    Hi Bees,

     

    I need help! My sister/MOH had an accident last year that broke her ankle, and since then she has gained a lot of weight. She is very self conscious and won't go try dresses on. I am trying to guide her towards a style that will look good on her. I am full figured also, but I'm short and hourglass shaped, and she is tall and apple shaped.

     

    Does anyone have recomendations on dress styles? If anyone has pictures of their fuller figured BM's that I could show her? I live out of town so I can't go shopping with her for support. She is gorgeous, I just need something to help her spirit!

     

    thank you!!!

    I found a gorgeous MOB gown at keepmeinstitches.biz which I love!  It made me feel so beautiful at my daughter's wedding last year, and I was really afraid that I wouldn't find something nice to wear!  I am really self-conscious about my weight.   You might have her check out that website.  My gown was very well made and was very inexpensive too.  They have all sizes and styles of gown.  I got measured by a seamstress at a local dry cleaners, then called my measurements into their customer service, and they advised me what size to order-I usually wear a size 2x and I had to order a 5x, so let her know that she may have to order a very crazy size, so she doesn't feel bad.  No one else would need to know what size she orders though.  You might want to check out the dresses too.  You have to click on each one, to find out the sizes and colors, but their are also loads of pages.  I didn't like the gowns on the first page, but they have very many to choose from!

    I have BMs of all sizes and we did well with dresses that accentuated the natural waistline with a fuller skirt.  I don't have pictures, but they're wearing the Mori Lee Affairs dress 831.

    Igigi has a ton of gorgeous dresses, if you want her to wear a dress that is different from the other girls.
