long sleeve wedding gown?

plus size wedding gowns empire waist image

Dee

I like bell sleeves or poet sleeves. My budget is flexible. I have big upper arms so I'd like to hide them as much as possible. I have an hourglass figure and considered plus size ( I guess... according to american standards) I call myself real size (10/12)
I liked these sleeves....has anyone ever seen a dress with this kind of sleeve?

Anyway, kindly post pictures of long sleeve gown.

I like modern, classy, elegant styles. Nothing victorian, etc. A line dressed are fine, empire waist is fine. I like all styles that are sophisticated, simple yet modern.
I am in my mid twenties.

Thank you all!

Wedding dress suggestion... (plus size)?

Q. I'm a plus size bride-to-be with VERY fair skin and am having a late spring/early summer wedding. Should I avoid white? I absolutely cannot tan. Does anyone know of some flattering styles for my body type? I keep thinking a v-neck style gown would accentuate my good parts and help to round off my shoulders. Also, does anyone know of good gown designers for "realistic" sizes?

Answer
First off

Congradulations on your upcoming wedding!! You must be so excited! Late spring sounds so romantic :D!

Eitherway darling, I KNOW YOUR PAIN. Plus sized and fair! Tanning is awful. Do you find you just burn and peel back to white? It's hardly fair isn't it?

I found a site that has a lot of wonderful suggestions for us curvy ladies :) I'm much too young to think about weddings, but when I graduated highschool I wore a beautiful light satin dress with an empire waist line to hide some of my less pleasing parts. This site also recommends the v-neck for busty babes!

Unfortunatly, I don't really know many good gown designers :( but I had my grad dress custom made by a brilliant seamstress (who also happened to be my best friend's mom) and it was wonderful having a dress specifically made to MY body.

You also get the fun of picking out the fabric. A great place to look for fabrics are places like in Vancouver, Little India, should you live near one. They have the most beautiful fabrics <3.

Hope this helps at all...Best of luck on your big day!!
