Plus Size Wedding Fashion Tips
To find the perfect plus size wedding dress, start shopping early so you have time to find the perfect one.
For a flattering fit look at these features:
- Plunging neckline -- brings the attention where it belongs!
- Bolero Jacket over the dress -- great if you are self conscious about your arms!
- Fabrics that cling -- avoid, avoid!
- Shiny fabrics -- They usually highlight the wrong things.
- Form fitting, but not too tight to create bulges -- Don't be afraid to accent your shape!
- Cocktail length wedding dress if you have great legs or a dress with a slit in the side -- sexy!
- Ruffles or bows -- They add bulk and you are too sophisticated for that anyway.
- Off shoulder dress -- Great to show off your lovely shoulders.
Go shopping with someone whom you know will give you an honest opinion on everything you try on.
Don't get hung up on buying a size that you're used to wearing. Wedding dress sizes are often different than sizes in regular stores. Buy a dress that is based on your measurements.
Wear the right undergarments -- You would not believe some of the great things you can buy to flatter your figure. A good bra really makes a difference. One popular slimming lingerie is called Spanx. It is a favorite with celebrities.
