Page 5 | Is this unflattering for a bridesmaid?

Froum · 2025-04-09T21:02:16+00:00

My bridesmaids range in size from 8 to 12. No one happens to be plus size. Would this dress flatter most of the women do you reckon? We are late 20s i have chosen to show the image of the plus size model as I think it highlights that it works on bigger sizes. What do you think?

I see what you mean about flouncy and dated @Froum , I see the fashions.

just ask them? If they love it, you’re sorted

If not, look at other dresses

Greentrees2024 · 10/04/2025 21:27

Looks terrible. Don’t do it to them!

Who on earth chose the picture of the first model to advertise that dress?! It’s not as unflattering on the slimmer model but there must be loads of other far nicer dresses to choose from for your bridesmaids? It looks so cheap as well.

I had to disengage because people wear seemingly taking glee in being rude. I picked a dress people don’t like. It’s not that serious.

I haven’t shown the dresses yet. I’m putting together a Pinterest board. The first dress I shared was my fav. I hate flouncy dresses like the one I’ve attached. We’re young women! Something sleeker is my preferred look. I don’t want them to look matronly.

My wedding is very understated.

I really like it! I’d wear it. Love the colour and the style.

Ah! Good evening! Have your bridesmaids tried on the dresses? How have you found the responses on here?

I like it but the boob area isn't great

This bridesmaid dress looks like one of my nightgowns. Simply a no-go dress! Too clingy even on a slim person. Certainly couldn't wear pants as there would be a VPL.

No no no! I would be upset and anxious if I was forced to wear that all day and be photographed in it; I'm a size 8-10 and I'm sure it would show every crevice, lump and bump. It's an unflattering cut, does no favours for the plus sized model and the fabric is so cheap and ghastly. It's also a very unflattering shade to those with paler skin. I personally think it looks far better if you allow bridesmaids to choose their own dress (within a certain colour palette so it harmonises with your theme). Again, please do not make your closest friends wear this nightie monstrosity or they may not be your friends for much longer after the wedding 🤣.

Have you ordered any colour swatches form Azazie- try different fabrics/colours as there seems to be some that match your colour scheme :)

People seem a little crazy today. What’s all this balking at satin bias cut dresses. They are extremely popular and as these pictures show, can look lovely on the different 8-12 figures the OPs bridesmaid will probably have

I don't like that one shoulder "Azazie" dress, I think it's tricky because off one shoulder doesn't suit everyone.
It may be the kind of colour the OP wants, though.
There was quite a nice Ghost one upthread and I think they're a reputable company.

Nobody is being "catty".
The OP has asked opinions on a dress. People have given opinions. No-one has been rude or personal.

It's awful. That colour suits very few people.

Horrible looks like a cheap version of those hideous underwear type dresses Victoria Beckham designs,

springbringshope · 10/04/2025 20:37

I don’t know why people are being catty either OP

I don’t know this brand but there are some nice styles
