Will this dress suit a plus size bridesmaid?

Hope you have already sent photos of the dresses to your bridesmaids, Genok. This is not a bouquet of flowers- you cannot surprise your bridesmaids with the dresses. They have to try them on before you buy, or at least see the photos for themselves first.

Size 12 might not be 'slim', but it's also not 'plus size', in the UK at least.
It depends why you are 12 in a dress - could be boobs, could be bum, could be hips, could be all of them!
A size 12 is a healthy size in the UK.

A size 12 isn't 'plus sized'. However, it all depends on her shape. Hour glass suggests bigger hips/thighs/bust and small waist. The material is a satin type, and it will cling to every lump, bump and knicker line!!

In what language is size 12 plus size?

I wore a size 12 wedding dress. I was 8 and a half stone at the point I married and am 5 ft 2. I was in no way plus size. I have a reasonable sized chest. You can't expect anyone to have a reasonable conversation with you if you're referring to a size 12 woman as 'plus sized'. Please don't make any suggestion to your friend that she's overweight if you still want a friend after your wedding.

PS I don't personally like the dresses on a size 12, a size 0 or a size 20 and I would say that to anyone who'd chosen them not just you because I think you're being ridiculous. It's your wedding though.

Size 12? How will this enormous woman get through the door?!

I think your issue was calling a size 12 plus size rather than the dresses. Unusually reaction to have to a dress .

Have you heard about Photoshop :)

Why write plus size? Second language English isn’t an excuse for such a statement.

OK, they are on clearance for a reason.

Would your friend want to be your bridesmaid if she knew what you called her on the internet?

At my local Register Office I usually stop and have a quick gawp at the happy couple and guests posing for photos as they come out as I like looking at the outfits!

Recently there were two 30-something slim bridesmaids in cream dresses made from some sort of shiny satin - the material was so clingy you could see the outline of their thongs! You could see from the hair-dos, make up, other guests that this was an expensive day but those dresses were a let down, to me as a passing member of the public!

English is my third language and I know 12 is not a 'plus size'. So that's a bit of a weak excuse.

The dress may look nice in the second picture OP, but the picture will have been airbrushed / touched up / altered digitally before going on the website so it is not necessarily an indication of how beautiful and well fitting the dress could be.

Ask your bridesmaid. She'll be the one wearing it :)

This style is hard for anyone to wear - you have to have a very portionate figure it hides zero flaws. infact I think it looks better on the plus size model than the thinner model. You can see the creases in the material in these promotional shots which is not a good sign.

Ok, after reverse image searching. The dress is fully lined and is available in up to size 22, so that at least indicates the designer is aware of the pitfalls of such material and cut.

Being size 20 and bing a bridesmaid several times, I know how this can feel - it can be really humiliating, so sorry if my previous post was a bit spicy.

OP, can you buy one to try and return it, so that your size 12 bridesmaid can see what it’s like?

Ignoring the weird plus size 12 debate for a moment… Satin is never flattering to anyone who is curvy unless it’s very expensive and beautifully cut and this dress doesn’t look as though that applies. If you’re using shades of pink and this bridesmaid’s larger than the others I’d let her wear the darkest pink as that’s generally more flattering.

What a ridiculous take. You can still be friends with someone and have other independent thoughts. They aren’t mutually exclusive. Would the same apply if you thought a friend was skinny?

Are you doing that bridezilla thing of encasing your bridesmaids in shiny pink satin in order to make yourself look like a serene Cinderella attended by a pack of hefty creased sausages?

Just to say that a 12 can appear plus size depending on your height. I’m a size 12 and definitely fat/plus size because I’m only 5ft 1.
in any case these look like two different dresses. Dress one comes to the waist and dress two under the bust.
I wouldn’t be comfortable in this as I carry weight on my stomach. But if she is well proportioned/tall it would be fine. But as others have said ask her.

Size 12 absolutely is slim unless the woman is very short. If you think it isn’t, you have a warped sense of reality.

The average size of UK women is size 16.

You are very bold (naughty) @WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLady !!!

NB if the whole company is having a sale, beware and ask if they are closing down- if they are, you might not be able to get a refund if one or more dresses arrives in a damaged condition or doesn't fit your bridesmaid. It's best to choose the dresses at a shop where the bridesmaids can all try on the dresses before you pay.
