This way you can be assured that the dress will be accurate to her figure and may not require a lot of alternations later. Present her with a number of choices and allow her to pick one out. Make sure she is comfortable and all of her best parts are accentuated.
Start with a nice fabric that breathes, is not too bright and is comfortable to wear without wires and constraints.
A ball gown, column, mermaid or empire waist design are ideal for full figures or plus sized bridesmaids. For a Bridesmaid with well developed bust and hips, a ball gown or A-line dress will be most suitable. What you want to end up with is a look that draws attention to her strong features and minimizes the weaker ones.
Mermaid style dress will make a tall girl more beautiful by making her long frame flow with elegance. Stay away from form fitting gowns for full figured women it does not flatter them at all. Before fashion, the best chosen is always comfort. If you want to appear taller, your best best is a dress with a longer style. You can add a lovely shawl or sleeves to her dress if the bridesmaid wants to hide her arms.
Also if she doesn’t like her neckline a beautiful curved neckline can fix that very easily.
For a bridesmaid dress for a full sized gal a belt or sash adds an illusion of a waist which makes the top look smaller and the bottom look elongated. This is one fantastic trick to make a short-legged girl appear taller. Loud and bright colors such as yellow or hot pink make the person wearing them look bigger. Less bright colors look much better on a person. You would always want your plus sized friend to beautiful on this special occasion.
The Bridesmaid dress should be something that she can wear again, maybe altered and with a few accessories added. A plus sized bridesmaid dress should not have too many beads or an accessory this can give a look of gaudiness and that is not where you want to go with this dress. The best fabric to use is Taffeta or chiffon, satin does not breathe well and it may be more form fitting than need be. The lines of all of the dresses should flow and not seem bulky, stay away from the bunched up styles they add too much unnecessary weight to the dress. If your goal is to give the illusion of a waist and height, go with a one layer of straight lines model, and use a belt or sash to accentuate the waist. The bridesmaid dress should flow and be comfortable.
