My dress! Any other plus sized Hayley Paige brides?

catobx, on October 10, 2017 at 11:10 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 57

Hi ladies, totally new to this forum but I have a slight addiction to wedding forums so I figured I'd introduce myself and post my dream gown. It is a Hayley Paige. I am having trouble, though, finding any other plus sized Hayley brides. All of her brides seem to be on the thinner end of the spectrum. Her sizes run suuuuper small so ordering the size I did was a bit of a letdown. I have always been self conscious of my figure but this dress does make me feel like a true bride. Please note in the picture the sample is like 4 sizes too small so it doesn't fit properly especially on the shoulders/sleeves. I'd love to hear your feedback!

    I think it's a really pretty dress and I am sure it will flatter you wonderfully! I haven't chosen my dress yet, so I can't give any input. I just think it's really pretty.

    I think that's a gorgeous dress and in the correct size would look even more amazing on you. Keep in mind that wedding dress sizing is about 4 sizes smaller than street sizing. Did you get measured and ordered in the size that correlates with HP gowns? Or did you order your regular street size?

    Thank you! The woman at the bridal shop measured me based on HP sizes. She mentioned they tend to run smaller than most bridal designers. I hope to lose at least 2 sizes before my wedding next September, but still not fun to see the number on paper nonetheless :/ Oh well, no one will see the tag!

    Girrrlll, size doesn't define YOU. I know it's kinda intimidating to see that in writing, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with you or your size. You are gorgeous (assuming that's you in your avatar?) and you will absolutely own this dress. Good luck in your future endeavors & I hope you reach your goals.

    Thank you ladies so much, your encouragement is much appreciated! Yes it is me in my avatar, just on one of those days I actually put in the time to glam up and found some good lighting, haha. Thank you again, and I can't wait to follow both of your beautiful weddings! Smiley smile

    I would also like to add that my comment about you being gorgeous had nothing to do with size-- I just think you look pretty so I felt the need to mention that. Before that got misconstrued. Lol.

    You are rocking that dress as it is! Love the style and I think it really suits you. I agree with PPs - don't let the dress size define you. You're already gorgeous!

    It really looks beautiful on you even before alterations. I would not even think you are plus size.

    Hi cbryns, it would be great if you could set an avatar photo. You’ll get more replies on your threads and it’ll help the community recognize you when you post. This can be done from the desktop version of the site by going to “My Settings”, or you can email a picture to community@weddingwire.com and someone will set it for you.

    I felt the same while trying on sample sizes. Damn bridal sizing can get depressing.. but that dress is going to be beautiful on you!
