Looking For Suggestions for Junior Bridesmaid

Hailey, on August 18, 2021 at 11:06 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 10

Hello all!

Our wedding is still quite a few months away, and right now we are looking for bridesmaid dresses. I had originally settled on Azazie, as they had a decent selection of Junior Bridesmaid (JBD) dresses. She is going to be 11 at the wedding, and she is a plus-sized girl. Now, today we found out that Azazie doesn't have plus sizes, which is totally fine. We figured that we could just submit a custom measurement for the JBD dress. Well, after reading through the FAQ's, they actually won't be able to make a JBD dress for her, since her measurements fall outside of the range. I am hesitant to order her an adult dress, as it will probably need a lot of alterations, and she'll be, well, 11. Can anyone recommend any plus sized JBD dresses? Thanks!

    Do you know her size or measurements? David's Bridal junior bridesmaids go up to size 18, not sure if that would be enough.

    I don't know her exact measurements; her mom is going to measure her and send them to me. I do know she is about a 32 waist though

    I'm finding some things that may be that size on Amazon or Etsy, but not at the standard retailers. She may be better off with an adult size dress. Many of the junior bridesmaid styles are actually the same as the adult styles.

    Coco melody said they do plus-size junior bridesmaid dresses but if I'm honest, they just looked like regular bridesmaid dresses to me. I think maybe alterations of an appropriate adult dress might be the best way to go.

    I would first try some modest, fairly simple adult-sized dresses from Azazie. Based on what others have said, they have a program that allows you to try on at home. Length would most likely need hemmed, but hopefully other alterations would be minimal.

    Have her try a sample from Azazie first, it' like $10 I think for the sample. This way you can at least see if it'll work at all. Most likely she'll just need it hemmed a lot.

    I can't speak for junior bridesmaid dresses, but Azazie did a great job with custom measurements for both of my bridesmaids - neither of them needed additional alterations!

    I agree with the Azazie try at home. My dress came from there, and was really easy to alter to fit perfect. Amazon will probably be another good choice with their easy return policies

    Etsy would be great for this! A lot of really wonderful small shops that make dresses according to the individuals measurements. Also, have you taken a look at Macys or Lane Bryant?

    Make sure to do the try at home programs that Azazie, Cocomelody and Revelry offer. Depending on the measurements, she may easily fit into a regular bridesmaid dress.

    I would exhaust those options before Amazon. If you go through Etsy, you are responsible for reselling the dress if it doesn’t work out since very few shop accept returns.
