So Im plus size !!! wedding dress shopping !

Try go to stores that stock plus size dresses! It's SO hard to imagine how a tiny dress, pinned to you, will look in your true size.

I actually changed my tiny sampled dress to another, after trying on a true size satin gown. Who knows if I'd have really preferred the original, had it been in a bigger size.

Go to stores that stock plus size!

Good luck. :-)

Oh PS don't be put off by label sizes. Wedding dresses are notorious for being 2+ sizes smaller than the label! (Surely should be the other way on the most important day of our live's but ay)

I’m not plus size but I’ve heard a number of plus size brides talk about Anomalie. Google them. You can work with them to create your own custom dress. Check them out and see if it’s for you.

If you need a strapless bra, I recommend the Curvy Kate Luxe (they also have a longline/Basque but I've not tried it). I wear it mine for every outfit with a weird neckline. I'm curvy, 30H in their sizing (42-30-45ish) and I'll probably have to get a 16W with a lot of alterations to fit well. I want fitted to show off my curves. Once I go trying I'll post some pics, I've been avoiding that first dress trip 😅 good luck!

I said Yes!!!! So I tried this bad boy on and it was amazing light and I knew I could see myself walking down the aisle. I just want to thank everyone for the encouragement and the advice. I had fun and even skyped my mom so she could see. Oh and I lost four dress size in the last 2 months!!!!!!! Im really thankful for yall seriously I almost canceled this trip to the city several times.

Definitely try a fit and flare!!! Now mind you I will be wearing shapewear and thus needs some alterations.

I am also plus sized, I found Mori Lee had some amazing plus size dresses that fit my figure really well.

Also along with looking and feeling great, bring the one person whom you know will be honest and knows your style and body shape well and whom you feel most comfortable with. For me that was my mom.!
