All women’s bodies are beautiful and unique, and each one reflects the beauty of life in its own way. We believe that every woman deserves to wear a wedding dress that is tailored to her unique measurements and celebrates her individual beauty.

With this in mind, we have created a guide for our beautiful plus-size brides, offering tips on how to choose the perfect wedding dress that enhances the elegance of their figure. It’s important to remember one thing: there are no "bad" body types. For every feature that might seem like a "flaw," there are at least two wonderful advantages that make you shine.

Silhouette

The most flattering wedding dress silhouette for plus-size brides is the A-line with a gently flowing skirt. This style helps to create a balanced proportion and subtly smooths the hip area for a beautifully natural look.

We recommend steering clear of excessively voluminous dresses, as they may not highlight your shape as beautifully, and could make you feel less comfortable.

For added support and comfort, consider choosing a dress with corset lacing. This can offer great support for the bust while gently accentuating your waist, creating an elegant and feminine silhouette.

Vertical Lines

Pay attention to dresses with vertical lines. A V-neckline, darts, vertical decorations, or slits on the skirt or back—these elements visually elongate the figure, creating a slimming effect.

Avoid Horizontal Elements

On the other hand, horizontal elements in the dress should be avoided. For example, a very pronounced belt can create the visual effect of "cutting" the figure, disrupting proportions.

High Waist Dresses

An exception to this rule is dresses with a high waist. This design is perfect for concealing any extra volume around the waist and visually elongating the figure.

Wrap Dresses

Another flattering option for fuller figures is wrap dresses. These can be found in both the neckline and the skirt. The wrap delicately draws attention to the décolletage, accentuates the waist, and gently highlights the curves of the hips.

Mermaid Dresses

If you have an hourglass figure, with a well-defined waist and rounded hips, a form-fitting mermaid dress can be a beautiful and flattering choice.

Sleeves and Arm Coverage

Dresses with slightly voluminous sleeves are a great choice for brides with fuller arms or shoulders. On the other hand, it’s best to avoid tight-fitting sleeves, as they can feel restrictive and less flattering.

Shapewear Tips

Another important tip: make sure to choose the right shapewear to wear under your wedding dress. It should gently shape your figure, making it look slimmer, while still being comfortable and allowing for free movement.

Fabric and Decoration

Shiny, glossy fabrics are not the best choice for plus-size brides, as they can visually add volume to the figure. We also recommend avoiding dresses with excessive rhinestones or sequins, as the shine can create unwanted volume on the fabric.

Instead, we suggest choosing dense, well-draping fabrics that are moderately elastic and comfortable, such as satin, tulle, or thick jersey. It's best to avoid dresses made from thin, semi-transparent fabrics.

Draped fabrics look great on brides of any body type. Properly done draping can draw attention to your best features and subtly conceal areas you might want to downplay.

It's best to avoid dresses with an overload of decorative details. Bows, large drapes, ruffles, and bulky embellishments can add extra volume to your figure. Instead, we recommend choosing dresses with a simple, elegant design, perhaps with one delicate and tasteful embellishment.
