Hi!

I went to The House of Brides today with two of my five brides maids. After trying on a ton of dresses, we narrowed it down to two dresses that are pretty much the same style. Both dresses have sweet heart necklines, ruching, and a little bit of bling on the side. One dress is made out of chiffon, and the other dress is made out of satin. Before I buy a dress, I want to know which fabric looks better on bigger girls? The House of Brides did not have bigger sizes to try on. So, I wasn't able to see my sister in any dresses. She is nervous about how the chiffon, and satin will look on her since she just had a baby. I want my brides maids to feel comfortable and look beautiful. Will chiffon look better since the fabric is light and airy? Or is satin a better choice since it has a lot of structure? My color is turquoise, but my brides maids like the look of egg plant. So, I am willing to change my color if they feel more comfortable in a darker color.

    Thank you for all your comments. I really appreciate the help! The short, purple, chiffon dress is the one I was referring to in my earlier comment. Here is where you can find a picture of the dress.....

    What does every one think of this type of style in chiffon on a bigger person?

    Chiffon! Chiffon is so much nicer to curvy ladies - whereas satin shines a light on the flaws. Smiley smile Chiffon floats over flaws and has a flowy feel to it (that had a lot of f's in it hehehe)....

    DO NOT ORDER FROM HOUSE OF BRIDES.

    Nobody will answer my phones calls. Read reviews on them. Go somewhere else!!
