Help a Sista Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I am having an issue. My colors Ivory, Tiffany blue- more like Aqua/Turquoise, and maybe silver.

Problems:

1) My Matron of Honor is Rounded Woman, mostly "Center" area.
2) My BM's are either "Busty" or Bootylicious. I was set on Jasmine B2 - B1039 Chiffon, but the color swatches were to blue!!! I want more like I'm guessing Aqua/Turq, b/c there is a green undertone. It doesnt help that I am dying to match dress with my invitations - LOL.

This is an evening wedding in May so there will be light. I am going for a simple but mature look. I was set on Chiffon but the B2 dress is a little to kiddie for my taste. I'm going for that GROWN & SEXY LOOK but with tasteful Class!

What type of dress should MOH be placed in (poly satin A-line, Chiffon)? and

3)Would it look ok to place her in Silver dress and BM's in Aqua/Turq? Me & my guy will be in ivory. GM in blk suit with aqua/tuq accessories

My FH says "I try to be hard", But hey I'm doing this ONCE in my lifetime!! And I have this image of MY DAY, but some things are blurry!!!

I am SICK of searching for dresses. In addition, it does not help that my MOH can't go into Boutiques b/c they do not have Woman sample sizes. I do not want David's Bridal dresses they are too manufactured looking to me (not dissing shop but not for me).

Make sure you have the girls try on the dresses (or something like it/made out of the same material) first. I had my heart set on light, airy fabrics for my wedding but it turned out that fabric with no structure look awful on my girls. If the girls are a little bigger structured fabrics are a lot more flattering, not to mention the girls may be more comfortable. But it's YOUR wedding so you do what YOU like.  I don't know exactly what you like but I have added a few links here . I hope they help!

My MOH is also very busty. The dress I got for her is very slimming and made of matte satin. I got it from David's Bridal. You can look at my blog for a pic of it.

I think it's a good idea if you and your MOH make plans for a day out at Bridal Boutique looking for dresses.  Yes just you and MOH.  Once you ladies find a style, color you like for her then schedule a date with your other ladies.

My oldest daughter was one on my BM but she is a plus size so I had her find the perfect dress and then we went with all the other ladies to find their dress.

Thanks Ladies, I will definitly start back at square 1.
I'm thinking going to David's with MOH to find styles then order dress from the designer that has similar styles and my Color.

I really like the dress you like. I think it is a beautiful color. Go for that one. It will look good on busty or bootylicious because of the material.
