If you’re just starting to look for the perfect plus sized wedding gown, you know that it can be a bit of a challenge. Never mind that salon sample sizes aren’t always full-figure friendly — there’s also a seemingly endless number of trends, fabrics, and silhouettes to choose from. Here are a few tips to help you find a plus sized wedding gown that makes you feel as great as you look.
In particular, look for plus sized wedding gown that is ruched in an asymmetrical pattern — for instance gathered on one side of the gown. This pattern brings the eyes up to the face and creates a vertical shape to the gown. Anything with ruching can be very forgiving, regardless of your shape or height. It also helps to add support and gives the gown more structure.
If there’s ever a time that a bride has to wear something that she loves when it comes to fashion, it should be on her wedding day. Every shape, embellishment, and detail comes in plus size, so if you want to have ruffles, bows, flowers, or beading — go for it! The only rule to keep in mind is looking for a plus size bridal gown that’s asymmetrical, which is not only more flattering, but more artistic as well.
