Shopping for bridesmaid dresses online is a task and a half. Why? Because your bridal squad is naturally made up of women of various different shapes, so, alongside trying to settle on a style or colour that they all like, you’ll be needing it in a range of sizes to boot. Luckily, there are plenty of retailers that stock plus size bridesmaid dresses to ensure your girls’ gowns make them feel their very best selves.
So while you may be up-to-your-eyeballs-stressed with having to plan everything else (i.e. your wedding dress, honeymoon, wedding scent, table favours and bridal lingerie), you can breathe a sigh of relief that not only is finding the best plus size bridesmaid dresses actually a breeze, but that we’ve already found 19 of them for you.
Your bridesmaids deserve to look and feel gorgeous on your big day as much as you do, but there is a vast amount to consider when it comes to finding them each a dress. Don’t panic, though; if you’d like them all to be uniform in the same design, places like ASOS, Karen Millen, Coast, H&M and Needle & Thread are exactly where you should look first. These are the brands that are best known for offering the same styles for various different heights and sizes – and we absolutely love them for it.
On the flip side, though, multiway dresses and mix and match bridesmaid gowns are all the rage at the moment, so opting for a coordinated look instead of an identical one is just as viable and equally as chic.
The plus size bridesmaid dresses that caught our eyes the most? Needle & Thread’s Ribbon Bouquet Bodice Ankle Gown, for its playful embroidery and short sleeves, and Coast’s Multiway Bridesmaid Maxi Dress for its ability to be worn in countless ways.
