Hi S&B

I'm a size 22. Need to be a bridesmaid with two size 8s.

Obviously I accept i'll be an elephant next to two tall beauties. The bride is my very best friend so totally worth it. Anxiety aside however, we just can't find a dress that will fit and suit us all. Please help!

Requirements: floor length, colour blush or rose gold or pale green- that sort of thing.

Would a multi way dress be an option then you can all choose the style that suits you but still match.

Hmph that one's out of stock but there's loads of different ones around.

Or all just have different dresses within the colour scheme?

How are you with strapless? This is not satin or shiny, which is best avoided I think!

I'm fine with any material really.

Multiway dresses are fine too- but can't find any that go from 8 to 22.

Why don't you all picky he same colour and wear a different style that way you all get to wear what suits your body shape.
We were just at a wedding where all the bridesmaids had this and it was really fabulous. (They were in a dark navy almost black) they would also wear the dresses again. They were all doffernet sizes but the dresses worked individually for all of them.

Sorry for typos

I know this doesn't tick the floor length box but Lindy Bop have vintage style dresses (think 40s/50s - mostly calf or knee length) for bridesmaids in the colours you list and do them in sizes 8 and 22 in most styles. They are inexpensive as well.

Asos is great - their curve range is the same as regular. Theyve got some nice blush dresses I'm sure

My DD was bridesmaid at a wedding where they had similar differences in shape and size of bridesmaids . They all got full length dresses in different styles but the same colour from Light in the Box.

The dresses are beautiful quality ,made to measure and excellent value for money . But you have to be very honest and exact in your measurements and they take about 8 weeks to come.

Monsoon does bridesmaid dresses from size 6 to 22. Not all of them come in 20/22 mean but there's still a few on there.

Sil had the same issue. Her bridesmaids were all very different sizes and shapes. She went for 3 totally different dresses all in the same fabric. It looked great.

Bloody hell, now they're saying no multiway dresses. And don't want to take the risk with the china/light in the box ones.

Really like the one ShimmeringIce linked, and sized from 6-22
