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?
