    So, I picked out my BM dresses, two different styles to compliment my two different body shaped (two are skinny minnies, two are curvy girls who are more pear-shaped).  Here's what I came up with:

     

    Unfortunately, the strapless dress in the largest size that it comes in does not quite fit one of my girls (who is nursing, btw) and so now I'm stuck.  Any suggestions for a dress that is the same color that might accomodate nursing tatas?

    Where did you get these dresses from? Are they both by the same designer (for color match reasons)?

    what if you had a seamstress add in a boe and tie in the back of the girl's that is nursing? Have you all seen dresses like that? not a corset, but more of a thick tie. Nicole miller made a bridal gown that had 2 or 3 of these knots, it looked cool. You could probably get some extra fabric and have a seamstress create it for you.

    I got them both through Nordstrom, they're actually different designers but the colors match PERFECTLY, and since I have two girls in the one style, I REALLY wanted to have the other two in the same style as well.

    I didn't think about a corset back.  Has anyone had this done by a seamstress before and had it turn out ok?
