50 photos of wedding dresses for plus size women.

Choosing the right dress in which you will outshine your friends is not an easy task, regardless of your body type, but plus size girls can find it especially difficult to find the right style. Don't despair! The ideal of female beauty has changed dramatically over the past centuries , and the thin, tall models popular today would not have aroused any enthusiasm in the time of Rubens or in Ancient Russia. This means you can look your best with any volume, the main thing is to choose the right style, emphasizing the advantages and hiding the disadvantages.

Wedding dress – “Bride of Olympia”

The presented wedding dress model will help the happy bride create the image of a Greek goddess who has just descended from Olympus. There will be no fancy roses in the outfit. Its central decoration is a belt at the waist, embroidered with snow-white rhinestones. On top of this element is a corset with wide straps, sewn to fit. A snow-white skirt with a small train descends from the waist. The lower part of the dress gives the impression of airiness to the bride's image. A “goddess” outfit at a wedding can be completed with an elegant hairstyle in the general style. In the end, the sight of a girl getting married catches your gaze, which is very difficult to tear away.

Ideal styles for a woman's figure

Excess weight is distributed differently throughout a woman's body, so you need to take into account your body type , and also remember the common problems for plus-size girls:

voluminous belly;
rollers on the sides and back;
full hands;
cellulite.

A curvaceous figure also has its own advantages - an impressive bust and hips, which should attract attention. In addition, you personally may have beautiful legs or shoulders - they should not be hidden either. The main thing is to equalize the proportions, and then any figure will look good:

The apple body type has a very wide waist and equally large hips and bust. The Empire style is most suitable for such beauties and – provided you have slender legs – you can try on shortened models;
For “rectangles” (those with a not too pronounced waist), a corset or sheath dress will help – they will add femininity and the necessary seductive curves to the image;
“Pear” (young ladies whose chic hips exceed the volume of their bust) will suit the A-line silhouette well. He will switch attention from the too massive bottom to the beautiful neckline;
“Hourglass” is a figure with approximately the same size hips and bust with a pronounced waist. Such brides are very lucky: with shapewear they can afford many different styles, but sheath dresses and mermaid tails look especially good;
"Inverted Triangle". For young ladies whose shoulders are wider than their hips, a high-waisted silhouette that widens downward comes to the rescue. To prevent your shoulders from appearing too massive, it is better to choose a sharp V-neck and wide straps.

If you are short, you should take a closer look at dresses just below the knee. Tall brides can afford a train and vary the length of the skirt - it all depends solely on the desire and attractiveness of the legs. If you have something to brag about, why not?

For women with wide and full shoulders, it is better to choose a dress with a closed top and a sharp V-neck.
With a long neck, a high collar is also acceptable. On the contrary, if you have narrow shoulders and a short neck, we recommend taking a closer look at the boat neckline. Important! Fat brides should be careful with horizontal folds, they visually expand the figure, but diagonal and vertical lines, including contrasting color inserts, are your friends and helpers.
It’s also better to avoid a bustier dress, which simultaneously reveals your arms and shoulders, and plump ones , unless you have a slender top and imperfections have accumulated exclusively in the area of the waist and hips.

The idea of buying a dress a couple sizes too small and going on a starvation diet is dangerous. The already nervous time of organizing a celebration will require a lot of physical and moral strength from you, in addition, you may not have time to lose the required number of kilograms. Sewing a dress is much easier and cheaper than enlarging it, so we advise you to choose an outfit according to size.

No parts of the outfit should cut too much into the body. Firstly, you will be uncomfortable, but you will be in a wedding dress all day. Secondly, the fat fold over tight-fitting tissue looks extremely sloppy. It does not hide, but, on the contrary, emphasizes excess weight. Straps, if any, must also be wide.

If salon catalogs are full of extremely thin models, on which any style fits differently than on you, we advise you to pay attention to the portfolios of good wedding photographers. Among the photographs there will definitely be brides with similar proportions, and using their example it is much easier to see what suits and does not suit your body type, and then make a choice.

Wedding dress – Hollywood style

A wedding is a day when a girl is in the center of attention, and, of course, each of the ladies wants to show off incredible originality on the day of their main celebration. This one is perfect for those who want to feel like a Hollywood actress or model on their wedding day: an even, tight-fitting ivory-colored dress is densely embroidered with large stones. The high slit on the left leg and a small train at the back add incredible sexuality to the look. A lady dressed in such beauty will certainly feel like an unsurpassed and the most gorgeous bride in the world!

