For many brides, it is a real shock to learn that wedding dresses typically run in sizes way, way, way above your regular clothing size. Hearing that super-sized number can make any women in that fitting room cringe.
“I’m a what? No way. I’m not wearing that then!” At least, that’s what I said back when I tried on my gowns. Although I wasn’t quite a plus size, it still hurt to have to wear such a bigger size.
For some of us who wear a larger clothing size, the reality is that you may find yourself in a plus size wedding dress. Fear not! They’ve come along way baby!
Take a look at these fabulous, elegant styles and photographs I found at Allure Brides. Love them all! Guess what? Available in sizes 14W-32W! Awesome.
Today, so many great bridal stores, like Allure Brides, have a women’s or a plus size section. Sure, I wish they would call it something more tasteful too! But gals, get over it. Why argue semantics when it’s about looking fantastic!
(Confession: Today, I have a little black dress on to see clients. It looked great in the dressing room. I thought it was a large. Got home and my jaw dropped when the tag said XXL. Screw it. I look really hot in it! I may go buy more in other colors. Ha!)
These wedding dresses are perfectly made for a fuller figure. On your wedding day, you will be so happy that you have a bridal gown that actually fits properly. Don’t buy an unflattering dress that hurts you because it has the number 6 on the tag! That’s not healthy!
I’ve photographed over 300 brides and their wedding dresses as a professional wedding photographer. Not once have I ever taken a photo of the size tag of a dress. Typically I prefer to focus on the gorgeous, happy girl in that hot dress!
