Best Plus Size Wedding Dresses: Things To Know Before You Buy
What style of wedding dress is most flattering for plus size?
When it comes to choosing wedding dresses that flatter plus size, there are some styles that tend to be particularly flattering for a curvier figure.
A-line dresses offer a timeless and balanced silhouette that suits a variety of body shapes. Empire waist dresses provide a high waistline that emphasizes your narrowest parts. Ball gowns add a touch of drama and glamour, while mermaid styles gracefully accentuate your curves.

Overall, the best wedding dresses for plus size is one that makes you feel confident and comfortable as you celebrate your special day.
How can I hide my belly pooch in my wedding dress?
To comfortably and confidently address any concerns about a belly pooch in your wedding dress, consider a few tips.
Look for dress styles like A-line or empire waist, as they create a flattering and forgiving silhouette. Details like ruching, draping, or intricate beading can divert attention from the tummy areas.
Don’t forget shapewear for extra support. And ensure your dress fits like a dream – wearing the wrong size (either too big or too small!) can make you look bigger than you are.
Do sleeves on a wedding dress make you look bigger?
Many plus-size brides may prefer to wear modest plus size wedding dresses with sleeves as a way to provide coverage and feel more comfortable – especially if they want to hide larger arms or “bingo wings.”
Sleeves can offer that extra touch of elegance. Long, fitted sleeves, in particular, can provide coverage and create a slimming effect, allowing brides to feel fabulous. Cap sleeves are another fantastic option, providing just enough coverage for the shoulders and upper arms while maintaining a graceful and timeless look.
What is considered a plus size bride?
A plus-size bride is typically defined as a bride who wears a wedding dress in a size that is larger than the standard or average sizing offered by bridal designers and retailers. Many designers are becoming aware of the demand for more options for plus size bridal gowns (hurray!), and fashion-forward looks in extended size ranges are starting to become more accessible.
It’s important to note that the term “plus size” is a label used in the fashion industry to categorize clothing sizes, and it does not define a person’s beauty. Every bride is unique, and it’s essential to find a wedding dress that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and stunning, regardless of size.
