Choosing a bridal dress is never easy. For a woman with plus size body type,Tips to Find Perfect Plus Size Wedding Dress Articles it can be tougher to choose a gown as one has to keep in mind several factors such as fabric, style, fit and so on. Here are some tips to help you choose perfect plus size wedding dresses:

FabricFor brides-to-be who have curvaceous figures, thicker fabrics look more flattering. Choose fabrics such as satin, taffeta, or silk applique as they hide imperfections. Besides avoid wedding dresses that come with heavily beaded bodices and applique details as these extravagant styles make people look at the dress more than the bride!

Sleeves and necklinesStrapless gowns are in vogue. But women with plus size should steer clear of this style.

As most plus size women tend to have large upper arms it would make sense to stay away from strapless or halter-style bridal dress as they will make your shoulders and arms look heavier and wider.

You can choose a gown that features cap sleeves or thicker straps which create a slimmer silhouette. Luckily, there are many bridal stores that can add sleeves or straps to any cheap wedding dresses you ask for. If your eyes and heart are set on a particular strapless dress, just get the sleeves attached. Just make sure to choose a material that doesn’t squeeze or look puffy at the top, fitted at the bottom. Rather opt for lacy sleeves as they can camouflage heavy arms.

You can also wear a long-sleeved jacket especially if you are getting married in the winter months.

As for neckline, plus size women with a heavy bust won’t look appealing in halter or tank style. Similarly high neckline too won’t be flattering. Plus-size brides-to-be can opt for sweetheart neckline or V-neck. However don’t choose a plunging neckline as it would make you appear heavier on the top.

StylesHaving a plus size body type doesn’t mean you can’t wear a figure-flattering gown. For that, first you need to know about your body type. For plus size brides with heavy bottom, wearing a bridal gown, in Swedish bröllopsklänningar with A-line skirt would look perfect. On the other hand, plus size apple-shaped brides look their flattering best in empire wedding dress or a ball gown.

Be sure of your likes and dislikes and don’t hesitate to tell the bridal shop assistant about it. Don’t get pressurized into buying something that you don’t like.

Make sure you don’t stress yourself on being a plus size. You are beautiful as you are. Be confident about yourself. Finding the plus size bridal gowns is not as difficult as it used to be. There are bridal shops and online stores that offer wedding gown in plus size in a wide range of styles and designs.

Choose the wedding dress that makes you look flattering and at the same time makes you feel comfortable as well. And don’t forget to wear your radiant smile on your D-day. It makes you look even more gorgeous!
