What style is most flattering for a group of Brides or Bridesmaids who are different sizes from full-busted to full hips?
The 2-piece look is popular and flattering with A-line skirts. Each bridesmaid can wear the same skirt. Each bridesmaid can wear a different top, not only is this vogue and different but also depending on the girls figure, she can purchase a top that is most flattering to her own figure. Large busted girls with smaller hips look great with a sheath (fitted) skirt and a V-neckline or scoop neckline top. Most of these tops have wider straps so bras can be worn. Bridesmaids with larger hiplines look great with A-line skirts and with halter or strapless tops Besides the 2-piece look there are a lot of beautiful gowns available. You need to remember that when designers design their gowns they always keep in mind that very rarely is everyone in a wedding party a size 8 and 5’8". There are all different sizes and heights. So when you are looking at a sample remember that in the correct size everything is proportioned correctly.
I want to wear sandals but need a control top, but don't want to wear nylons?
Haines came out with Biker shorts - they are the top part of a control top pantyhose but without the nylons. They are GREAT!! They don't roll or show through your gown.
