Calling plus size brides, show me your Dress

Suzie_Cue, on September 26, 2016 at 8:38 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 172

I wanted to make this thread for the Plus Size bride that starts feeling hopeless when dress shopping. I am plus size and it was difficult to find a dress that fit, and even more a dress that I loved. I always saw the posts with pics of the dresses of future brides, and I always thought, "I will never look like that (a bride)". I want you to know you are beautiful! Embrace what you have. Be patient. Call around to find stores with curvalicuous sizes, and love yourself! You found your man, you will find your dress! Smiley smile I am a bride size 20-22.

    I go dress shopping October 15th and super excited but super nervous about finding a dress that fits me well and that I fall in love with. I am guessing I will be in 22 range.

    @GreeneBunny, thank you for sharing. You not only found one, but 2 beautiful gowns for you!

    @AmberS. I am not saying it will be easy but you will find a dress. Do not get discouraged. It was hard for me to undress even for the consultants. Once I embraced who I am and what I am working with, I started seeing myself differently in the gowns. I was able to see the whole look rather than my "flaws". Keep us posted!

    I need this thread... I have been putting off shopping for a [plus size] dress. Appointments are set up for this week and I lay awake at night convincing myself to cancel them in the morning. Having serious anxiety. Thanks for the hope ladies!

    Size 16-18. I love my dress so, so much. I was also super anxious about it, but dress shopping was a really positive experience overall. There were a lot of dresses that were flattering, extra fluff and all. Don't sell yourselves short!
