I think that dress would be great! They make all these great undergarments to suck in where we all need to be sucked! Good luck!

Lightbulb Re: Plus size needing some help

I think that it should look great. I am also plus sized, and fell in love with a dress David's Bridal - Bridal Gowns 9T9218 Satin A-line halter with split front, beaded lace, removable modesty panel, and lace-up back. I wasn't sure how it was going to look, but because I have a larger chest, I wanted the extra support. I would suggest to go into the store and try it on. Once I tried on my dress (4 days after he popped the question) I fell in love with it right away and wanted to buy it then. Trying it on earlier also lets you now what areas to work on to look great in your dress ( I am trying to tone my arms... all else is pretty much covered.

As resting said, it is a great idea to try on the dress ahead of time so you can target the 'problem' areas. Trick: the dress look the same on everyone. The key is finding one that fits . What defines the dress is the fit nothing else. Once they have your size you will be just as stunning. Do not worry.

That dress loks beautiful. In fact, it's the dress my cousin wore at her September 22 wedding, here just recently.

She's a big girl and it looked good on her.

I'm a bigger girl than her, but I definitely don't thinkthat type of dress would look good on me, it would only accentuate my un-flattering features.

I would advise against purchasing a wedding dress online, unless you're a size 8 or under.

Bigger women really need to try on different styles to find which suits them best.

Just go to the store, I'm thinking you have one farily close to you, and try it on. You may find out that you love the dress, but hate it on you. (Which I hope doesn't happen, btw! You derserve to have your dream dress)

I checked out your dress and it is beautiful!!! It's very similar to one a friend of mine wore at her wedding (only hers was pink) and she was a size 20 at the time. She looked and felt like a princess- which was exactly what she was going for. Just find the nearest store and try it on- when you see yourself in it you will know if it's "THE DRESS" for you.

Wink Re: Plus size needing some help

This is my dress and I am also plus sized. Iknow what you are going thru. I t will be ok. I love you dress. It is the one I wanted but I couldn't afford it. So I went a step down and I went with a prom dress by Mori Lee. The dress was only $279. I think it will be gorgeous on you and I wish I could wear it