Wedding dress – Daughter of King Neptune

Thanks to this exquisite dress, the bride can enter the unsurpassed image of the beautiful mermaid from everyone’s favorite fairy tales and legends. The outfit fits tightly to the bride; it expands only in the skirt around the knees. The corset, the upper part of which is embroidered with “precious” stones, ends with a similar belt under the bust. It, in turn, also shimmers with the shine of luxurious rhinestones. You will also find decorations at the start of the flare of the skirt, where they are gathered into an intricate flower. A satin, elegant dress with a bias cut, despite its “narrowness”, is able to hide figure flaws. Diagonal gathers correct the figure, and the stones favorably show the advantages of every woman: waist and chest.

Preferred Fabrics

An important role in the desire to create a sophisticated silhouette is given to the fabric of an evening dress. At the same time, giving preference to dense materials that hide figure imperfections well is not always appropriate. After all, the outfit should be festive, solemn. For this reason, designers offer plus size ladies dresses made from a combination of materials.

Chiffon

Chiffon dresses are light, flowing, create a feeling of weightlessness and flirtatiously play with every movement. This is a great alternative to satin dresses, which, reflecting in the sun, fill out the silhouette. Chiffon models do not wrinkle and require minimal care. Such dresses add femininity and romance to the image.

Transparent openwork shoulder-length sleeves, short gloves made of the same material and a waist-length tulle veil will perfectly complete the image of a medieval queen.

Wedding dress – Weightless simplicity

A smooth satin dress will fit perfectly on a curvy bride's figure. Its simple and uncomplicated cut of the skirt hides any possible body imperfections, and the flowing pleating visually lengthens and slims the charming lady.

Wedding dress – “Bride in caramel”

If a woman is puzzled by the question of how to turn her wedding into a real sweet celebration, attract the gaze of every guest and give her Beloved an unforgettable holiday, the dress in the photo of wedding dresses for plus size women is just for her! A dense corset trimmed with small shavings of beads, decorated with ribbons in front and behind the product, is drowned in a fluffy skirt, which is decorated with large flowers collected from several types of fabric. Another incredible decoration of this “dessert” is its open legs and long train behind. Ultimately, the image of a “sweet” bride was created only with the help of a delicate, beige-pink outfit.

Which models are suitable for curvy brides - photos, tips

Corset, A-line and trapeze

A corset in size is a good option for curvy figures. It will allow you to slightly reduce your waist and emphasize a chic bust with a delicate shoulder line.

The main thing to remember when choosing such a dress is that you are not in the eighteenth century, and fainting at a wedding is not at all in trend. This means that you should not tighten too much - you will have to move and talk a lot, and for this it is better to feel comfortable and breathe deeply , and a visually over-tightened top does not look very nice. It is better to purchase a corset with some extra space for tightening: it will look much better.

A-line, one-piece dresses that flare out at the bottom are the best friend for girls with a pear-shaped figure. The open top draws attention to the beautiful neckline, the loose skirt emphasizes the waist and hides the stomach and hips.

It is better to choose models with sleeves or wide straps , but if you have rather graceful shoulders, you can swing at a bustier or sweetheart neckline.

Empire and Greek style

The main salvation for pregnant brides, as well as those with an “apple” figure. The gentle, romantic cut of the empire line dress, reminiscent of Natasha Rostova, will shift the emphasis to the chest and face, hiding all the extra roundness below.

The skirt can be either long, floor-length, or short, or asymmetrical, short in front and falling in soft folds at the back.

A Greek-style dress allows you to skillfully drape whatever you want to hide, so you can easily turn into a real ancient goddess. In addition, pleating will help - vertical folds stretch the figure and make it narrower and taller.

Mermaid's tail

It is believed that this style is suitable only for girls with model appearance, but this is not so. If you have an hourglass figure and are tall, then this option is quite accessible to you. The mermaid silhouette gives any bride a flair of mystery and aristocracy. In this figure-fitting dress you will look luxurious.

Advice! The extension of the skirt should start from the middle of the thigh. But you should avoid a fishtail from the knee: in this model, the hips appear much wider.

Under this model, you should wear shapewear so that no folds disturb the harmony of the silhouette. If your hips are still larger than your breasts, a push-up bra will come to the rescue.

