Let Me See Your Dresses: Plus Size Edition

I'd love to see your plus size wedding dresses! I will be starting my dress shopping in July and I'm having a hard time finding dress inspiration online. I'd love to see some plus size dresses that aren't on models. Show me your gorgeous curves, ladies!

    You ladies all look so beautiful!

    I've been so nervous about this part of the wedding planning! I have always been around a street 8/10, and curvy, but very comfortable. Since my FH and I have been together, I have gone up to a 12/14. (we LOVE cooking and eating out and drinking good wine...great for bonding, bad for waistline). I found a place in DC (Cherry Blossom bridal, if anyone is interested) that specializes in plus size dresses (sizes 14-22) and went on my own for a silhouette apt..just me and the consultant, 45 minutes to get an idea. It was AMAZING. I feel so much better about the whole process, and just being able to put a dress fully on felt great. I made my full apt for the Fall and will go back with my mom and girls. If anyone is in the DC/MD/VA area, I highly recommend going to this store.

    I was so nervous! I put off dress shopping for as long as possible lol. I'm a size 17/18 maybe a 16 - I've lost some weight and idk at this point. I have my first fitting Tuesday and I'm still a little nervous haha. Love my dress though. It ended up being a fun experience. Good luck!

    This isn't the finale yet, I'm adding my own embroidery and adjusting the lace at the bottom because I don't like the at the bottom ends. Will have a finale pic soon! And that's my MOH..

    Dressing my body was a crazy point of stress, possibly the most stressful of all. I don't really love pictures of me in it but I felt amazing on my wedding day! It is DB size 24 and I felt amazing in it!

    You can't tell that well but it's blush! It's a tight size 22 and I'm generally an 18/20

    You ladies all look gorgeous! I'm dying over some of them and how lovely your shapes look. This thread really demonstrates how important proper tailoring is too- so much nicer imo than modern "swing" styles

    This is my Mori Lee. It's so comfortable! I'm considering shapewear because of my stomach, but I don't think it would work with the low back. Time to get back into Zumba!

    I saidYes last night! I found this one on the Discontinued rack so it was 50% off and it zipped up!! I liked the dropped waist and some bling. Minor alterations needed.
