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!!

I'm getting married in a couple months and have not had any luck finding a plus sized dress... anything in white or ivory is worth looking at... I like casual and formal ones too. I have looked on ebay and no luck with anything within my budget and that I like. I want to spend less than $200 but can spend up to $500.
Thanks!

I'm plus, and was lucky enough to be able to find one in a small boutique!
