Y'all didnt warn me of the nightmare this will be lol

None of my bm live in bmore so since we are stilla good 17 months out I am getting the ladies when they come this way to try on dresses...
So my Soror who lives in Texas was intown this weekend drug her to DB
Omg none of the dresses on my fav list looked right

Ugh out of the 20 she tred on 4 looked good and came in my colors I will post pics when I log onto my laptop

I see this gonna be a headache all of my bm are very busty DD+ except for my future sister in law she is the only thin one..... Pray for me lol

    Girl yes.. 4 of mine are outside of Texas. All of my girls are diff sizes also, I have size 2's up to 18. What I did was took my local BM to DM and we narrowed down to 3 dresses. I sent each girls the numbers of the dresses and have them pick from those 3. So all my BM will have 1 of the 3 dresses. It works out better because the size 18 tried on a dress that looked good on her but the girl that was a size 8 did not look so hot in it. Girl I feel your frustration.

    Girl I feel your frustration as well. But you know what, it will all work out and your day will be beautiful. The good thing is you are starting early so if you run into snags you have time. I am six months out and I just ran into a snag with the person making my invitations. His grandmother passed away and he had to go out of town to plan the funeral and all that good stuff, so I dont know when he will be back, so you know me I am just going to go another route. Its all good!  Just dont stress! Everything will be ok. Your girls are the first busty bridesmaids, so you will find something for them.
