Wedding Belles!

When it comes to wedding gowns, there's not really a lot to choose from for a woman who is "curvaceous".   But those gowns that are out there, are quite fabulous.

Here's a selection from Igigi.  Short or full length; fitted or flowing - whatever your heart desires.

Elegance

Elegante Fine Crepe Long Line Jacket - Artigiano

Too often we see pus-size clothing in styles that don't compliment the fuller figure.  Short jackets that sit on the hip for instance.  We need a fluid line that enhances the curves but allows the eye to look down the figure, rather than concentrate on the "waist-line".

Here's a lovely design.   Beautifully cut and styled.  Read the blurb from the Artigiano website.

"Elegante is the name we give to our signature fine crepe. It feels wonderfully luxurious, with great drape – almost like a double silk crepe – but has none of the stiffness associated with most formal tailoring fabrics and represents outstanding value for money. Highly recommended for smarter occasions such as weddings and christenings. Chic, collarless jacket, beautifully finished with stab-stitch detailing and a concealed button placket with mock shell buttons, two patch pockets and a centre back vent.

• Fully lined
• 100% polyester
• Lining: 100% acetate
• Length 88 cms (35”)
• Dry clean only

Sizes 8 through 24"

Here comes the bride

It's not often that we get to highlight beautiful wedding gowns for the plus sizer.  This market is however at long last receiving the focus it deserves, and even here in Australia we have a great website by the name of Plus Size Bride

Plus Size Bride Australia is a private bridal studio located in Brisbane.  With a beautiful range of styles to flatter the more curvaceous figure, their wedding gowns are available in size 14 to 28plus.  Custom order options are also available.

Visit their website and apply to be added to their mailing list.   The number of younger (and more mature women) who want to dress as brides and to have multiple choices about styles and designs, increase every day - up until now there's been a lack of bridal wear for the plus-sizer.  But not now.
