Hi everyone,
At my bridesmaids request, we are in the process of
picking out their gowns. My wedding isnt until next May but they want to
make their purchases before the holidays (they can each purchase them
whenever they want before deadline). We have our 1st appt in 2 weeks
when my MOH will be in town (5 of 8 BM's will be going).
Of course I have asked them all for their budgets and preferable dress style. All of my BM's picked the same gown as their
#1
favorite, ( emailed pics) which ironically is my favorite (I did not
indicate my preferences). Problem: I have one BM who doesnt like the
favorite. As a matter of fact, she doesnt like any of the gowns that the
others like (of 9 gowns they all like 7 of them-she likes none). Her
reasons are always the same per dress: It will show her " fat bulges"
and doesnt show enough "cleavage" which she says "distracts" from her
"bulges."
I'm anticipating a big headache. One BM already told
her that "no dress is going to hide those bulges...if your so concerned
go on a diet." She responded with, " I don't want to lose my boobs." So
be it. Its her choice. I certainly can't dictate to anyone that they
need to lose weight! Of course I want them all to be comfortable in
what they wear and purchase but I dont think its fair to the 7 others if
I have to choose a gown to compliment only her body (3 of my BM's have
respectfully expressed the same thought). I know I could have all of
them pick their own gowns/style in the color of my choosing but they all
favor this same one, again, my favorite.
I honestly think that
she won't be happy unless her "puppies" are up & out, but that's
not happening!

Anyone go through something like this? Should I just
stand ground on this?
