Will this dress suit a plus size bridesmaid?

[Genok]

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

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

OK, they are on clearance for a reason.

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

Have you heard about Photoshop :)

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

I misspoke. I have apologised.

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

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.

In what language is size 12 plus size?

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!!

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.

Ok I have to leave thread. I made a mistake. I was hoping for on advice on good options to share with friend. Thank you to people who gave useful advice

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.

The dresses are flammable cheap and horrible looking. It’s even crumpled in the advertising photos with the tanned women

you should also give your bridesmaids input not just present them with a dress

what’s your budget?

That material is bad, sorry, and going to look cheap and crumpled on most women whatever size. The haven't even managed to get to the creases out for the promo pix.

Size 12 definitely is not slim regardless of how many other people are bigger. I agree size 12 isn't plus size but in no way is it slim.

It is perhaps a plus size in American sizing, though they mostly speak English too (or Spanish).

Im deducing that the OP is Australian-Asian, and therefore size 12 would be plus sized for them.

You look at your size 12 friend...does she look plus size? Pink satin in a clearance sale - likely not to match the colour in photos and stick to every lump and bump.

Satin is not a flattering material on any size. It will show underwear lines and will cling.

Exactly! Not the best place to go for a nice bridesmaid dress.

You're getting advice -

1. 12 isn't plus size in the UK
2. the dresses aren't actually that nice
3. the bridesmaids need to have more input

Could you ask each of them to find something they like - shape wise, not necessarily colour wise, and then see if there is a common thread among them/something that could work together, and then see about whether they'd come in some nice pinks that flow together - darker pinks may also be more flattering and slightly more structured/better quality dresses. Good luck!

That's edited and she'll be wearing spanx. The dress is incredibly clingy and a fabric and colour that will show bumps.
I don't really know many women that would be comfortable in a dress like that whether they are plus size or not.
