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.

    You all look fantastic! I can't wait to start dress shopping in the next few months!

    On the off chance they are still hanging around the thread @Spooky, @Meaghan, @FiddlinBritt, and @Mandy - Your dresses look phenomenal! Who are they by/ where are they from?

    I am a bridal 14 (street size currenlty about the same) 5"9 very "hippy" and if I dont trim the old hips down some by May.....I will not be sitting in my dress (as the store recommended I get size that fit bust and waist - although hips were 16-18) I was at my biggest point and hoped to lose from time I was at salon in Feb and wedding) sooooo my goal...trim a couple inches from HIPS or dont sit at wedding.....YIKES!! lol

    I just posted about this same thing yesterday. Just being worried about finding the dress of your dreams because of your size. I am thinking I don't want to compromise my vision because of the limited sizes. This thread gives me life! I am a young bride (20) I will be graduating soon and then comes all the planning so I wanted insight on some of things! If any of you ladies are in the Tampa area and bought your dress please let me know where! I know DB has something for every size.

    So much beautiful on this thread. You ladies -- each and every one of you -- look so lovely.

    Harleybeachbride -- I'm not seeing those hips you mentioned. You look fabulous in that gown.

    I am a size 18 and I feel absolutely beautiful in my dress. The staff at DB was so helpful and didn't make me feel like a plus size. I was able to try on 12 dresses and when I put my dress on I knew it was the one. All of you ladies look beaitiful!!!!!
