Hmmm. I get the feeling you do not totally understand.
One thing lacking from my wardrobe is a Coast dress.
Very good call, the colour theme for the ladies is emerald green - a quick look on the Coast website and there's some decent ideas there.
Whatever I choose, the other bridesmaids are wearing too so I best get it right

Surely Raymond is the person to ask? He must have some experience with bridesmaids dresses...
Oddly as someone else has said, need shapes of all bridesmaids...
Scottish family by any chance?

Not me. Post pics so we can help decide the best look.
Okay doke.
What I think I look like:
What I actually look like:
In all seriousness, I'm going to look a lot different by the middle of next year than I do right now.

Yeah, this might complicate things?
Will it only be hormone therapy that'll 'help' you along or are you having additional surgery?

Hmm, that's just my usual friday night get-up, don't need any special occasion for tarting it up a little
Shapes, well there's 4 of us. Strangely enough I'm the slimmest of the lot, although tallest by a few inches. I'm an 8/10 bottom half, and 10/12 up top. The other 3 are a genuine 12. Neither of them are big, nor are they size zero. Something that will accentuate their curves I think, and nothing too extravagant.
Body shape will be a bit of an issue for me, not for the others though. As much as the hormones are rearranging what little body fat I have, I'm too slim to ever have as defined a waist as I'd like. I can always take the dress to my local dressmaker and have her take it in to try and smoke and mirror some definition though.
I'd love to have a strapless dress, but my boobs will be very new and I'll still be getting used to them, the weight and the way different garments hang and feel with them. Last thing I want is to be constantly petrified all day of a wardrobe malfunction.
I'm leaning towards something satin, figure hugging, simple yet elegant.
/raises eyebrow. This took an interesting twist. Do you need a date for said wedding? Lol
