Bridesmaid dresses

Dana, on June 9, 2021 at 7:22 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
I picked out a range of dresses that had 4 styles, only to find one is being discontinued. They match my dress astetic well, but I feel terrible the 3 styles my bridesmaids have to pick from now don't work on all the body types. Should I pick another line that might not completely work with my dress but work for their body types?

    I would ask the 4th bridesmaid if she's willing to pick from the styles that are still available. It sounds like you're assuming about this situation without actually asking the bridesmaid who will be affected

    Oh I should have mentioned she definitely is willing! I just saw that a dress in another line worked so much better for her and I guess I just feel bad forcing her into one that doesn't flatter her as well. I'm probably over thinking!!

    Let them pick their own style, that way they will be comfortable

    I would maybe use the dresses you chose as a guideline and let them pick a dress they love, with your final approval.

    Have you shown her the other dress that you found? You could always show that along with the current styles from the original line you mentioned and ask her how she feels about it! It sounds like she's pretty easy going and willing to wear whatever makes you happy, which is nice of her! I do think showing her the new dress you found is a good idea though if you haven't done so already!

    I have bridesmaids that have a variety of different body types. I just choose a color and set the criteria of long with straps and let them pick something they felt comfortable in. We all went together so it was easier to see what they looked like together and they all complemented each other.

    Yes I think going as a group would have been better! Next week I've got 3 going together, so I'm hoping that'll provide a clearer picture!

    Also don’t be afraid to find a discontinued dress off the rack if it matches. One of my bridesmaids did.
