Abiti da sposa taglie forti: è facile essere belli

Features of a plus size wedding dress

The main task of a wedding dress is to profitably present the beauty of a woman's figure, so that on such an important day the bride feels herself the most beautiful. This principle should be followed when choosing casual clothes, but unlike things that are worn every day, a wedding dress should 100% cope with this task, since it won’t be possible to make an unforgettable impression on the groom and guests for the second time.
It should be understood that there is no universal ideal style that would look equally good on girls with a lush bust, wide hips or other features of the figure. Each silhouette suits a different cut and in any style there are both winning dress models and absolutely unsuccessful ones.
When looking for the perfect plus size wedding dress, Pollardi recommends five simple guidelines:
1. Adequately approach the choice of size
This advice may seem rather commonplace, but the wrong size is one of the most common problems among brides who are chasing the idea of looking much slimmer than they are. Choosing the wrong size of the dress can only worsen the situation. A tight dress will treacherously dig into the body, which will form ugly folds hanging down in the back and in front. A dress that fits perfectly to the figure, on the contrary, will create a harmonious look and better emphasize the charms of curvaceous forms.
2. Do not neglect a corset and a fluffy skirt
A quality corset may work incredible miracles. It can perfectly slim the waist and make proportions more graceful. In turn, the skirt expanding from the waistline will hide wide hips. Girls with a lush bust and broad shoulders can balance the upper part with a fluffy skirt.
3. Choose the neckline properly
The neckline of the dress is extremely important when focusing on the bust. The V-neck can visually lengthen the neck and even narrow the waist, while the heart-shaped neckline draws attention to the lush bust. It is better not to choose a boat neckline for ladies with wide shoulders, as it can make them even wider.
4. Pay attention to the Empire style
An Empire style wedding dress with a slightly raised waistline and a skirt falling in soft waves, incredibly stretches the figure and helps to hide the tummy.
5. Find the proper type of fabric
The fabric from which a plus size wedding dress will be sewn is extremely important for a harmonious result. Lightweight fabric such as organza or chiffon can lighten the look. Properly chosen lace pattern can also be an assistant in body shaping. Multi-layered tulle adds lushness if a princess style dress is chosen.
 

Let’s determine the body shape for choosing the proper style of a plus size wedding dress

Laying out all the cards on the table, we can confidently state that there are no such concepts as thinness or plumpness in professional fashion terminology. Without any doubt, size plays a big role, however, when looking for a wedding dress for a plus size figure, it is much more important to start from the body shape.
We will talk in general about the differences between each type of female figure. If you obviously have one of the options described, follow the advice of the best Pollardi specialists who will help you to choose a plus size wedding dress that perfectly fits your body. If you cannot exactly determine which body shape you have, we recommend you to contact a wedding store or an experienced stylist for help.
 

Plus size wedding dress for the Apple body shape

This body constitution is characterized by roundness in the upper part of the body, namely in the area from the neck to the hips. That is why it was called the apple. Ladies with such shapes cannot always boast of a pronounced waist, but they often have beautiful slender and long legs. Based on this feature, we can say that the princess silhouette is absolutely not suitable for such brides. This style, due to lushness and high waistline can visually reduce growth, making the figure even more plump and disproportionate.
If the bride is not afraid of experiments, she should pay attention to a short wedding dress, which focuses on the beauty of the legs. A-line models and Greek style dresses which due to the fabric falling from the bust will also look good, since they hide the imperfections of the waist.
 

Plus size wedding dress for the Pear body shape

Beauties with rounded hips should understand, this is your incredibly attractive highlight that emphasizes femininity and health.

The owners of such appetizing forms are lucky, because they can try on almost all styles, if taking into account all the details of the silhouette.
You should only try to avoid dresses with a straight cut, because such models of wedding dresses are suitable for girls with more ideal body proportions. For a pear girl who can boast of a thin waist, a princess style dress is ideal. A semi-tight mermaid silhouette will look no less impressive, which focuses on the seductive buttocks. You can also find a beautiful A-line model that balances the body proportions.

Plus size wedding dress for the Triangle body shape

Not only skinny women have body proportions called triangle. Often, wide protruding shoulders become a snag for curvaceous brides. At the same time, their waist, hips and legs look very graceful and proportional. Models with open shoulders and a deep neckline emphasize the massive top, so it is better to refuse such options. It is also worth to carefully approach fish styles, straight cut and dresses with a sleeveless bodice or without straps.
Dresses with a fluffy airy skirt, short wedding dresses, A-line will look more harmonious. Excessive shoulders can be corrected by a well-chosen sleeve, which can be either voluminous, short or long, as well as a neckline cut.
