Plus size wedding dress shopping, what best

Plus sized wedding dress shopping, whats best for you?

Hopefully by the time we are getting married we know enough about our body type to know what looks good on us and what doesn’t.  Looking for a plus size wedding dress doesn’t have to be a daunting task. As long as you stick to the rules you’ve taught yourself about what styles make you look and feel beautiful and what is flattering you will be just fine. There’s lots of advice out there about what fabrics to use, what cuts to wear, but honesty, who knows you better than yourself, what if you feel just gorgeous in soft flowing fabric, even though that’s supposed to be an absolute no, no.. if it makes you feel gorgeous, go for it. You are supposed to wear tailored cuts so you don’t add pounds (or kilos). Who cares, are you comfortable in tailored styles, if not….DONT DO IT! You’ve got to live with the memories and the feeling of your wedding day for the rest of your life. So make sure you wear what you love. plus-size-wedding dress However: If you are looking for structure in a dress, ruching is a great idea. It is flattering and will give you the look you are wanting. It is suggested that A-line styles are flattering, but check it out for yourself, you’ll know what works. Plus size wedding dress shopping can be a little daunting if you go to small boutiques,  salon sample sizes aren’t always full-figure friendly. If you want to go to a boutique and feel a little concerned, why not call ahead to make sure they aren’t going to stand you in a sea of size 6 dresses.  You want to know they have some sizes that will work for you, even if the styles don’t fit you perfectly you will start to get an idea of what works.  Make sure you buy a dress which fits your largest “asset” so if your bust is size 12 but your hips size 18, buy the size 18 and alter it to accommodate the rest of your body.

Preparing to visit bridal boutiques.

Wear underwear that makes you feel good and is similar to what you plan to wear on your big day. Bring your wedding shoes so you can try on your dress and check the length and if you have one, bring a strapless bra. I know I can hear you saying, I wouldn’t wear a strapless dress, but you might just surprise yourself, with the right fitting it is one of the most flattering and sexy designs in plus size wedding dresses. You can also shop online for your wedding gown, you can find some great bargains at sites that offer pre-loved dresses. These dresses have only been worn once, for a few hours and are professionally cleaned. Check it out, you’ll be amazed what’s available for a fraction of the price.

If you’ve checked out what styles you want, you can easily find a dress local to you, that some newly married gal is selling. You will be able to try it on. She is going to want her dress to go to someone who will love it as much as she did and she will probably share some wonderful stories about how fantastic she felt in her dress. You can probably even peak at wedding photos to see how it held up in the photo shoot! Your perfect plus sized wedding gown is available, so don’t ever settle for anything other than your dream dress..

I know for me, and I suspect for most brides to be, wedding dress  shopping brought up a whole host of body issues and insecurities. Please don’t fall for the trap that so many of us are guilty of, buying a size smaller in the hope you will lose weight before the big day. Hey if you do lose a few kilos, get the dress altered, but don’t set yourself up with so much pressure. It’s meant to be fun, remember!
