Bridesmaid dresses?

I wouldn't have everyone wear the same dress except for two people, especially the two largest people. I think they will definitely stand out.

I would go back to everyone wearing different dresses.

Or, you may be able to have the two larger girls (and however many more of your bridesmaids you'd need to make it work) wear a different dress in a different color and have them stand in an alternating order. This would make the dress style difference seem purposeful and they wouldn't stand out as much. Bridesmaid A wears a Blue Dress, Bridesmaid B wears a Silver Dress, Bridesmaid C wears a Blue Dress, etc.

If the two biggest girls are the only ones in different dresses not only will they feel terrible but it’ll look terrible too. I’d give them a color (“Azazie steel blue” or “David’s Bridal regency”, or whatever), and let them choose what works for their budget and body type.

I agree with this. Can just your MOH wear that dress? I'd try to find 5 or so other options (that come in a size 14 and bigger) and let all the girls pick from those options.

Okay, this is kind of what I'd been feeling too. We already ordered one of that dress for my MOH (just because we wanted to make sure the color was right before buying all of them). So I'll just find other options for the other girls. Thanks all!

I have bridesmaids that are on opposite sides of the size spectrum. Instead of making them wear matching dresses that they wear once and feel self conscious in, I asked them to pick their own dresses as long as they are black. That way the dresses will fit their individual body shape and they will feel confident and beautiful. Besides, every woman can use a good black dress and they can then wear it on another occasion. I always hated the idea of a bridesmaid spending money on a dress they wear once.

Yes, I totally agree! The dress that I ended up finding definitely doesn't look like a bridesmaid dress and I think it's casual enough that they could have worn it for other occasions. I also think it would have been really flattering on everyone, if only it came one size bigger. Oh well! It was my original plan to have them pick out their own individual dresses, so not the biggest deal.

I would go back to everyone having different dresses. Your niece and sister would probably feel a lot more comfortable this way!
