Question: Advice for plus sized wedding gown shopping?

(Posted by: Christina M on 2008-01-04 18:23:18)

I'm currently a size 22...on Weight Watchers and hoping to drop a few sizes prior to my wedding, but it is time to start looking for THE DRESS. I plan to order in my current size and take it in if I do drop sizes. I've researched online and found a few dresses that I love. My concern is if the salons and shops have only sample sizes of like 10 or 12 how do I try the dresses on to find out if I love the dress on me? I'm very stressed about this and I just want to enjoy the whole experience. Looking for advice how to handle this "problem " Thanks!

Don't feel obligated to get the 'traditional white dress' with frills etc... get what suits your personality and what will make you smile when you have it on. custom made is the best way or buy one 1 size too large and get it custom fitted.
