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

In Asia size 12 is plus size. My school friends from Japan would diet like crazy at the end of term so they wouldn’t be fat for their return home.

I'm a size 8 and would feel very self conscious in a pale satin dress.

The dress looks cheap and will be a crumpled mess in minutes.

Ask your friend or just give her the money instead of buying something for her. Personally I think it’s hideous and I’d look like an uncooked Richmond sausage in it but I’m not your friend.

A size 12 isn't plus sized, we've moved on from 2002 🙄

Unless that dress is lined or she wear's a slip it'll probably look awful, you'll be able to find a cheap dress that looks better than that.

The promotional video shows the dresses to be hideously creased.

It's not a nice dress for anyone really.

Wouldn’t be surprised if a bloke wrote this.

‘the dress is flattering and feminine’ 🤔

Only get it if it can be promptly returned OP. If your friend has an iron board abs she may look fantastic. If she has any other type of abs her tummy will be highlighted, as per the skinny model. Will the colour suit? My friend put me in this colour and I looked awful (olive skinned brunette).

If you’re getting married next year don’t buy dresses yet - other bridesmaids may get fatter, or thinner, or pregnant or whatever….

there will be plenty of other sales on before then so I’d wait to closer that time

😆😂😅

OP, IMO the eclectic bridesmaid dress thing isn't usually done with these sorts of clingy satin dresses. You want boho floaty lawn in different prints or something.
I think a row of women in different coloured slinky dresses will look like a high school formal. It wouldn't make me think "eclectic."

Yes, you have apologised several times so best to ignore the comments about plus size and reply to those giving actual advice now. You haven’t replied to anyone suggesting you ask your friend their thoughts.

Your friend needs to try the dress on - that’s the only way to know if it is flattering. Also depending on your friends skin tone is, a pale pink fitted dress might make them look like they aren’t dressed from a distance or like an uncooked sausage given the straight design.

As a size 12/14 with big hips/bum, that would look horrendous on me and I’d feel very self conscious in it, even with shapewear. I’d ask your bridesmaid but if she’s anything like me it will be a no!

I'm a size 8 and honestly, I don't think it would flatter me. The material is going to show every line of underwear, and even the slightest bit of belly. I looks as if it's going to crease horribly too. As someone said above, if you're going for eclectic think about something more floaty, which will also be more likely to flatter different body shapes.

Does this shade of lipstick suit my skin tone OP?

It's a nice nightie for the wedding night.

It's a very unforgiving fabric and cut for the vast majority of women with normal womanly lumps, bumps and variations of posture and body composition.
The pastel colour won't add any camoflage to any deviation in the way the fabric drapes.
At size 8-10, I'd look bloody awful because it would highlight my mum-tum, and all my (natural, feminine) soft bits. It's not a size issue, it's a body composition and texture issue.

The model looks good because she's a model, has an aspirational body shape and a team of experts making her look optimal for a small number of photos. It's their job to make the dress look good for 15 minutes.
That's very different to wearing a dress all day as a bridesmaid.

Triggering? 😵‍💫

12 is NOT a plus size?!
satin clings like a MF to anyone though and accentuates any and all bumps and cellulite.

so if she’s a smooth voluptuous 12, excellent. If there’s any mummytummy/wobbly nobbly bits (on any of the bridesmaids whatever their size!!), satin WILL show it, especially with lighter colours and especially on the cheaper side of fabrics.

I think the dress is really horrible and unflattering. As others have said a size 12 is NOT a plus size.

Aw come on you've got eyes! You can see your friend isn't plus sized!

English is also my 2nd language but I know a 12 is not plus size — and the size equivalents in EU and US sizes. I am also a linguist and this is not a language barrier issue. Own up, you goofed. Big whoop, but covering it w “I don’t have English as my first language” is a weak excuse :)

I also thought OP meant a US 12 ( UK 16 ) until she said her bridesmaid is smaller than the size 14 model in the second photo . She is just clearly being ridiculous, regardless of her language skills .

You need to ask your friend as only she will know what styles of dress suit her. You could have pinged her a photo and had your answer in 10 seconds instead of faffing around on here asking people who have no idea what she looks like. The dresses look cheap. You seem to be implying that they're the same dress but they very clearly are not. Im a size 8-10 but the style of the 2nd dress would look horrid on me (also hourglass).
Why on earth would you ask a bunch of strangers if the dress would suit your friend instead of asking her? Ridiculous. Unless the whole point of the thread is to wind up people with the size 12 comment. Just weird.

Recently on clearance sale. Good reviews

There are very few people this dress would look good on. The people who it looks good on will buy it and give a good review because it suits them. If it didn't then they wouldn't have bought it.

As there are very few people it would look good on they don't sell many and have a lot left to get rid of. Hence the sale price.

If you are going ‘eclectic’ ( which is great) allow your bridesmaids to choose the style that suits them and they feel comfortable in.

Ask her, not us.

Are you the type of bride that wants their bridesmaids to look like a sack of shit so that you look better in comparison? If so then crack on with your pink satin sale dresses. If not, you might want to rethink and include your bridesmaids in the decision process.
