Sister in law hates bridesmaids dress

Jessica, on July 18, 2019 at 7:24 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 40
Soo I’m known to be sexy and dress sexy. And I want my bridesmaids to be a reflection of me. And I chose my bridesmaids who would be comfortable with that. My fiancé sisters gave me no choice to put themselves as bridesmaids. They are plus size and conservative and don’t like the dress. Should I tell them wear it or get replaced by my friends who wanted to be in it? Or allow them an alternative?

    I personally think you should let them pick something they feel comfortable in. I hate seeing weddings where it's obvious the bridesmaids are so uncomfortable wearing the dress and it doesn't fit their body type. Out of curiosity are you buying the dresses also?

    No they would be buying it. So your saying. If they are spending their money at least let it be something they are comfortable in? So not to kicking them out? 😅

    1) If you asked them to step down how much trouble would it cause?

    2) Why cant you ask YOUR friends?

    3) Are you close to these girls? Or is it because they are FH’s sisters??

    4) Can you tell them this is the dress? “I’m sorry, but this is what I want for my girls.”

    I mean to keep the peace with FH I would probably try not to do that 😂 Definitely wouldn't be a great way to start the marriage having bad blood with family but that is your call. I do think that they should be able to wear something they like especially if they are paying for it. I think it's hard to understand having body issues if you've never been overweight (I'm assuming here) and it really could make them uncomfortable to have to wear something they really don't feel good in.

    I don't think the second option is more covered. Why don't you tell them your vision and see what they come back to you with instead of guessing? If you see where their comfort and style level is at it'll tell if your vision is compatible.
    Also the second dress looked like a night gown, if either of them are busty they likely will want something they can wear a bra under and need more chest support.

    The second dress is even sexier...
    I don't think you want to force your bridesmaids into dresses they feel and awkward in. I say let them pick other dresses in the same color scheme, or get some alterations. But why can't they just be groomswomen?

    I don’t think the blue dress would make them feel comfortable, it would look obscene if they had a large bust. For a smaller bust it might be ok with a stick on bra or sewn in cups.
    I think the gold dress is very pretty. If they’re uncomfortable, could the dress be altered to be full length in that satin fabric? It would still match your chosen girls.

    Also now that I think of it, isn't the blue dress famous elsewhere for being too sexy and cheap looking. Is that the look you're going for, because I doubt it. 😬

    It’s interesting that you want them to be a reflection of YOU instead of being themselves. But, maybe they’ll just back out after seeing both dresses and it will no longer be a worry for you. That might work out best.

    I love the first one! I picked 3 dresses and let my sister pick her favorite and that is what ALL of my girls will be wearing. Same style same color because it is my wedding and it's not like they will wear their dresses again, so I felt my opinion mattered more. I will be the one looking at the pictures more often not them. It is a honor to be in someone's wedding party so they can wear the dress or come as a guest. That's just my opinion.

    1.im sure it will cause problems but I’ll just say I’m brisezilla. I already got into it with his cousin because I told her she can’t be in it.
    2. Bc I don’t have any more room in bridal party it’s already 10 of them.
    3. I’m really close with his sisters. Their like my sisters. But I feel like my bridesmaids should only be my ppl.
    4. I probably will so that

    Oh I never heard of that. That’s a great idea. Bc 3 of his people in my bridal party is just too much. But I’m trying to compromise

    I would pick a different dress. I would recommend a long dress with a high slit. If the slit bothers the more conservative girls, they can have the slit closed and no one could tell the difference.
