Did anyone or IS anyone using chiffon bridesmaid dresses for curvy bridesmaids? I have one bridesmaid whos very curvy and I want her to be comfortable. We tried on BM dresses & my favorites tend to be chiffon. I'm thinking this in eggplant:...

I'm thinking this in eggplant: http://www.lizfields.com/Product/Bridesmaid-Dresses/Long-V-Neck-Style-228/

I'm considering letting them choose their own dresses but using the same color/fabric. BUT she tried on a chiffon dress and said it was super unflattering (but it was way too small for her to even really fit...) We aren't going to be able to find one in store that'll fit her so what do I do? Just avoid chiffon and cross them all off my list & go with satin, or what? She really has it in her head that it'll look horrible.

I can't mix chiffon and satin for the BM- that'd look bad, right?

    Of the options you posted I'd have her try on style 242.

    I second what Victoria said, the sheen satin has will show off every lump or bump! I wore a satin dress for my wedding and since the skirt was unembellished satin, I wore a spanx to smooth out my silhouette.

    I'd think a matte fabric would be good for hiding flaws.

    Chiffon is a very forgiving fabric its free flowing. So it must have been the cut or the size. Satin is clingy and will show every imperfection. Ive had the pleasure of working with both of these fabrics dressing girls and thats my experience
