Too fat to look pretty

Hi everyone I am Brittany I am terrified about going dress shopping because I am a very big girl and I fear that I won't find a dress in my budget to fit or make me feel pretty.

    You might consider finding a style you like and getting it custom made. It will be a perfect fit for you then and having it custom made can be more budget friendly than going to a store and a lot less stressful. In the end, you will look beautiful, but I totally understand needing go feel comfortable to do so. Good luck!

    I’m a plus side bride to be and I never felt more beautiful than when I put my dress on. When you find your dress you will know it and will feel amazing and beautiful!

    I wear a street size 28 dress. I got a beautiful Essence of Australia off the rack for $499. It was a sample sale. Go to a salon that specializes in plus size. They will have a nice selection for you. I worried too. You will look pretty.

    Honey, you are going to be beautiful no matter what you wear. I am plus sized as well and I know the struggle. It is hard to see all these gorgeous brides who are size 4 but you know what? You are just as beautiful. Your fiancé picked YOU. How awesome that you have a love together that you get to celebrate. My advice is to find a plus sized bridal shop, they have many options and will be versed in how to fit you so you look STUNNING in whatever you put on. If it really bothers you, try to adapt a healthy lifestyle and hit the gym a few times a week and just be cognizant of what you eat. But no matter your size your fiancé is going to be so elated to see you walk down the aisle in your gown. I will post a pic of me in my Hayley Paige gown which was like 6 sizes too small when I tried it on; as nervous and nauseous as I was that day going in I ended up feeling so happy and pretty. You never know until you try! Get it girl and be confident in your curves!!!!

    Lady you will look absolutely stunning on your wedding day. Focus on the positive! Love your neckline? Go for a v neck or strapless. Have an hour glass shape? Go for a natural waist to show off your waist! It's all about staying positive and focusing on what you feel confident and beautiful in. I'm a size 8 in pants but had to size up because I have curves and an athletic build. But I found the one and you will too!! Try not to be too serious your first appointment or two as well. Personally, once I started to relax and have fun it was so much easier to find the one. Also, David's is having their annual $99 sale, just saying Smiley smile! Also, bring people with you that will be supportive and enjoyable to be around!
