The A-line silhouette is one of the most traditional, frequently requested, and purchased, dress styles. This style looks flattering on everyone!
The phrase “curvy bride” allows you to envision a beautiful bride, perfectly shaped in her dress.
There are brides who know they are in this category. Some will inquire ahead of time asking if we carry plus size wedding dresses (sizes 18 and up). WE DO!
There are also brides who are very surprised to find their size in bridal falls into plus size, due to wedding dresses running 1-2 sizes smaller than regular sizing. Let’s talk about this.
Let’s say your normal size, or “street size” as some call it, is a 14. You come in and try on a wedding dress in a size 14 and it’s not even close to zipping. This is a very real situation and has nothing to do with you not being a size 14.
You try a 16 and still no… but you have never been an 18 in anything – what is happening?!
Nothing. That is simply the way bridal sizing runs. Designers size charts are easily available to look at online and they clearly do not represent accurate sizing consistent with the times. Since that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon, it’s something to know and more importantly, not care about.
If your street size is a 20, you may be a 24 in a wedding dress.
Brides-to-be in the 18+ sizes love our plus sized selection. They are so much fun and expressive when they are in a wedding dress that makes them look and feel beautiful! If you are anxious about shopping for your dress, read on for some genuine words from our stylist Jess, to help you get started on your search:
