    It totally depends on how she's shaped. Plus sizes come in all shapes, so your question is like asking what kind of dress would look good on any of your bridesmaids with no other descriptions. My sister is also plus sized, but because she's an apple shape, some of the dresses that are nipped at the middle look bad, although the same style looks great on plus sized friends. Have her try stuff on, see what looks good and what fits.

    Did you ask her to be a BM?

    Sometimes an empire waist can flatter a girl with a tummy. The thing about ruching is it is usually done with some horizontal lining, and it can make anyone look bigger than they are. Plus the thicker the lines (spacing in between), the more you will look wider. The only way she's going to know what looks good on her is when she tries on dresses, that is if she is in your WP.

    Don't let your sister dictate who is in your wedding party, you decide that.  If you're not that close, don't ask her.  If you're not asking her because she's plus-sized, though, that's a terrible reason to leave your sister out of your wedding day.

    It really depends how big her chest is and her stomach etc.  I would go to DB, they have sizes ranging from 0-20 something.  I would have her come and pick out something she likes in your color.  You always have the option giving the girls the color and length and letting them pick what dress looks best on them.

    Does she have any idea what kinds of dresses she likes?  I'd start there.
