It is VERY normal to have the MOH in a different dress. You could always says that you want her to stand out more so let's go dress shopping for something that is better fitting of her roll as your sister and MOH??
I always thought it was pretty typical for the MOH to have a different dress, that way everyone knows she's that extra special girl in your life!
What a tricky situation! It is common for the MOH to either have a completely different dress or a different "accent" on her dress (ex: a different colored sash). Since your sister is making headway with her eating disorder, you are right to be so thoughful and not center getting a new dress on the weight gain. If it were me, I would say you want to get her a new dress so she stands out in her special role of MOH. You could get a similar dress from another company in charcoal (that would be lovely) or have her pick out something she else she likes. I wouldn't even bring up the weight - just say YOU changed your mind (so she won't possibly construe it with her weight gain).
Very normal for MOH to stand out from the other bridesmaids, I say just find a similar style in a different color :o)
Yep I agree with the other two girls...and you can tell her you want her to stand out. She'll probably feel better too if her dress actually fits.
Thanks everyone. I hope she'll take it the right way. I'm headed home in a week, so we'll go out for a girls' day and look. Might print some pictures of weddings where the MOH had a different dress - if you have any photos, let me know.
Thanks!
I have 2 MOH's (my sisters) and they are wearing long dresses with the other 5 BM's wear short dresses. Every girl has a different dress in the same color and fabric. I wanted a subtle way for my sisters to stand out a little and I think the different dresses accomplish this well.

Hi Hive,
This is a bit of a sticky subject - i don't want to offend anyone (it shouldn't). My MOH (my younger sister) has been struggling with an eating disorder for the past year. When we bought her dress for the wedding (the same as the other bridesmaids), she was at a stable (though unhealthy) weight. Over the Christmas holidays, a new ED program encouraged her to gain weight, and she has put on nearly 20 pounds in a few months. I am so excited for her, however, her MOH dress doesn't fit any longer, and the style is no longer in stores. I figured I would ask your opinion; we need to find her a new dress, and I need to do so in a way that WON'T make her feel self-conscious about her weight. I'd be happy if she came in a paper bag, because I'm so excited that she's gaining, but I don't want her to feel 'singled out' because she's put on weight.
So... is it normal/usual for the MOH to have a different dress? And since its' going to be different, should I find one in a different colour? (BM dresses are coral, our other colour is charcoal/silver). Any opinions on how to bring up the subject without making her feel self-conscious about the gain? Thoughts are appreciated.
