Wedding Gown Options For the Zaftig Bride

Larger women might feel like they're not going to be able to find a wedding gown that will make them look good on their wedding day. While it may be true that they might not look good in a mermaid style silhouette, and a midriff bodice might be a bit too extreme, there are many styles for zaftig sized ladies that will still make them look special on their wedding day.

For instance, a plus sized bride might think that she can't wear a sleeveless wedding dress, or even one with spaghetti straps. That's where accessorizing comes into play, as wedding jackets always look good with most gowns. Jackets are the perfect accessory for most styles of dresses for almost any sized bride. And they can both be lacy or silk or almost any other material and still go well with the wedding gown. Adding a touch of color will spice up any ensemble.

If you can comfortably wear one, going with a corset bodice, though not a tight one, can help bring out a nice waistline. Or you can try a drop waist, which often helps many brides look slimmer. You won't need a jacket with either of these gowns if you add sleeves, but don't do puffy sleeves; it just won't work.

If you want to move eyes away from most of your body, you definitely want to add a V-neck. Not too deep, but a little cleavage goes a long way towards altering other people's perceptions. A scoop neckline will achieve the same effect without showing as much skin.

Now let's add the silhouette into the mix. Most people would probably tell you to have a ball gown silhouette, which makes the waist look thinner and longer, but it might bring a bit too much attention to the hips. Instead, think about the princess silhouette, which also makes women look slimmer, but doesn't attempt to define the waist, and therefore looks a lot smoother overall.

We're not done with the dress just yet. Adding a nice, long train to your dress will really make it stand out. Either a court train or a chapel train, something at least 3 feet or a little longer, will give the wedding gown more elegance and a sense of regality. It won't be overstated either.

Something not recommended is too much embroidery or baubles on the dress. You don't want too many distractions going on with the dress, because it will take away from what you're hoping to do, which is impress and dazzle on your special day.
