I'm going to be attending a wedding on the other side of the country at the end of September. It's in a very (very!) nice hotel at the end of September. The wedding is at 2:30 with 'cocktails, dinner and formal reception to follow'.
I'm 25 years old, 5'6 and between a size 14-16. I haven't worn a dress since my high school graduation, but the bride has stated that she's excited to see me in one.
What would you recommend?

Stick with a solid color for a sleek, polished look. Plus, look for versatility! Since it's in the fall, jewel tones are really nice (e.g. emerald, ruby). Royal blue is nice, too! I love maxi dresses or gowns because they cover up the legs and show off the décolletage. Or stick with classic dresses that don't show too much cleavage and the butt cheeks, and are modest in length. Tip: If a dress doesn't go past your fingertips, it's too short!
Dress up your outfit with minimal, simple, and elegant accessories in silver, gold, or both. I would also stick to heels instead of flats.
Good luck finding the right dress!

P.S. I think it's more stressful finding a dress as a guest than it is as a bride! lol

Wedding dresses for short plus sized women?

My friend might get married soon and I was wondering what type of dress would look best for her. She is about 5'2 and is about a size 20 so she is a little bigger. She is bigger waist down has a very big bust. Im not doing this to be rude I'm just trying to find answers so she knows what to try on when we go dress shopping.
Answer
An A-line style will likely be the best, they are the most forgiving in the stomach area. Next would be a ball gown. My cousin was 5 months pregnant when she got married (she was planning the wedding before she was pregnant) and she wore an A-Line dress and you couldn't even tell she was pregnant.
I would also have her check out corset shops to help with body shapers, body shapers work great! But some are god awful uncomfortable, which is why I'm recommending a corset shop instead of buying one off the rack, they can custom make one. Yes, they cost a little more, but they fit a lot better!
I was once her size (I'm 5'0" weighed 230, my stomach was my "big" area and I have a big bust, I'm 135 now, my stomach is still my problem and I still have a big bust).
I can tell you from personal experience that she will need to be sure before she goes looking that these bridal shops will have dresses she can actually TRY ON! Many do not for plus sized women, but if you call and make an appointment they usually will try to accomodate you and have them on hand.
If you have a David's Bridal near you, I would really recommend going to them, they have a huge selection in wedding dresses for plus sized women, they have the most to choose from of any designer for that, and they are very nice. Just as an FYI: David's bridal is expensive on their alterations, you may want to find someone else for that.
I was in my brothers wedding, and when we went to get fitted for the dresses, the bride was also a plus size and they didn't "really" have dresses for us to try on that fit. Mine was a special case that I was getting fitted for a dress in Feb/March, having bariatric surgery in June and then the wedding was in October, since we knew I'd weigh less but not how much my dress was ordered a few sizes smaller than what fit for me the day of the fitting, it still had to be taken in more.
Also, formal wear is not very forgiving on sizes, they run very small. A size 20 dress in normal apparel is a 28-30 in wedding apparel. I had sticker/size shock when I figured that out.
