Pics of Bridesmaid Dresses for Plus Sized BM's?

Anyone have any pics of Bridesmaid dresses that are suitable for plus sized brides?? I am having a summer wedding and I kind of like that 'champagne' or 'sand' color look....I want my maid of honor to be comfortable and she is on the heavier side. Any pics you can post? If so, let me know what the vendor is as well....Thanks!!

Mine are from size 2 to 26. They all chose a 3 piece dress (imagine 7 girls deciding on 1 dress). It has a skirt, with a spaghetti strap top with beading, and a long sleeve jacket. Those that want to take the jacket off after the ceremony can. I wish I had a better picture, but I can't get the pic without the jacket to go into jpeg.

It's Mary's, S051534

Re: Pics of Bridesmaid Dresses for Plus Sized BM's?

a couple of my girls are plus sized and these were their choices...they all got to pick their own dresses so that they would be more comfortable

all from raylia designs

you can't make it out too well in the pic but it does cross over the tummy area and does hide it a little bit, was very nice looking on.

the first dress is a little like as far as shapr and style this one but with different detailing

this one is again like the others, can you notice a trend they all liked similar dresses so it will look very nice, just subtle differences that make them a little more unique

this one here was going to be our first choice on dresses until they all decided that they would rather go with satin dresses instead of chiffon...this one is absolutely fabulous on and all of my girls tried it on (ranging from sized 12 to 28) and they all really liked it and were comfortable with it becasue it did hide the ab area that they were concerned about

and the colors that they all come in

i got really great deals on these dresses when I ordered them, let me know if you are interested...

I have the same dress as ChrissyandRIcky, but in chiffon. The ladies at the Commack bridal store explained that chiffon is more forgiving than satin when they showed me dresses. So I went and ordered them at the store I ordered my gown at. Here is the picture from the Hjelm website.
