Many of our bridesmaid dresses can also be made with longer hems or adjusted to add sleeves. Does your bridal party include friends and family who wear bridesmaids dresses in sizes smaller than 14? We can fit them all in bridesmaid dresses that match! And probably get your extra fabric to make a junior bridesmaid dress too!

Beautiful Bridesmaids all in a Row!
Only the Bride will make a grander entrance when you follow these terrific tips for shopping for the bridesmaid dresses of your dreams!
Plan ahead:
Getting to the chapel (or synagogue, park, hotel or city hall) with beautiful bridesmaids all in a row requires time and thought. Start shopping six months before the wedding. Or even sooner! Go to department stores, bridal shops, boutiques and specialty stores. Go to bridal shows and fairs and fashion shows. And don't forget to check out our bridesmaid dresses in all sizes!
Don't Break the Bank:
Bridesmaid dresses typically start at about $149 and go up $300. It's standard to charge an extra fee for plus-size bridesmaids dresses. Be sure to talk about the cost of the dresses before you go shopping. Take the financial bite out of buying a bridesmaid dress by selecting a simple style or classic color that your bridesmaid can wear after the wedding to another special occasion.
Be Body Conscious:
Bridesmaids come in all shapes and sizes, including plus size. The dress of your dreams may look great in a photo or on a hanger, but remember, real women have to wear it down the aisle. And no one has a flawless figure not matter what size dress she wears!
If your bridesmaids range in size pick a color and fabric and let them find the style that they feel fits and flatters their figure. No one dress is perfect for everybody. But the Princess and A-line silhouettes tend to flatter most figures. Or have fun going with two-piece outfits where bridesmaids mix n' match size or even styles. Why not consider having the bridesmaids wear the same skirt and different tops in the same color.
No matter what size your bridesmaid wears, remember to play to her assets and camouflage her figure flaws when shopping for a bridesmaid dress that fits and flatters.
