  oh my, what an awkward situation!  i shot a wedding that had a BM who gained  a bit of weight and she actually broke the zipper off her dress. then she was literally sewn into her dress by the other girls while the bride got her make up done.  it was awful!
  
  i'd probably be like "so, i want to make sure your dress fits you well so that you;re comfortable at the wedding"  or "the other girls said theire dresses fit a little more snug then they thought, maybe you should try yours on?  we cna go to the seamstress together if you want"

  I would just ask her if she went to try on the dress.  You don't have to ask her straight up if it fit, ask her if it needed a hem or something like that.  You can tell her that the other girls needed a hem too.  Plus you never know, the shop could have ordered a size up.

  My bridesmaids dresses came in and were snug.  The floor models at the store are stretched out from so many people trying them.  Use that as an excuse, tell her wedding details are becoming overwhelming for you, and that knowing her dress fits fine would make you feel better.  When I want my bridesmaids to get something done I say something like this, "I read a horror story on TK about this, can we get this taken care of so I can relax."

  SO awkward. My FSIL gained weight and her dress is too small and is having to have v-shaped pannels added on the side seams at the bust so it'll close.
  
  Maybe try and say something like "I'd really feel more comfortable if you were able to breathe on the wedding day. You know how bridal sizing runs small, so let's go see the seamstress and then I'll treat you to coffee."

  If it doesn't fit her its her responsibility to do the adult thing and go to the seamstress. If she has gained weight, she may be self concious and doesn't need you to point it out to her. Maybe that's why she missed the fitting.

  perhaps you could say, something like, hey, I'm sorry you missed the fitting, I need to ask the seamstress a question, would you like to see if she can reschedule?

  Exactly. I had the same situation with a bm's dress being too small. She's a grown adult and will get it taken care of. She is probably self-conscious about her wait gain as it is.
