Plus Size Considerations Plus size women look their very best on their wedding day when they find a style of gown that highlights and fits their body and frame measurements. Look for a style that slims the body. Don't worry about ordering a particular size. Order by measurements so that the dress doesn't pull or bind anywhere. When a gown takes in and forms creases, it's a sign the dress is too tight and it will make you look larger.
Princess seaming will elongate the body and lace placement will pull the eye away from trouble spots. If your bustline is an asset, by all means, play it up with a gf or V-neckline. If you have beautiful shoulder muscles, consider an off-the-shoulder gown. If you’ve got a small waistline but large sides, put on some ball gowns with a basque waistline. A note About Underwear Searching out wedding day lingerie isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity. It can make or break how your dress fits you. This present day, perhaps more than any other, calls for a properly fitted bra or complete underwear set to reduce aesthetically displeasing bulges and pinches. And the wedding day is not a good day to first wear this lingerie. As silly as it might feel, wear it around in advance, so you know before the big event whether it feels comfortable and isn’t poking you somewhere. Oh yeah, and make sure it’s pretty. After the wedding, there’s always the “wedding night! ”.
