How to Shop for Your Plus Size Wedding Dress
When it comes to finding your dream dress, there’s a lot to consider. Fortunately, we have five very useful plus size bridal tips:
- Create a Budget.
Before deciding to purchase a dress, it is essential to establish a rough cost range beforehand. At your appointments, your bridal stylist will want to know your budget before pulling any gowns for you.
- Know your Body Type.
Each body type requires different cuts and tailoring to create a flawless fit. Think about which features you want to flatter and accentuate – waist, bust, hips? Consider an A-line cut or a sheath dress for a slimming silhouette that doesn’t cling too tightly.
- Research Wedding Dresses.
From contemporary to romantic, most bridal salons carry a broad selection of plus size dresses. Spend time researching different designers and styles in advance. Determine what fabrics, elements and silhouettes you are looking for in your dream gown.
Having some style features in mind will help your bridal stylist pull styles you will love during your appointment. Think about if you feel inclined to a specific silhouette like an A-line or mermaid, or like details such as lace, sleeves or a dramatic train.
- Keep an Open Mind.
Don’t limit yourself to a single style. Try different wedding dress silhouettes and designs to explore more options. Don’t feel like you need to commit to any style or designer prior to your bridal appointment. Your preferences will evolve as you try on different dresses, so keep an open mind!
- Play with Fabrics and Textures.
When it comes to wedding dresses, fabric is key! Look for materials that will drape and flatter your figure. Soft fabrics such as lace and chiffon can give you a beautiful hourglass silhouette while still allowing freedom of movement.
