Whatever wedding format is chosen, the wedding dress is the first thing that attracts the attention of guests and the groom. Therefore, it is especially important for every girl to choose the perfect dress. A girl with a non-standard figure should not be shy about choosing clothes for a celebration. With the right approach, a wedding dress will emphasize the softness of its shape and give the girl self-confidence.
Ideal styles for curvy brides
Every wedding clothing designer has long included options for plus-size brides in their line. Before going to the store, you can decide on the styles to try on and not waste time and mood trying on unsuitable dresses.
Greek
This style is sometimes called antique. The Greek style dress is characterized by a maxi length, flowing fabrics and a high waist. A long skirt made of soft fabric will visually elongate the figure without emphasizing the hips. And a high waist will take the eye away from the waistline, highlight the bust and make the look sophisticated.
There are standard models with straps or with open shoulders and an emphasis on the chest. If you don’t want to expose your neckline and arms, you can choose a dress with a lace bodice and sleeves.
A skirt in this style is rarely decorated, which does not weigh down the lower part of the girls’ figure.
Strapless Dresses
Girls with graceful and rounded shoulders can safely wear a sleeveless and strapless option. A popular model is the mermaid dress. If the proportions of the body are slightly disturbed and the tummy is visible, it can be hidden with drapery, but in other cases, the “mermaid” will emphasize the femininity of the shape and will not make the figure heavier.
If your shoulders look a little massive or you feel embarrassed to open them, a short fur coat or bolero will come to the rescue. And if you are planning a wedding, then in wedding stores you can pick up a lace cape that will replace the bolero and cover your head.
Wrap top
The scent emphasizes the waistline, and the bias line of the bodice lengthens and slims the figure. Wrap-around clothes for plus size girls are also relevant in everyday life.
Girls who want to cover their arms can choose a wrap style with tight or loose sleeves. Another option for a formal dress is a wraparound bodice with partially open shoulders.
It is better to choose a wrap skirt that is slightly flared or straight. The length can be floor-length or knee-length if the dress has closed shoulders and sleeves.
This dress will look gentle when decorated with mugs and rhinestones.
Dress with corset
The corset is associated with princesses and ballroom dancing. Girls with a plus-size figure usually have a full bust. Instead of hiding it under drapes and folds, you should choose a corset that will highlight your bust.
A fluffy and multi-layered skirt will not fit with a corset dress and will make the bride’s image massive and disproportionate. It is better to choose A-line or straight skirts made from flowing fabrics. And the maxi length will balance the figure and visually elongate it.
Medieval times are long gone, so there’s no point in tightening your corset until you lose your breath. It should gently support the figure and not impede movement, because a wedding is a long event.
Tips for choosing
Choosing a wedding dress is a long and sometimes tedious process. You should not try to visit all the wedding salons in the city in one day. It is better to distribute and visit 4-5 salons. This will allow you to make a choice with an open mind and immediately note successful or not so good options.
There are also general adviсe, which will help when trying on and choosing an outfit:
- A long dress is a classic. But tall girls can afford knee-length or asymmetrical hemlines. And for girls of short stature, it is better to choose floor-length models.
- You don't have to buy a white dress. If the bride's size is larger than L, ivory, dusty pink or bright and extravagant colors are suitable.
- It is not recommended to use long gloves, large decorative elements, a large handbag and a lush bouquet in the image.
- The best fabrics are light, translucent and without shine. Shiny fabric adds volume to the figure, so it is used in clothes to a minimum.
- It is better to avoid full crinoline skirts and multi-tiered petticoats.
- Classic stiletto pumps will complete the look and elongate your legs.
In addition to the perfect dress, the bride must create an image using hairstyle, makeup and accessories. Overweight girls are not recommended to have high hairstyles. Instead of them, Soft curls, an asymmetrical parting or a neat Hollywood-style bun are suitable.
Makeup should be done without using glitter or foundation that is too dark or light in color. It is advisable to disguise only defects on the face, add blush and highlight lips and eyes. Eyebrows should not be narrow so as not to disturb the proportions of the face.
A wedding dress should not easily fit the listed parameters. This is what the girl dreamed about for a long time and will remember all her life. It should be special and loved. Then the bride will spend the entire holiday with self-confidence, which will be noticeable to others.
