Bridesmaids

Well i previously blogged about the bridesmaids dresses and i had picked the long dark purple dress that my MOH had tried on as it had the gathered waist line which was really flattering on any body type so i asked if my other bridesmaid was free to test the dress to see if it was any good on a bigger girl, (not that she is huge or nothing she was in the size 18 but at the moment is losing weight). She tried on the dress and even at her size it was so pretty. I thought there would be a problem with the length as she is arounf 5ft 10 which is a bit taller than my MOH and wondered if it was going to be a little bit too short, but even though it was about and inch off the floor it was still ok , and with the shoes on it wont be that bad. I asked my brother what size she was aiming for as if i have to get the dresses well in advance i dont want to get one that is either going to be way too big to be taken in or for her to feel pressured to lose a lot of weight if she cant manage it, he said she wants to become a size 12 but on her frame i think that would be a little bit too small so i am thinking of getting the size 14 as that is only 2 dress sizes down and my MOH is just in between a 12 and 14 right now but doesnt really want to get any smaller than a 12 so i can get hers in the 12 and be safe that it is a weight she is comfortable with and she finds its not too hard to stay around that size.

As you can see the difference in length between the BM's dress (left) and the MOH's dress (right)

After she tried on the dress i sent a message to MOH to see if she could pop into the shop and try on the shoes as they dont have a size 6.5 so i needed to know if the 6 or the 7 was the best, she let me know the next day that the 6 fitted ok so i went in and picked up a 6 and an 8 which is for my other BM. I didnt mention but i decided they arent going to wear the exact same shoes as me as the dresses are a little bid dark but the same shoe comes in a midnight blue which has a purple tint to them and went really well with the dresses so we all have the same shoes but i have a bright purple. i will show a picture of the shoes when i have taken a picture as the one on debenhams site shows them as a navy blue but they dont look like that in person.
