how do you tell your friend that she hasnt got the figure for a strapless dress?

why do you HAVE to tell her? she can wear what she wants. she can see herself in the mirror when she wears a strapless dress and if she likes the way it looks then she can wear it. you arent the queen of fashion

Tell her that an off shoulder dress looks better than a strapless dress.

I suspect that she is trying the wrong dresses on, I personally think that there is a dress out there for everyone no matter what your shape is and I think what you need to say to her is that, particular cut of dress may not be as flattering as another. Try and help her by suggesting other ideas as that is far more helpful then just telling her the particular dress she has is just not working on her.

well just try telling her that you think that a dress with straps would compliment her figure, make her try one on tell her it's so slimming and that it looks SO good on her, if worst comes to worst just tell her something that's bad about the strapless dress, maybe it makes her bust look too big for her body, just say something like that. but tell her you're doing it in all honesty and you don't want to hurt her feelings

Not got the figure as in she doesn't fill it? Just tell her that it might drop off when you are wherever you're going! Now I think she'd rather you told her than be embarrassed like that, don't you?

Or do you mean she hasn't got the figure 'cos she's too big for it? Why not suggest a shrug or something like that....?

i dont think you should just come out with it directly, be tactile about it.. find another nicer dress for her and tell her how flattering it is on her. really you should let your friend wear what she wants what are you bothered about that she will make you look bad? support her dont make her feel rotten ,your her friend. think about what you will tell her if you do, your way with words could mean the difference between her feeling crappy cos of you, or feeling supported and thankful she has an honest friend.

How about like "hey, I think this off the shoulder dress will look great on you and it'll look good on your body figure too!"

That's what I'd do. If you want, you can just say "that dress doesn't really suit your figure."

it particularly is like this, whilst i became into in school I had 2 lady acquaintances who we ought to declare basically approximately something to and we knew all of us "enjoyed" one yet another in basic terms so we did no longer might desire to tension approximately "am i able to tell her this or that!?" So, if ya'll are as cool acquaintances as you're saying you're, have faith me, she would be able to be happy in the long-term which you stepped as much as the plate and womaned up and basically reported it. "Honey, i understand you particularly like that gown yet am i able to declare something?" with any luck she'll say definite yet whilst its a topic, basically tell her you do love her yet! you do no longer choose to be certain her get harm via the adult males on the promenade yet possibly you the two ought to attempt to %. a gown for her a splash greater complimentary. If that doesn't do it, i actually do no longer understand what to enable you recognize. stable luck and function relaxing and be form.

well tell her that , you think she can find a dress that " fits " her better. If she gets made tell her that you were just trying to be honest. Maybe you should take her shopping for a new dress.

what you should tell her is to get off her big a** and go work out so she can wear anything she wants without you complaining!

Seriosly though I would just say, "well i think this dress with sleeves would look much better on you, it will make you look much thinner" and if she insist on wearing the straplees then let her be.
