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.

    Beautiful ladies! OP I love your dress so much, where did you get it?

    Alex, I think we're dress twins!

    I'm street size 20 and tried on a 20 in store and it was fine...but it must have been stretched out and/or I gained weight because the 20 I have now won't zip. Smiley amazing

    I am proudly considered a plus size, the dress I tried on was a size 18 and it fit me perfectly! Don't ever let anyone tell you, you aren't good enough.. I was so afraid of the bridal dress shopping experience but It was not bad!

    @BoozyBaker thanks so much! Definitely not what I expected to fall in love with. Isn't that how it always works though?
