Custom Made Wedding Dresses in Plus Sizes

Buying a wedding dress is supposed to be one of the most exciting purchases for any woman, probably one of the only times in our lives we get to dress so lavishly, and spend so much on one outfit!

If you're a fuller figured woman this excitement has been rumoured to be tarred by snooty bridal shops with only size 8 samples. One thing guaranteed to burst your bubble and take the shine of your big day dress is being made to feel uncomfortable. These dresses were designed for curves and plus sizes look every bit as amazing on their big day as their size 8 friends.

If this scenario fills you with dread I have some good news for you. Curvety have added a wonderful selection of wedding dresses to their website - all of which are custom made to measure and very reasonably priced. There is a delivery time of 6 to 8 weeks as they are custom made, but this way they are guaranteed to fit perfectly and accentuate your curves.

As you supply the measurements it is important you get them right. Although Curvety will give you step by step instruction on how to take your measurements, if you aren't 100% sure you have them right it may be worth investing in a visit to your local tailor for a double check. check out the selection of plus size wedding dresses now - all can be made in absolutely any size, and you can even make minor alterations to fit in with your theme or style.

Wedding Dress for Curvier Figure

I love this new style by Igigi, and I think it makes the perfect wedding dress. Available in the UK from Curvety.com in sizes 16 to 36, it includes a matching shrug and will definitely flatter a fuller figure on your big day!

The Proposal

After 11 years together my partner finally proposed last week. After I had picked my jaw up from the floor, and spent numerous hours staring at my new sparkly diamond ring, my thoughts, as always, turned to fashion.

If anyone else is planning on getting married in the near future here are my first finds for the perfect plus size wedding dress.

The hot trend in wedding dresses this season seems to be shorter. Now this is a brave step for some, to shun the traditional floor length gown in favour of a mid length dress, but for me it's perfect. At only 5ft 2' I always feel more comfortable in a mid length dress which doesn't swamp me. Plus it gives me the chance to show off my legs which, as a standard apple shape, are my best feature. My favourite find so far is this shimmering halter dress, which comes with the most beautiful buckled shawl to cover upper arms.

If you prefer something more traditional then this Long beaded dress is absolutely stunning for a Spring/Summer wedding.

Both of the above styles are ideally suited to a more intimate affair but with the growing choice in formalwear in plus sizes there are many more structured gowns available. I will update you when I have a handful of favourites!

Plus size wedding dresses

If you are a size 16 plus and married you will know how difficult it is to find the perfect dress for your big day. Whilst our slimmer friends have a seemingly unlimited choice of beautiful gowns at their disposal we are often forced to make do with some flouncy number.

So for every plus size woman who wants to look stunning on their wedding day - here are some suggestions...

Look magical in this dress designed by igigi and available in the UK at Curvety.com in sizes up to a 34.

For the traditional look you could choose the chloe lace gown in ivory. This dress gives an off shoulder illusion but with bra friendly straps.

Or maybe you want to stand out from the croud with the glory lace gown - the most delicate and feminine dress I have seen.

Igigi design many fabulous wedding dresses - all of which are available in the UK by special order through Curvety.com. If they dont have the style you like available on their website call 08450 941 848 and they will be happy to order it for you for your special day.
