Dreamful, I was thinking about doing the Two Birds dresses too. I did some research on them, and apparently the dress doesn't look good on people above a size 8 or so. Also, you'd have to go backless in alot of the dress styles, and that won't work for a lot of women.

Since you got a chance to see the dresses, what was the quality of the material like? Is it worth the money?

On "My Fair Wedding" they have had plus-sized girls in these dresses and I thought they were flattering. The material is the real question ... it's not typical "formal attire" fabric but I haven't seen that in person. All I know is that they can definitely be altered to be flattering to all body types.

It is a very flowy (sp?) material, possibly satin, and my MOH who wore it thought it felt more like a nightgown than a bridesmaid dress, although we did like how versatile it was.
