COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO PLUS-SIZE WEDDING GOWNS, VEILS and HEADPIECES
PLUS-SIZE WEDDING GOWNS
As soon as a woman gets engaged, she immediately thinks of her dress.
So much of yourself is expressed by the wedding gown you choose:
1. Are you conservative or more modern;
2. Do you go more classical or trend-setting;
3. Are you looking for simple or extravagant;
4. Are you sensible or more romantic;
5. Do you have a vision of how you want to look or are you open to possibilities.

TOP 10 Fast and Firm Rules in Selecting your Dress
Artistic Design Photography
When you're getting ready to pick out your wedding gown:
1. Take into account your body shape: Apple, Hourglass, pear, etc. A-line and empire waist gowns usually look great on the plus-size bride.
2. Stay away from anything that will add bulk to your body, for example: ruffles, heavy beadwork and large bows.
3. Color is important. White is not necessarily the most flattering to a curvy woman.
4. Be comfortable in your dress.
5. Allow as much time as possible to obtain your dress; you will need to take into account alterations, undergarments, accessories. You don't want to be doing all that at the last minute.
6. Full length is preferable to tea length or short in order to elongate your body.
7. No clingy satin. Dresses with fuller skirts are better.
8. The proper foundation garment can make or break the dress.
9. An open neckline is usually more flattering to the plus-size bride.
10. You WILL know when it's "the one".
