Bridal gowns for the full figure

By dena on June 11th, 2009

Proud of your curves but having a hard time fitting them? Here’s a great website, plussizebridal.com, for finding wedding gowns in larger sizes. They claim to be “the only on-line bridal store catering exclusively to the plus-size bride.” Most gowns are in-stock and can be shipped within 5 days! Even better, if you are not satisfied with the dress, you can return it within 5 days and receive a full refund or exchange. They also carry accessories, veils, dyeable shoes, lingerie, and dresses for bridesmaids, moms, and flower girls… happy shopping!

Here are some of my favorite wedding gowns for the plus-size woman:

Short bridal gowns: This satin and lace Alfred Angelo Style No: 1142W is sweet and elegant, while the chiffon Bonny Style No: 1813 turns you into a real-life goddess.

Long bridal gowns: Alfred Angelo Style No: 1148W and Style No: 1146W. I love the neckline on both of these with the pretty shoulder straps. It takes the attention away from your bust, which may work well if you are generously endowed in that area.

If you’re looking for something sleeveless, the sweetheart cut of this Alfred Angelo Style No: 1807w
is absolutely gorgeous, and the body-hugging silhouette lets you show off those curves! For something that flares, the A-line Allure Bridal Style No: AW182 will make you feel like a real princess.

Short and Long sleeves: For a slightly more modest gown, try the Aurora D’Paradiso Style No: 6811 which has a flattering V-neck and short sleeves, or Style No: 6864 with a slightly higher neckline and sheer sleeves.

Sydney’s: Love Connection is a strapless satin gown with matching beaded bolero jacket. Venus Style No: W271 has long chiffon bell sleeves that add a dramatic flair to the otherwise simple elegance.

Extra Coverage: You can choose one of six Alfred Angelo boleros to compliment any gown of your choice. There are long sleeved, short sleeved, lace and satin:
