Plus Size Brides

The average sized American woman these days is a size 12. Walking into a bridal salon for a woman of this size can be a slap in the face as to the fact that most designers send out samples in a 10 or 12.(And a 10 or 12 in the bridal industry is more like a 6 or an 8.) Good grief, talk about depressing! Whats a girl to do then in this situation? And what kind of style would even work for a curvy woman? No worries....I've got the answers!! The internet is a full figured brides dream come true. You can find tons of bridal gowns to get in sizes 18 plus. It may be scary to order online, however if you know your body you should be able to get a gown that fits beautifully. In general the A-line is the most flatttering cut to stick with and to stay away from fabrics like charmuese and chiffon as to they tend to hug all the wrong places. It is common to want to wear sleeves to cover up your arms but you want to be careful with what fabric you go with. Sheer sleeves on a plus size woman can make the arms look even bigger than they really are. Hope this helps and happy hunting!!!
Check out the curvy babes in the gowns above, they are both from Bonny's Unforgettable Collection. Yowza!

Who's the Boss?

Before the beginning of your venture out looking for bridesmaid dresses, I recommend you stop and take a minute to watch the movie 27 Dresses. Lets have a reality check here.....95% of the time the dresses that you choose for your bridesmaids to wear for your wedding end up never getting worn again.(The remainder 5% put it on to make fun of it.) No, they are not going to be able to cut down that floor length purple taffeta dress to cocktail length and wear it again. This is your wedding, just pick out a dress that you want to see on the big day and in the pictures the rest of your life! You might run into a few members in the party that may have "issues" with the dress, but hey, they'll probably do the same to you in their wedding or just kick them to the curb.(Its okay to be bridezilla in certain situations!) To conclude, don't stress yourself out trying to please all the girls in your party. Its your day, your photos, your memories......pick the dress you want!!!!!
As for the dresses featured above, a bride liked them, had cooperative friends/family that wore what she wanted, and had a wonderful wedding day and lovely memories from that. End of story!!!!!!!
*On a sidenote....despite the fact I am sticking up for the brides that choose the dresses featured, I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh uncontrollably when looking at the photos! :)
