Could do a regular bra with it, she might just have to get the neckline tacked. Tiny Dancer is the color we used for the wedding.<br /> <a href="https://m.shopbop.com/newbury-cap-sleeve-wrap-dress/vp/v=1/1566638721.htm?folderID=11888&#038;fm=other-shopbysize&#038;os=false&#038;colorId=50802" rel="nofollow">https://m.shopbop.com/newbury-cap-sleeve-wrap-dress/vp/v=1/1566638721.htm?folderID=11888&#038;fm=other-shopbysize&#038;os=false&#038;colorId=50802</a></p> <p>And yeah, agreed with online shopping! I ordered like 5 dresses from shopbop, tried them on and returned what didn’t work. Done and done. Ain’t nobody got time for that in a real store :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806211 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 09:14:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2806211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: very pretty! But no she definitely wants to wear a regular bra and prefers things with a fitted waist so her big boobs don’t make her just look big all over. I’ll look at that site. </p> <p>Annoyingly she doesn’t like online shopping. Fool. It’s the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806210 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 09:00:53 +0000 SweetiePie 2806210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore this when I was pregnant with my first (about 20 weeks along) and I am a solid 34G when pregnant. It’s not a maternity dress, but it was flowy so it worked. Also a May wedding! For my best friend. I only wore it for the wedding for a few hours and had it cleaned right away. PM me if any of you wants to buy it!<br /> This is the dress I have BUT it’s in the softest petal/ballet pink. Really pretty!<br /> <a href="https://m.shopbop.com/tatum-long-strapless-gown-joanna/vp/v=1/1550747648.htm" rel="nofollow">https://m.shopbop.com/tatum-long-strapless-gown-joanna/vp/v=1/1550747648.htm</a></p> <p>And you can also check out all of Joanna August on shopbop. They all seem to be on major sale right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806191 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 22:00:30 +0000 skinnycow 2806191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I'm not sure if anyone used the custom sizing. The quality was good. She had a very similar color scheme (dusty rose, blush, and nude) and the dresses looked great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806190 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:57:16 +0000 Alba4 2806190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: she should try Nordstrom. I know what you mean. My boys are ringbearers and my husband is a groomsman. So expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806189 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:56:26 +0000 youboots 2806189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Rent the Runway </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806188 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:52:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2806188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skinnycow: I’ve seen them a bunch on Pinterest but never heard of them before. Did anyone in the wedding order by measurements? How was the quality and fit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806187 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:52:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2806187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alba4: I feel like we might be cutting it close to order a traditional bridesmaid dress. But I can point her towards those brands. She’s will to pay up a bit to feel good in a dress! Both my daughters are flower girls so I’m hoping for more ASOS prices than Monique lhullier! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806186 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:51:52 +0000 skinnycow 2806186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you looked at Azazie? The bridesmaids' dresses at my sister's wedding were from there. They have tons of colors/styles and are reasonably priced ($120 ish). You can order a custom size by just entering your measurements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806185 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:47:05 +0000 Alba4 2806185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL is getting married in Aug and has the same color scheme. We are ordering our dresses from Bella Bridesmaids and are focusing on designs from Monique Lhullier, Hayley Paige, Watters, and Amsale. There are definitely styles from Monique Lhullier that accommodate bustier girls and regular bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806183 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:30:54 +0000 MrsBucky 2806183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I’m sort of useless with brands because I only had one bride not pick a dress, and that was a cocktail length black dress. And I basically never buy clothes now, so 😬 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806182 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 20:51:20 +0000 SweetCaroline 2806182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever seen those wrap dresses that are just one big piece of fabric with a million ways to wear it? I think it sounds scary myself (and a lot like a toga...) especially since I am uncoordinated and could not pull off a baby wearing. However, I think they come in a ton of colors and I've heard brides (not the bridesmaids...ha!) rave about them. I have no idea on brands, but had to put the thought out there. Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806181 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 20:48:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 2806181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AB810: Great to know! I'm waiting on a few strapless bras from Nordstrom to decide if I am comfortable wearing one before I order some dresses- not strapless but some would show a strap.</p> <p>@MrsBucky: Yeah- I went wedding dress shopping with her and she did find a strapless bra/ long line thing that technically *fit* but it was NOT something she'd want to wear all night! Any brands that tend to fit you well? She is starting a new job and I'm trying to help take some pressure off but helping her search. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806180 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 20:36:06 +0000 AB810 2806180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ASOS has free shipping over $35 and free returns. Always been super easy to order and return any extra from them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806179 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 20:34:11 +0000 MrsBucky 2806179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a similar build to your sister for all the weddings I was a bridesmaid in. (8/10 32-34 G/H) and have a strong preference for wearing a real bra always. My recommendation would be to find a dress with straps she likes (tough but not impossible) and plan on buying to fit her bust and tailoring the rest down. It’s a pain but the best bet if she wants to be comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridesmaid-dress-shopping-help#post-2806176 Sun, 25 Feb 2018 20:24:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2806176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone feel like doing some online shopping for me? </p> <p>My sister has decided to get married- this May! This is totally true to form for her and very exciting. She wants my sisters and I to wear long flowy dresses in shades of blush, nude, soft dusty rose and dusty lilac or gray. I'm attaching an inspiration pic. It will be in a garden restaurant, not super formal. She loves the style of the BHLDN dresses (<a href="https://www.bhldn.com/bridal-party-bridesmaid-dresses-blush/?cm_sp=BANNER-_-20180123_maids_color_blush-_-maids_blush_cat" rel="nofollow">https://www.bhldn.com/bridal-party-bridesmaid-dresses-blush/?cm_sp=BANNER-_-20180123_maids_color_blush-_-maids_blush_cat</a>) </p> <p>I like those and found a bunch on ASOS that might work too. The problem is one sister has a hard time finding dresses that fit because she is slim- about size 8, but has large breast- like 34G. </p> <p>Has anyone come across long, flowy, soft colored dresses that work well on a busty hourglass figure and can accommodate a real bra?</p> <p>And, any other suggestions for places to look? Experiences ordering and returning extras from ASOS? </p> [attach=2307/18/p4qh9i.400x600.wedding-blush.jpg]
