I wanted to make this thread for the Plus Size bride that starts feeling hopeless when dress shopping. I am plus size and it was difficult to find a dress that fit, and even more a dress that I loved. I always saw the posts with pics of the dresses of future brides, and I always thought, "I will never look like that (a bride)". I want you to know you are beautiful! Embrace what you have. Be patient. Call around to find stores with curvalicuous sizes, and love yourself! You found your man, you will find your dress! Smiley smile I am a bride size 20-22.

    This was before alterations and if I'm not mistaken it was a size 18. I was hating almost everything in the trying on process and did get discouraged but then I tried this dress on. I added stuff to it to make it my own like the black lace and little buttons on the back I'll share that picture next. I don't like how it looks in this picture as its not fitted and had not been to the dry cleaner yet so it's all wrinkly.

    Here's my beauty.. I call it beauty because I have very low self esteem and this dress makes me feel amazing about myself.. I believe it's an 18 and fits me perfectly I bought it right off the rack. I can't wait for tomorrow I get to put it on one last time before I say I do!! And I definitely can't wait for my fh to see me in it ! All your dresses are amazing and each of you girls look beautiful!

    Here's my dress. I'm a street size 12, but this is a 16. I ordered from CocoMelody off of Amazon. they asked for my sizes and height, and I didn't get it altered at all. Its a little long, I should have had it hemmed, but I didn't have time by the time it came in.

    I'm about a 20. My dress was a little big. But I ordered a 22. But I'm not sure about my dress I think I'm having second thoughts

    You ladies all look stunning in your dresses! Here's mine! Street size 18, dress is a 24 but was altered down to fit better and add sleeves because I like to cover my arms. The sleeves are a jacket and dress is a sweetheart strapless. Maggie Sottero "Glenda"
