I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding about 8 weeks after my due date. We get to choose our own dresses with no length or particular style parameters, but it does need to be in the ivory to champagne color family. I'm a bigger girl (size 12 normally) with hips and a post-partum tummy to minimize.</p> <p>The boys are also in the wedding and we have to travel, so something on the less expensive side would be a big perk. I am really stressed about finding something flattering since apply the other BMs are way smaller than me even without the PP weight/tummy. </p> <p>I'm thinking something with more structured material or that falls more from the shoulder than the waist or chest would be the most flattering, but I'm happy to defer to all you style experts. </p> <p>Here are some pics from her Pinterest board to give you an idea of the vibe she wants, but the dresses don!'to have to be this style. </p> [attach=1359/14/ngl68t.451x600.image.jpg] [attach=1359/14/ngl68v.480x560.image.jpg] [attach=1359/14/ngl68w.400x546.image.jpg]
