Will this dress suit a plus size bridesmaid?

I’m getting married next summer. Hoping to have that eclectic look for my bridesmaids - different colours but all cohesive. I’ve chosen tones of pink as I think that is romantic.

Im buying the dresses. I have one bridesmaid who is plus size (12). She has an hour glass figure. Will this dress suit her in your opinion?

I know not everyone likes the material but I do, thanks in advance for your input

I would just swap her for a thinner friend and buy the dresses

If you mean a UK size 12 then that's most definitely not plus size.
Is this a deliberately goady thread?

Odd trolling attempt

C’mon now. Try a little harder.

Yep

12 isn’t plus sized.

I think you are going to have to ask the people who are going to be wearing the dresses for their views on the style. It’s fine for you to choose the colour but I wouldn’t want people to be uncomfortable in a dress they didn’t choose.

Oh apologies. I don’t know why I thought it was. English is my 2nd language

Why don’t you ask her? Isn’t the point of different dresses so your individual bridesmaids feel comfortable?
I’m a size 6-8 and I don’t feel comfortable in clingy satin. It’s not a given she will.

I'd hate that. 12 is not a plus size anyway but if you have curves that will cling and show every lump and bump. I generally think pale colours generally don't do bigger women many favours to be honest.

Size 12 isn’t a plus size.

Thefrenchconnection1 · 08/07/2025 08:06

Totally depends on her shape but if she's all tummy, no.

The only reason I’m rushing right now is that this dress was recently on sale and I can buy it for a VERY good price

A size 12 is not plus size?
