Every woman wants to look good in her wedding gown. And most women, no matter their size, find it a challenge to find a gown that show of their shape. At least with plus size wedding dresses, designers have wised up and started creating flattering, sexy dresses for women of all sizes, so we have more choices. Still, getting the right fit is important. Here are a few things to keep in mind when picking out a plus size wedding gown that fits your shape well.
- First, you can consider having a dress made. If you go with a boutique that has wedding gowns made to order, you choose a designer and design and they will have specially made. Even if buying off-the-rack, a wedding dress can still be made to fit. Some shops that sell off-the-rack will order your size, take your measurements and make alterations when it arrives. Or you are responsible for your own alterations, if any are needed.
- Wedding gowns off the rack tend to run small in size, even plus size wedding gowns. A gown listed as a size 20 may actually better fit a woman who is a size 18. You may want to order your wedding gown one size up and have it altered to the next close size.
- It is crucial that when trying on gowns, you must wear the same type of undergarments and shoes at the fitting that you will in the dress. This is especially important for us healthy women, because we tend to wear more "body shaping" undergarments, particularly under special outfits. If try on your wedding gown in a different bra, stockings, slip, etc. than the undies you'll be wearing later, the fit and the look of our wedding dress may change on the big day-not a surprise that you want.
- Many women lose weight before wedding, especially right before with not only dieting, but just general business and nerves. If possible, try to plan for a fitting and alteration a few weeks before the wedding.
Give yourself ample time (about 6 months) to pick out and have alterations made, to make sure your plus size wedding gown fits your comfortably and beautifully on your big day.
