Honest opinions needed on my bridesmaid dress- but be nice please.

[suwoo]

OK, I am chief bridesmaid for best friend at big castle wedding in June. Her dress is big and fabulous. The other bridesmaid is approaching 6 foot and is less curvy than I. I am 5 foot 5 with tits and an arse. This is the dress that the other bridesmaid and bride prefer. The bride would never let me wear something I hated but time is of the essence and it is not easy to get together again and re-choose. I have a habit of being petulant and rebelling if I haven't made the choice myself and may be doing that in this instance like a sulky teenager. The dress pictured is a Dessy one (no 2043) and is sampled in blue, but the actual dress will be in chocolate brown. Do I look as horrendous in it as I do in my own head? Obviously it needs altering, but I think my hips look huge!! and yes, I have my magic knickers on already, but I don't think I was wearing heels. Pics on profile.

where is it?

Erm..?

can't see your profile!

but I have looked at the dress and I am not keen on it...just no my taste.

Can you just get another style in same colour...very appropriate for the Chief anyway!

this one?

it's quite, er, revealing, isn't it?

More photos to be added....hold on.

If it's MrsBadger's like - no, don't like it, sorry.

'link' even

is it that one? the one that MrsBadger posted . have to say that's truly revolting

ooh no

that dress is for skinnies

dont like it
prob like it even less in brown

monsoon have lovely bridesmaid dresses - go and try a few on maybe ?

Bloody hell, nooooooo. That would show up the hairs on your nipples, and every millimeter of spare flesh you own.

And how is it a bridesmaid's dress. It looks more like a nightie.

Have looked at MrsB's link.

I have boobs/bum and would look awful in that dress. The material would cling in all the wrong places.

Beautiful though if you are tall and willowy, with a hint of boob.

halter neck w large norks? No way.

Stretch fabric?Oh dear. If you're slim- wonderful. I'd look 9 months pregnant in that (am not pregnant at all). I'd have to hold my tummy in all day then change into jeans at the reception

I can understand your concern.....

Not if it's the Mrs B linked one, not if you're not tall and skinny!

Just added another one, the dress is pulled up so a better(?) fit? Massive hips????

Not my cup of tea but, I don't think that dress would look good on a skinny either, you would need breasts and hips to carry it off.

If it's the one that Mrs Badger found, then I would definately be a bit worried. It's very lowcut and is going to make anyone with a curvaceous figure (like mine is) look enourmous. Also, anything shiny or in satin makes you look about a stone heavier in photos.
Maybe you should ask your friend for some crisis talks.
