MNers, I desperately need your help. My best friend is getting married in 6 weeks and the bridesmaid dresses we have ordered have arrived and are hopeless! She has had an awful few months due to a bereavement and setting up her own company, and I think these bridesmaid dresses (and trying to get them to fit us all) will finish her off!

Can any of you clever, wonderful people spare five minutes to find us a dress like this in either pastel green or blue in sizes from and 8 to a 24?! Open to suggestions but needs to be boho maxi style, preferably with sleeves and the ability to breast feed in it!

Thank you so much!

I think you're going to really struggle in that range of sizes and the ability to breast feed etc. Some of you need to be prepared to have dresses taken in/let out if needed. Avoid any sites that are made and then delivered from China I.e light in the box etc. Perhaps find some fabric and then a local dress maker? What's the budget?

Oh and sleeves is always an issue with these types of dresses. Would you consider sleeveless with a shrug/wrap/pashmina etc?

\This is ging to be tricky to find the same dess in such a wide ranges of sizes.

Here is a selection of dresses at ASOS. There are 4 dresses by a compnay called TFNC in a sage green, including a plus size, they only have size 24 left, a strapless, a tall and a midi. As they are the same make and fabric they would all fit together.

That lulus.com dress that DoctorNicoleWatterson linked to is beautiful and looks pretty similar to the OP's pic.

There are loads of good reviews and pics of people wearing it in real life too.

I'd even consider it myself as a guest at a wedding in few moths time.

Wed2be has a minty green here

But it doesn't come up to size 24

fruitbrewhaha · 19/04/2019 19:36

the lulus dress

OK, so I agree that this is a difficult task, not just because few places stock size 8-24, but because I can't imagine one style of dress which would suit such varying sizes. Have you thought of same fabric different style? Twobirlds, Maids to Measure and BHLDN do ready to wear dresses but they're not cheap.

That said, I've found a couple of options:

This, but no size 24:

Amazon could be a surprise option I've found this, max size is 20, but it is stretchy fabric here. Lots of colours and can be worn diff ways

Not boho but fits all other criteria:

www.johnlewis.com/adrianna-papell-jersey-maxi-dress-ice-blue/p4081720

And available in a 24 here:

www.johnlewis.com/adrianna-papell-plus-size-jersey-dress-ice-blue/p4081783

Could be boho’d up with the right accessories, flower hair garlands etc...

Good luck!
