Once you have become engaged, hunting for San Francisco CA Plus Size Wedding Dresses becomes imperative. After all, wedding preparations are never made too early. For a woman with a wider frame, finding a gown can be very difficult. You might have experienced walking into a boutique and finding very little that you could try on. How are you supposed to choose the perfect dress if you can’t try it on? We sympathize. At Flares Bridal, we will walk you through selecting the perfect gown for you, and your choices include award-winning designers.

The clothing industry has quickly become harder for plus-sized women to navigate. Designer retailers may not even stock your sizes and if they do, their options are limited. When it comes to your wedding day, you should be able to find your ideal dress despite the limitations. Flares Bridal wants to help you find something you can feel proud and beautiful in.

To assist you on your journey, we’re going to tell you about some recommended dress silhouettes and fashions that could make you into a goddess.

Neckline Styles

There are a couple of neckline styles that plus-sized women love to choose. We have suggested the best of the best here for your convenience. We want you to be able to imagine your dream gown in full-color and radiance.

Sweetheart

A sweetheart is very well suited to its name. As in the photo above, it creates a heart-shape over your chest and looks great with or without straps. The bodice is more fitted to the curve of the wearer so that you look and feel beautiful.

Bateau or Boatneck

A bateau has a higher neckline that usually sits just beneath the collarbone which sweeps across the chest and is accompanied by high straps on each side. Women who are going for a more dignified, queenly look choose this neckline often. It is very sophisticated without being overly modest and giving your lovely arms the opportunity to shine.

Halter

A halter is characterized by two sleeves that meet at the back of the neck and creates a v-neck shape. This is almost always a backless look that allows you to show off your back and shoulders without your chest being overly revealed. There is something young and playful about this look many women love.

Skirt Silhouettes

The silhouette of your skirt creates the overall look of your dress. You may want big and bold or demure and graceful. Because of this, you need to be selective with your silhouette so that you can create the most pleasing shape. Remember, your wedding photos will immortalize this gown forever.

Ballgown

A ballgown should be the first choice for the woman who wants to look like a queen. When you step out into the aisle, you will wow the crowd with this bold choice. Ballgowns are large and full skirts that fall outwards from your waistline. Combine these with any neckline or sleeve style for your ideal look.

Sheath

A sheath is meant to fall straight down and lay naturally against your body without being tight. Also, they are wonderful if you are trying to achieve a wind-swept look. Sheath gowns are highly recommended with long or relaxed sleeves and plunge or V-shaped necklines. If you are wanting something that feels light and airy, we suggest this look for your big day.

Trumpet or Flare

Do you want to feel graceful with a touch of drama and attitude? Trumpet dresses are more form-fitting on your body but flare out at the legs and feet to give you a dramatic silhouette. This is a popular choice for many women due to its signature appearance and versatility. This is one of those looks that anyone can get away with.

Choosing Gowns as a Plus-Sized Woman

Plus size is defined as anything upwards of a size 10. Unfortunately, this means that many average weight women are considered plus size in the fashion industry and have a harder time finding clothing. If you are on the larger size, you might see that your local bridal boutique doesn’t have your size at all. So what is a girl to do? You, like everyone, deserve love and beauty in your life and having the perfect wedding gown is important.  You should not have to compromise. Ultimately, your wedding is about you and your spouse, but if you don’t feel good about yourself, you may find yourself not enjoying the experience as much as you could. There is a lot of pressure for this to be perfect but as long as you and your spouse are happy, everything else will fall in line.

Furthermore, your gown has to fit. For the best fit, we always recommend that you have your gown fitted with us. At Flares Bridal, we will make sure that your gown fits you in the most flattering way. Like anyone else, you deserve the comfort of a perfect fit. After all, this is your wedding!
