There is a lot more options than I thought. My sister is a bridesmaid and she is bigger bust, so this helps in the decision process. Not sure how I feel about the Samantha for big bust.
This would have been so nice to know when I was a bridesmaid lol!
Thanks for providing a guide for bigger-busted bridesmaids. 2 of my 3 girls are a bit on the chestier side, so this will be great advice for them! I am letting each girl choose their own style, but requesting they all wear the same color. This guide will be super helpful to them!
Great advice, thank you!
I love that there are so many styles that will flatter my girls with bigger chests! This is also why I’m thinking about just going with a set color and letting my girls pick the style that they feel most comfortable in!
So helpful!!!!
