Plus size brides (over size 18) can you share about your experience shopping for your wedding dress? Where did you find your dress? What are all the stores you looked at? Any advice? Was your experience easier or harder than you expected? Do you mind sharing your pics? What were your choices like, too little to pick from, or too many?

What waistlines and silhouettes, did you prefer? I love A-line and princess/ball gown safe choices for me. But i also love mermaid but dont know how id look.

Ive been plus size my whole life, so ive always had limited choice compared to everyone else. Im size 22/24 in regular dress size but i was size 28 for my bridesmaid dress for my sisters wedding. How much bigger of a size did you have to order compared to your regular size?


Thanks in advance!

    I did not have luck at David's bridal as well. I looked online and found a dress and they fit it to your size. It's only 150.00 bucks and now I don't have to pay for alterations unless I lose inches :-)

    You look absolutely stunning! I’m terrified to go dress shopping as I have no idea what size I am normally. Basically, I’m 5ft 1/2 and 237lbs. I’ve always had trouble finding clothes, so I gave up on numbered sizes a long time. All of the bridal shops I’ve looked into only go up to 24 or 26. I normally wear a 3x so I don’t know if that will fit me.
