Our Julietta Collection is designed exclusively for curvy brides with styles ranging from traditional to boho, and even sexy plus size wedding dresses.

What Style Wedding Dresses Look Good on Plus Size Brides?

All brides should feel beautiful and confident on their wedding day. To help with this, think about what your dream dress looks like before you go shopping. What feature do you want to highlight or conceal? Do you want to look sexy or dress more conservatively? Do you feel comfortable with a strapless style or are straps required? Knowing the answer to these questions will help you find wedding dresses that look amazing on your plus size figure! Something to keep in mind is that bridal sizing is different from traditional, ready-to-wear clothing. Wedding dresses run a size or two smaller than the clothes in your closet. A plus size bride can start at size 14, though our Julietta collection begins at size 16. When looking for wedding dresses that look good on plus size brides, A-lines are often considered one of the most flattering silhouettes of all body types. The fitted bodice nips in at the waist, cinching you in and accentuating the smallest part of your waist, where the skirt then flares out in an “A” shape. A gown like this can help hide the tummy, if this is a problem area for you, giving you an ideal silhouette. For the brides who want to show off their curves, a mermaid or fit and flare is the style for you. These figure-hugging silhouettes are closely fitted to the body with either a natural waistline or drop waist that will give the illusion of elongated proportions. Another thing to consider is fabric. If you’re looking for a flowing fabric that will elegantly drape off the body, something like tulle or chiffon would be ideal. These airy fabrics are lightweight with a floaty quality that will ensure they don’t cling to the body. If fitted is what you prefer, something like satin, crepe, or mikado may be preferable and they are stiffer and have more structure. This means that they will work almost the way shapewear does, smoothing out your silhouette for a streamlined look.
