Plus-Size Brides: Feel Beautiful, Confident, and True to Yourself

Finding the right dress is all about confidence and knowing what to expect. Here are some tips for plus-size brides when shopping for their dream wedding dress:

1. Book an Appointment at Plus Size-Friendly Bridal Shops

Not all bridal shops carry a wide selection of plus-size wedding dresses, so it’s important to choose a boutique that caters to brides of all shapes and sizes.  Call before you visit – check the size range of the store to ensure it fits your needs. At The Dress Shop, we proudly offer a range of plus size gowns from designers from top designers including Justin Alexander, Signature, Sincerity, Maggie Sottero, Rebecca Ingram, and our private collections to ensure that every bride finds her perfect fit.

2. Embrace Your Curves

Don’t be afraid to try on different styles that show off your curves. You might be surprised at which silhouettes make you feel the most beautiful. Whether it’s a figure-hugging mermaid gown or a flowy A-line, trust your instincts and embrace the styles that make you feel amazing.

3. Don’t Get Caught Up in the Size Tag

Wedding dress sizes often differ from standard clothing sizes, and it’s common for bridal sizes to run small. Focus on how the dress fits and feels rather than the number on the tag. Your stylist will help you find the perfect size based on your measurements.

4. Consider Alterations

A great fit makes all the difference, so don’t hesitate to invest in alterations. Whether it’s hemming the length, adjusting the straps, or adding sleeves, alterations can make your dress feel custom-made for you.

5. Accessorize with Confidence

Complete your look with accessories that complement your gown and add a personal touch. A beautiful cathedral veil, sparkling jewelry, or a statement headpiece can elevate your bridal style and make you feel like the star of the show.

Your wedding dress should make you feel beautiful, confident, and true to yourself.
