Tips for Choosing Plus Size Bridesmaid Dresses
Narrowing down your bridesmaid dress options can be overwhelming! There are so many silhouettes, colors, fabrics to pick from, and of course you want to make everyone happy. Here are a few tips on choosing plus size bridesmaid dresses to help you get started.
1. Ask Your Bridesmaids for Input
Although you have an idea of what you want and like, consider asking your girls for their input. This will give you an idea of what everyone is into and what they would like to avoid. For example, you might get feedback that your party wants to avoid tight-fitting gowns, or those with minimal breast support.Â

How to Find the Perfect Plus Size Bridesmaid Dresses
1. Consider A-Line Silhouettes
A-line dresses are the go-to gown for plus size bridesmaids. This silhouette flatters every body type - and as an added bonus, it's comfortable! However, try to avoid a-line gowns with additional volume or ruffles, which may add unnecessary volume to a plus size bridesmaid's shape.

2. Opt for V-Neckline Bridesmaid Dresses
We offer a lot of neckline options for plus size gals. If you have a larger bust, we recommend the classic V-neckline. It is very feminine and can actually make your neck look longer and your bust look smaller. Check out the Vera gown below to see what we mean! It's a complete knock-out.
3. Consider Solid Color Bridesmaid Dresses
Solid color bridesmaid dresses are very much in style at the moment. It's also helpful to keep in mind that patterns tend to make people look larger, especially stripes and dots. Instead, opt for a solid color. We have plenty of shades to choose from!
4. Pay Attention to Bridesmaid Dress Fabrics
When it comes to fabric, there is only one general rule: avoid anything that clings. Tight fitting fabric can be super uncomfortable and restricting, especially when you're trying to dance or move around. We recommend choosing a lace or chiffon fabric - both of which will drape over your curves beautifully.
Plus Size Bridesmaid Robes
Our designers are mindful of the fact that many bridesmaid robes are too short and can make the wedding party feel uncomfortable. These bridesmaid robes are a longer, knee-length design. A little extra coverage can ensure that everybody is comfortable as they get ready for the Big Day!
1. Plus Size Satin Bridesmaid Robes
Kennedy Blue's plus size satin bridesmaid robes are inclusive enough for your entire bridal party! First and foremost, we are size inclusive - our satin bridesmaid robes come in standard size (fits size 00 to 12) as well as plus size (size 14-24), so all of your girls should be covered!
