So IM starting to prepare to go wedding dress shopping this weekend! I have looked up dresses and tried not to fall in loves with any of them. I have started to loose weight and trying to build myself up after some horrible trips to try on dresses.

So I plan to wear new undies and do my hair and makeup so I feel good.


Does anyone have Any other tips ?



Also I really love the fitted gowns and even the fitted gowns on the plus size models.... but im scared to try them on ( Im going with my fiancé family). Does any curvy full figured women have pictures of them in a fitted I think it might help if I saw a real plus sized women in a fitted dress. I tried looking at other forums and couldn't find one.

    I saw her on Instagram and connected with her and decided to give It a try because of the price and Indeed i was marvelled. Just search for "Milani Bridal" on Instagram. You can even send pictures of your Dream gown and get It customised with own size

    I encourage you to love and accept yourself as/is and not put the huge pressure on yourself to lose weight. You have enough to worry about! Your fiancée loves you for you and you can look gorgeous I so many styles. I’m a size 18/20 in normal clothes and had to order a size 22 in my gown. I tried it on a few days ago and it’s too big so these pictures look a little funny! I’m including one of myself in a fitted gown I tried on.

    I second anyone who said David’s Bridal. I’m a plus size bride at a size 20 and they were so accommodating and had so many options there for me to try on. Also I recommend especially if you’re a plus size bride with some bigger girls in the bra area that you get a bustier. They give you a sample one at David’s Bridal to try on with your dresses but it’s actually comfortable and keeps the girls in!

    I actually found that I like the fitted gowns best and I’m plus size. I wear a 16-18. Here is some of them on me. To me the ones that are not fitted make me feel and look bigger

    Do you have an estimated date for when your dress will be ready to be collected?

    It's ready to be collected now because I got it off the rack didn't have to order it. I just got to pay the $$423.57 I still owe on it.

    Girl go for the fitted dress! Personally, they show off your curves in all the right places rather than hiding yourself under a bunch of fabric. Wear some spank shorts or whatever makes you comfortable, BUT most dresses have such a great lining or corset you that you wont even need them! Good luck and be confident in yourself!

    Yes I sure have! The moment I bought the dress I started saving pics of accessories! My veil matches perfectly so now I’m looking for the perfect rose gold floral headpiece and earrings. Do you think a necklace is necessary? I was all for no necklace but now I’m doubting it!

    Thanks Natalie! You rock Galatea. The only reason I didn’t go with it is because my fiancée would have died at the sheer bodice 😂

    My biggest tip would be to go with an open mind! I'm also a plus size bride and when I went shopping for my dress I had already blocked out certain types of dresses I did not want to even try on. Well, the lady helping me at the bridal salon talked me into trying on one of the dress types I really didn't want to try on b/c of my body shape and it actually ended up being the dress I fell in love with and bought!
