But before we reveal our top picks, we’ll share some tips on what to consider when shopping for plus size bridal wear. This blog also includes styling advice to help you embrace your curvaceous bridal look and feel confident on your special day.
What to Consider when Buying Plus Size Bridal Wear
When you’re trying to put together your plus size bridal look in Sydney, there are some special considerations and concerns to address as you narrow down your choices. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you’re shopping.
- Structure is your friend. When you start with a well-crafted bodice, almost anything else will work from there. Properly structured corsetry will lift and cinch in all the right spots and give you a touch of retro glamour.
- Comfort is key. A boned bodice will likely help ensure that you look your best – but it’s essential that you feel your best, as well. Try on plenty of dresses; don’t assume that because one structured dress is uncomfortable, they all will be.
- Open your mind to other colours. No rule says your wedding dress must be bright white, and in fact, white may not be the most flattering colour you could choose. From off-white to solid black – and everything in between – there are countless colour options for today’s on-trend bride.
Tips Regarding Your Curvaceous Bridal Look
Finding your dream wedding gown takes some trial and error. You don’t always fall in love with the first dress you try on – although it does happen. Here are a few tips to help you flaunt your best curvaceous bridal look in Sydney.
- Size up rather than down. If your body is proportioned such that your top is bigger than your bottom or vice versa, choose a dress that fits the larger part and then have the other section tailored down. Or, choose one of our mix-and-match two-piece dresses, ordered in the sizes that suit your unique figure.
- Look for asymmetrical details. You can elongate and slim your silhouette by choosing asymmetrical details that transition smoothly from higher to lower spots. For example, an asymmetrical hem will draw the eye down and create fullness at the bottom of the dress, a perfect balancing act for a bride who is naturally fuller on top.
- Choose a dress that reflects your personality. Above all else, you should feel fabulous in your dress. If there’s ever been a time to wear something that you love and not care what other people have to say about it, it’s your wedding day. Every style of dress comes in plus sizes, so if you have your heart set on a particular style, we say go for it.
