conservative BM dress help please

some of my BMs are requesting for gowns that have SLEEVES or WIDE STRAPS (not halters)so i'm trying to look for one that looks nice but i can't seem to find any! the popular ones are tube tops and halters but i noticed there aren't that many sleeved-bm gowns.

can you help find one please? they want sleeves or at the very least, one with straps (not just spaghetti straps). i've told them a shawl will pretty much provide the coverage they need, but boy... i didn't realize how "conservative" they are! (no, i am not kicking them out because of this)

please post pics or share link!

TIA from me & my conservative BMs!

Re: BM dress help please

I have the same situation with my MOH..so I've already done some research :)

Aria dresses have some thicker straps:

You can create your own BM dresses to your liking with Lynn Lugo designs

Siri has a lot of options too...look under Bridesmaids, but also there are some really nice sleeved choices under Mother of the Bride (surprisingly young looking)

Hope this helps! I would love to see what other sites you girls recommend!

Re: BM dress help please

My friend had a strapless gown but she had the seamstress add 1 1/2 inch thick straps (where spaghetti straps would go). She wanted to be able to wear a regular bra. I'm not sure that's what you had in mind but it can be done. I searched for a picture but she doesn't have any up anywhere. A girl I work with's sister had a bolero/shrug thing made to wear with her strapless gown since she was selfconcious about her arms.

thanks Bella & Shelly! I'll check out the sites and also find a seamstress. My BMs would appreciate it!

The stores we went to all said they can order extra material and have wide straps added to almost any strapless dress!!
