Hello! I get married next year and have started to think about getting ready outfits. One problem I can’t seem to find a solution for is what kind of outfit to wear morning of!! My boobs are quite large and sag, I don’t want to see this in photos but I can’t wear a bra because of the marks it would leave and be visible when I’m in my actual dress!! Any suggestions welcome!! Thanks 🥰

Where are all plus size babes getting their wedding dresses from? Struggling to find anything great

Thank you muchly

this is from the website which sells my desired wedding dress. I am usually a size 16 / 0XL / XXL, occasionally size 1X or 2X if the company sucks with their sizing (lol). This size chart recommendation is telling me to order a size 22, which is MANY sizes larger than I would normally get. Do I trust the chart or my gut (which is to order a size 18)?

Hi all! Long time Reddit lurker, first time poster. I got married on 10/24 to my best friend. I used Reddit for a lot of wedding related questions & received great advice and tips/tricks. One of my biggest questions while searching for a dress dupe of my dream wedding dress, was “Are the overseas (for me- I’m USA based) worth the risk?” I know you get what you pay for, but I wasn’t in the position to spend thousands on a dress, when the budget for our wedding alone was around 7k. I took a chance on Azazie, and they did not disappoint. I sent them my measurements, and the seller was very good at communicating with me while creating my dress. I ordered it big, because I had plans to lose 30 pounds for the wedding (which I did🥳) & my seamstress did an amazing job of taking it in. The dress itself was around $80 & the shipping was $70. Overall spent $150 for the dress, and then another $500 for alterations. Just hoping to give another bride on a budget some hope that it is possible!

Again, I know it’s a 50/50 chance on receiving what you want - I was one of the lucky ones I suppose! 🥰 posting the best pics I have as we don’t have our gallery back yet & I didn’t get many with me with out the bouquet held in front of the dress!

Looking through the listings for my size has actually made me feel so much better about being a bride in my body as it is. Seeing photos of the brides in their dresses makes me realise that I will also look that beautiful. Now I sometimes have a scroll to remind myself of that when the ozempocalypse wedding models are getting to me.

Thank you for your service, brides of still white!! 🫡

Hi everyone!

I am officially engaged!!

I am super excited - however I am already dreading dress shopping and getting photos taken…. I want to feel confident and beautiful and not just hate my wedding pictures. I have been married once before, and I hated the photos so much I sobbed for days. The photographer wasn’t the best (it was a last minute family friend who did them) but I just loathed how I looked. I have lost weight since then, but I am still a thicc bride.

What tips or wisdom do you all have to bestow to help feel better about dress searching and not being super self conscious on the day of? Especially with photographers wandering around…

This has been a lovely sub to read and look at in the run up to my wedding, so I wanted to share my wedding look in action last month x

Hi all! I'm getting married in Aug/Sept 2027 and looking to get a custom bridal dress made in Melbourne.

Would love to hear who you used, the pieces you were quoted and what your experience was like. Thank you!

(This was while we were reading our private vows)

We tied the knot! Happy with how it all came together and our guests leaned into the '20s & '30s theme. So many great memories from our day 💞

Okay so, I went to a dress boutique and I didn’t really love love anything I tried on. But I’m plus size and tall so a lot of samples were either small, huge, or too short. Well I tried on this last dress and I fell in love. It was a perfect fit! And this particular boutique has their sample sale this weekend so she offered me the sample sale price. Yall this dress is normally $2400 but I can get it for $899 🤯🤯

I say all that to say, do you guys think this is actually thee dress or am I tricking myself because of the price and the perfect fit?

Today was the first time I ever tried on wedding dresses. I was not sure what to expect at all but me and my mom went in to just look around. I’m a street size 14/16 and I had called ahead to make sure they had dresses I could try on. When we were looking they offered to let me try on some since they had no clients.
I told them my size and budget. At the very beginning, I tried on one size 20 that I actually loved and felt so confident in. It was a bit big on me but she clipped it and I could totally see how it was meant to fall. But then the stylist brought a size 10 that didn't fit at all. I explicitly told her it was way too small, but instead of bringing a bigger one, she went back and brought out two more dresses in that exact same tiny size.
I could hardly get them up my hips. I was left alone in the dressing room struggling with dresses that obviously wouldn't zip. Because I'm new to this, I didn’t know to ask for a modesty thing that clips in the back, so I just felt completely vulnerable and uncomfortable.
I kept trying to explain to her that I would feel way more comfortable trying on a dress that was too big opposed to too small, and she just kept telling me she didn’t want me to limit myself to only the big sizes and "you'll have to get it altered anyway."
Just a rant thanks if anyone has read this far. Today I realized I know nothing about the bridal world, but I'm not letting it get me down! It was still a special day out with my mom, and that very first size 20 dress proved to me that I'm going to look and feel absolutely beautiful on the big day. Next time, I’m going to find a body positive place and I think my experience will be way better.

Hi! I have my heart set on trying on Aberdeen and/or Petra by Sottero & Midgley.

It seems like it's an impossible feat so I'm turning to Reddit as a last chance ask!

Does anyone know a location within 75 miles of NE Philly that has a 16+ sample size in these gowns (or gowns similar)?

I've tried Sposabella (Feasterville-Trevose; they have a 16 Petra they can order for me to try on but it would be $100 to ship it in), Curvy Bride in NJ, and Ashley Bridal in Warminster. Brides by Young, Darianna, L&H, and David's Bridal do not carry them at all.

I have a back up dress in mind, but I'd so much like to try on these dresses, or at least something like them, before settling.

Photos for reference of the dresses I've mentioned.

Sharing links to the dresses (that I’m selling) I wore to my courthouse nuptial and my post wedding party because I had a really hard time finding these dresses as a plus size bride. I am hoping I can share some deals with some other beautiful brides. Let me know you found me on Reddit and I’ll give you a deeper discount. 🩷

Hey everyone! I'm looking for recommendations on plus size wedding gowns and where to go in Melbourne.

Ideally I want a custom made gown but I think initially I need to try some on, just to make sure what I want in my head will actually suit me! For reference I can be anywhere between size 20-26.

My wedding is in just under 11 months and currently my dress budget is no more than $5k.

Does anyone have any recommendations for:

1. Store with a large and varied range of plus size gowns to try on.

2. Where to go for a custom made gown

Thank you so much
