Everyone’s bodies are shaped differently and it isn’t likely that all your relatives and friends chosen to be bridesmaids will be the same size.  Even if they did, they’d probably have different features they’d like to hide.  The same bridesmaid dress for all of the bridesmaids would be hard to find and probably not liked by all.   This makes dress selecting seem absolutely impossible.  It may not be easy, but it is possible to choose and dress that will be good looking and everyone can live with.  Try these tips to aid in your dress-shopping venture.

Body Types

Take a realistic look at the bodies of your bridesmaids. Have a photo of each girl alone and try to imagine how a dress would look on her. Choose her best features to be highlighted and which ones should be covered.

The Right Colors

Black is the best color for slimming and hiding the flaws that make a girl uncomfortable.   Dark colors usually hide more than a bright or light color would.  Though color can reveal a lot, cut and style also make a difference.

Fabric

If you are large or small, some fabrics are unforgiving regardless.  Stay away from spandex, satin, and fitted silk dresses.  A light polyester cotton blend, chiffon, or rayon blend would be better choices. They will stretch rather than squeeze and enhance unwanted features.

The Appropriate Sleeves

Take into consideration how a girls’ arms would look in a sleeveless dress.  Some women’s are would not be flattered by strapless or sleeveless dresses.  Consider this when looking at various styles of dress.  offering a wrap or shawl would be a good thing to offer if some of your bridesmaids are uncomfortable going sleeves but you want it anyway.

Accessories

To bring unity and change the look of a dress, add belts, shawls, gloves, or bolero jackets.  Belts will define a waistline and choosing a wide ribbon can actually hide belly bulk and show of tiny waists of others.   Wearing a bolero jacket can hide unsightly arm flabbiness while also adding style.

Styles

It’s not necessary for all bridesmaids to wear the exact same dress.  Choosing a different style of dress while keeping the color the same has become common.  This makes everything coordinated and similar while allowing for different neckline, length and format.
