If your big day is fast approaching your first instinct is to go out and buy the dress as soon as possible. Finding a dress may be hard to do in a plus size but here are a few tips to help.
It’s important to know where to shop for a dress first. There are several bridal shops online and within driving distance to most anyone. The larger stores can offer a convenient online store that you can shop at before you actually go to the store. Shopping online will help you figure out which style and design you are most interested in. Gather your friends around the computer and begin shopping. Once you narrow down your choices you can drive to the shop to try on the dresses. David’s Bridal is a retail store that you may want to start with first. They offer the most selection. There are bridal shops that specialize in plus size wedding dresses so you may want to look at these first.
Next you will need to know your size and shape. There is more to plus sizes then what size the tag says on the back. You may want to look for a wedding dress with a v neckline or an a line shape. Try to avoid a bridal gown with a full skirt like a ballgown. You want something to form to your figure. You want to be comfortable in your wedding dress. You want to have a dress that forms around you and won’t be too tight or too snug. You want to be able to move around gracefully and not one that has you holding your breathe during the ceremony. If you have a dress that is too tight you may experience dizziness and faint. Be comfortable with your dress, this is your big day.
Next you need to have it fitted. Most of the time when you buy a wedding dress you will need it tailored to fit you. This is where it gets tricky because if you don’t get it fit right you may pay for it on your wedding day. You also need to keep in mind that you may be bloated or nauseated on your wedding day and if your dress is too tight it will make it worse. Most bridal stores will offer free tailoring when you buy your wedding dress. Having everything fit right will help you feel more comfortable.
Always bring someone along with you for a second opinion. It helps to have a friend be honest and tell you what works and what don’t. But in the end it is your final decision. Make a day of it, go out and get measured and then go eat lunch together. Make a list of all the things you want to accomplish and set out to do it.
Remember that in the end, everything is your decision. It is up to how you will look and how this day will turn out. Take charge and get the dress you want. Love the dress you choose and have fun.
