I'm 20 and im engaged and i wanted to know what style of dress is good for my size? im 357 lbs and im 6'0..... please help and no rude answers please......
Answer
Wear a floor-length dress with a full skirt (ball gown) or draped skirt (empire-waisted). A-line would also look nice.
As for the bodice, it can be whatever you want. It can be strapless or halter or spaghetti strap or with sleeves or whatever you want. People say that curvy women shouldn't wear anything that exposes the upper arms, but I don't think it really matters if your upper arms show or not.
Since you're so tall, I honestly don't think heels are necessary, but if you want to wear heels then go ahead!
EDIT:
There are some GORGEOUS plus size wedding dresses!!!!

can anyone find a pic of my wedding dress?
kodak_2057
I bought a dress, it is Mori Lee by Madeline Gardner from the plus size collection (Julietta) style number 3072. Anyway, I love it, but I am not a plus sized girl and I keep seeing pics of this dress and my runner up dress in magazines, but the runner up looks better because (I'm sorry!) my dress is always on the same plus sized model. When I bought it I didn't know it was a "plus size" because it isn't, it is a 10 and it is gorgeous on. Doesn't matter what collection it came from, but I am wondering if anyone else may have better luck finding a non-model pic of it since I have had none. Thanks for your help!
ps. the reason I want to find a pic is that it is still at the store, so every time I see pics of my runner up, I have doubts about my choice. But when I put it on I remember why I love this dress. I need to not have to run to the store every time :) And the only pics I have of me are crappy iphone pics where it doesn't quite fit right.
I'm looking for a pic of it on a different person than the model on the morilee website. Also, I'm not looking at other dresses, but I was looking through a bridal magazine and there were a couple of pics of my runner up and it looks better on the model then my dress does, in my opinion.
Thanks Perse and Nova_Queen... I guess I should be happy that so few people have apparently worn my dress :) I am not worried about other people thinking I am plus sized, or people having seen the dress, I am just curious to see what it looks like on other smaller girls besides me. This isn't about me being vain or looking for another dress, just curiosity... thanks for helping!
Answer
I think you have chosen a beautiful dress, I totally understand how hard it is to envision your dress when you see it on a model that is sized nothing like you.
I tried searching several ways to try to find it on a real bride and couldn't. However, I did find this dress which is similarly styled and it is on a smaller sized model. It is still a stretch of your imagination, but I think this might give you a better idea for what your dress will look like on you and a bit of a comfort level that you made the right choice:
