plus size wedding gowns size 34 image
I'm Marrie
Hello everyone! I just need to vent. I'm getting married in September and I still do not have a dress. The problem is I'm a size 22 but my bust is HUGE and for that reason I can not fit into a wedding dress. I luv my friend and she is a size 34 pants and she went and fit a dress size 26 with no problem, but she is also pear shape.
You ladies know wedding dresing run small especially up top. I can't even get a 26 sized up! I'm so stressed, I have already lost 25lbs. I work out 4-5 days a week. I know I will always be plus size "Size Sexy"! That is not the issue I luv having curves! It's just that I'm so depressed and not feeling sexy,pretty or anything.
The weight will not come off. I have even considered cancelling the wedding and going to the JOP and wear a pants suit. I've put so much money and time into this wedding and for it to fall apart because I don't have a dress is killing me.
Thanks for listening! I really just needed to vent!
IamMARE- I hear you it seems like my boobs have gotten bigger too. I think it's from doing the chest strenght training it builts mulscue(sp?)
MissLiss- Thanks your a doll!
Everyone Thanks for your ideas! I will start looking to find someone to hopefully make a gown for me.

Oh, it's a justified venting!
I'm a BBW, too, and thought for sure before I went gown shopping that I'd have to have something made, or just wear something relatively unattractive. However, it was just a matter of going into the right bridal shop at the right time I suppose - next biggest city close to where I was living, little bridal boutique. There was a lovely, very traditional gown - long sleeves, scoop neck, basque waist, cathedral train - beautiful embellishments, whole thing overwhelmed me, much more beautiful than I thought I could ever wear! It was a 24, bigger than I usually wore (just ignore the darned tags) - but the zip wouldn't zip. I started crying.
Luckily, the smart saleslady went and got the seamstress from the back who totally reassured me this was no problem at all - she could put inserts under each arm, enough so the bodice could zip comfortably. AND she did, and it was AMAZING - you could barely tell she added material, the inserts were a long v-shape tapering down from each underarm. My gown was heavy bridal satin, and the fabric for the inserts was a perfect match, with the sewing practically invisible.
The alterations cost less than $100. The gown itself was just under 800.
I wish you all the best, and hope you find something which makes you sparkle as the beautiful woman you are!

Can this Wedding Dress be to good to be true?
silvir00
I found this dress on e-bay and I am a little hesitant to buy it. I have read the reviews and they all sound good. I even Goggled the company and found good reviews. Has a anyone ever ordered from HEIPHY? I need a 32-34 plus size dress. I went to David's Bridal tried on a size 26 it was about 10 inches from closing in the back. She said i could order a size 30 and they could put a corset in the back but that's going to be $800 when all said and done. If I order this dress it has 4 inch seam allowance and my mom can let it out or take it in if it is too big. Any advice??

for the person who said it was out dated maybe i should have said I am almost 35 years old. I don't want a strapless young girls dress
Answer
First off, I understand you wanting a formal, traditional gown - I did, too, and was so worried I wouldn't find one - I needed a 26. I was lucky to find a 24 at a bridal shop, and the seamstress put in vee-shaped panels under either arm so it would zip! She did an amazing job; the gown was in heavy bridal satin, and her work was invisible.
That said, the style you have chose is very flattering - especially the basque waist! It's very similar to what mine was, and I was 28 when we got married.
Ok, two things about the dress on eBay - I think it depends on two things - if you have the time and the money to spare. The time - lots of time before the wedding to still be able to find something else in case this doesn't work out. The money - in case the purchase falls through, can you afford to just suck up loosing that amount of money.
That said, my gown was just under 800, and with alterations, tiara and veil, it was a thousand.
So if those two match your circumstances, I would go for it. You just may end up with your dream wedding dress!
I wish you luck!
