Plus-Sized Brides: Hide Your Bulk with Empire Waist Gowns

How A Simple Red Wedding Dress Can Make Wonders

If you’re a plus-size bride, don’t go into a crash diet and desperately loose weight. Instead, be proud of what you have, but choose a red wedding dress that hides the most unflattering areas of your figure. The secret to plus-size wedding dresses is ensuring the dress fits just right; not too lose and not too tight.

Just looking lovely in red

Do’s: Choose an empire dress with skirts that start right below the bust and flow into a floor-length A-line; this kind of dress hides unwanted bulges naturally. Princess seams could also help in hiding your natural curves because it elongates your body and keep the eyes off from problem areas. Look for fabrics that offer structure, such as satin.

For plus-sized women with great bustlines, choose a dress with a sweetheart or v-neckline. Those with a small waistline complemented by a large hip should go for ball gowns with basque waistline, while those with great shoulders can go for an off-shoulder dress.

Don’ts: Keep away from tight-fitting gowns or clingy fabrics, which would both emphasize your curves that you’re trying to hide. Avoid full or gathered skirts, textured fabrics, heavy beading, a full veil and a long train as these may make you look heavier than you really are.

Best Wedding Dress Style: Dropped Waist A-line Silhouette, Empire or Ball Gown

Listen to Giorgio Armani, He Knows Best!

Giorgio Armani once said, “Accentuate your best features and disguise what you are not so happy with. Choose outfits that fit and make you look comfortable rather than those that are up-to-the-minute.” Celebrities stick to Armani’s advice and have several designers make gowns for their particular body shape, making them look “just right” for a red-carpet event.

This principle can also be used in choosing your red wedding dress. If you learn to pick the best wedding dress style for your body, you’ll be surprised at how your guests become amazed at your chosen dress, even if it’s as simple and classic as the dresses above. The fact remains that no one could pull off a red wedding dress if they don’t choose the right style suited for their bodies. You can choose a white gown, green gown or whichever color of gown you like, but as long as you insist on wearing a particular dress that wouldn’t be flattering on you, expect a wedding dress disaster.

Remember that even if you’ve found that perfect red dress and it’s available in your size, it doesn’t mean it would automatically look good on you. Once you embrace the fact that all women are created with different body shapes and you decide on a red wedding gown while keeping your body shape in mind, then prepare to wear gown on your wedding day that would be the talk of town for ages!

Is it a taboo to wear a red wedding dress? If not, why are so few wearing them. Is it against a religion? Is there a negative stigma attached to it. Red is associated to love and romance isn't it?