Simple sheath dresses

One of the most classic and elegant styles, emphasizing the impeccable taste of the bride who chose it. This model is good for plump girls with a rectangle body type, but other plump girls may also like it and fit their figure.

If there are no problems with your ankles and feet, then it is better to choose a length just below the knee. This way your image will seem most proportional and harmonious.

A variety of decor is allowed in the “case”, but remember the dangers of sparkles, horizontal lines and an abundance of large accessories - all this inevitably makes you look fat.

With a train

The train is the very element of the outfit that will turn you into a real queen. It looks best on tall brides, however, short ones, if they do not have too massive hips, can afford this regal accessory. The train can be made from the same fabric as the main dress, or from a more airy one (chiffon, lace, etc.).

The main disadvantage of this style is its dependence on weather conditions. After all, the fabric will slide along the ground in any case, which means dirt, snow and dust can ruin it. In addition, those around you, and the bride herself, must watch very carefully where they are stepping, so as not to accidentally tear the delicate fabric.

Dancing with a train is also difficult, but detachable accessories in the form of a bustle will come to the rescue. In this case, you can remove the train during walks and return it to its place during the most solemn moments of the ceremony and during a photo shoot.

Lace

Curvy beauties should not choose entirely lace outfits. They visually increase volume. However, individual openwork elements will not only not spoil, but will also decorate your dress, especially if you use diagonal and vertical lines that narrow the silhouette.

It is better to choose medium-sized lace; too small or large a pattern will increase the volume. Openwork inserts look especially beautiful if you cover your back, shoulders or neckline with them.

It is worth paying attention to lace in a contrasting color - gold, red or even black. A bright accent, if there is one, will enliven any image and help distract attention from imperfections.

With sleeves

Idea! If you fundamentally do not want a dress with sleeves, then a bolero, shawl or elegant jacket will come to the rescue. These things will come in handy if you want to attend a wedding ceremony that does not allow the bride to bare her shoulders and arms.

Many young ladies prefer a sleeveless wedding dress, but this clever detail of the costume helps to correct many imperfections in the figure and looks chic.

Puffed sleeves or short wings are not the best option. They make the shoulders much wider. Straight translucent sleeves made of chiffon or lace or “bells” made of flowing fabric that widen from the shoulder are much better suited for plump beauties.

Models of dresses with long sleeves and at the same time open shoulders and a deep neckline look very gentle. This style, at the same time romantic and flirty, will distract attention from any excesses in the waist area.

Wedding dress – “Exquisite tenderness”

A light beige wedding dress will look very flattering on a woman with any figure. The tight corset somewhat modestly encircles the girl’s bust, but the interesting applique of flowers with rhinestones in each of them significantly enlivens the overall picture. Doubts about simplicity are dispelled when looking at the skirt: it is framed in tulle, embroidered with luxurious cutwork, which is crowned with the same appliqué as in the upper half of the dress. Light wedges of the skirt, delicate color, neat decorations, beautiful embroidery - all this gives the dress an unsurpassed wonderful mood.

How to highlight your look with accessories

The first thing that will help you visually make your figure slimmer is the right shoes with heels. For those who don't really want to wear heels, wedge shoes are a good alternative.

Flat shoes are contraindicated for overweight women.

Jewelry will help complete the look. But don’t go overboard when choosing accessories. It is not advisable for plump beauties to combine massive rings, bracelets and earrings in one set. A good solution is thin wrist bracelets (several pieces) and neat stud earrings. Ideal for an evening wedding dress for plus size girls, pearls. When choosing a bag, remember never to combine an evening dress with massive, voluminous items. A neat, small clutch bag is the right solution.

Wedding dress – “Luxurious”

Brides are presented with an exquisite dress that combines classics and subtle notes of pomp in the Baroque style. A satin skirt with a small train looks good on a full figure thanks to its uneven cut: its lower part is flat, and the upper part, which goes into the bodice, is sewn at an angle. Modesty and sophistication are framed by a transparent ballerina, woven from a necklace of fabric patterns.

Wedding dress – “Subtle notes of America of the 30s”

A red wedding dress will appeal to true connoisseurs of style and fashion. Covering one shoulder and going down in a train from the strap to the floor, the dress well hides any figure imperfections. The even cut of the skirt goes down to the floor in even wedges, and the overall image of the bride in the style of Fitzgerald's novels is completed with a patterned belt under the bust made of large oblong, densely embroidered stones.
