coming on here and some times I feel like no one understands.
