Tall and/curvy brides

Crystal, on May 28, 2020 at 9:38 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
Hey all! Are there any tall and/or curvy brides out there? I’m 6’1ish and I wear a size 16/18 in clothing. I’m hoping to get my bridal shoes from Sophia Webster(they have extended sizes) but I’d love to see where you all got your inspiration and/or gowns! Hope everyone is holding up okay amidst all this chaos.

    Hi Crystal!

    I wear 14/16 depending on what it is. I recommend trying out a bridal resale site called Stillwhite. It's where I got my dress. It's a resale site but some of the dresses up for sale have never been worn/tag still attached. All the dresses are pretty decently discounted as well. My dress is Demetrios 2017 and the seller had never worn it and I got it over 60% off retail price. As for my shoes I'll be getting Badgley Mischka Valentina Pumps.

    Hey. Im 5’9 and about a 12/14 right now. I went with Badgley Mischka, most of their shoes go up to 11, some are available in a size 12. My dresses are both being customized by the designers. As most models are tall, it’ll give you a good idea of what the dresses look like on a longer albeit thinner body.

    I’m 5’11 and wear a Street size 16 street, wedding size 18 in a Maggie Sottero gown. Decided on Jimmy Choo shoes for the ceremony and pictures. And will slip into slides for the reception.Tall and/curvy brides 5

    I love BM! They’re another brand I was looking at in terms of shoes (I’m a size 12). Thank you for that! I’m leaning towards custom because I honestly don’t want to be let down by bridal salons.

    I think a more structured, figure flattering style with ruching looks so beautiful on a curvy/tall figure! Celebrate every curve instead of hiding anything!
