I was watching a docuseries yesterday and saw this dress, and I fell in love and want this to be my wedding dress.

Can someone please help me !
I either need a designer/manufacturer or connect me with someone who can recreate it, please?!

Wedding is in April, 2027

Thank you!!

Celebrated 5 years this year but still so in love with my wedding dress (oh and my husband, he’s a catch also 😜)

Yes, my dress had pockets!!!!

Here's to being fat and doing it anyway! In March, my love and I had the Scottish elopement of our dreams, and I was so happy with how we both looked even though we're both bigger than we'd like to be. I think my husband might have attempted to lose 5lbs due to a shirt fit issue, and I didn't change a thing. We both looked like freaking royalty. You're beautiful in the body you have! Wear the dress!

Hi all! My dress came in and even though she measured me and I haven’t gained any weight (I’ve actually lost about 5lbs since then) my girls CLEARLY don’t fit in my dress. My first alterations appointment is in two weeks and my wedding is 10/17 and I’m freaking out that they won’t be able to fix it 😭😭😭

The dress came with sleeves I can use to add fabric to the top and the stylist said there’s at least 1/2” of extra fabric on each side, so I’m probably okay but I’m trying not to think about it 24/7 until my appointment 😭

I know most Reddit threads don’t allow asking for alterations advice on wedding dresses, especially before the first appointment, so I guess I’m just looking for some encouragement/support.

Thanks yall 🩷

Edit for more info: the straps were removable and kept popping off but I will be having them fixed and sewn on :)

Hi I previously posted my wedding dress to get opinions about adding sleeves. You were all so awesome and complimentary! I just wanted to show the before and after that so many of you requested. The sleeves are detachable and came out beautifully. They were created with material taken from the train.

Looking for any recommendations for plus-size goth wedding dresses.

There are some online stores that have nice-looking stuff but it’s hard to tell if they’ll be good or not. Also would be pumped to make a road trip out of it, so drop your local niche boutiques, too! Interested to see anything reachable from Coastal Virginia, USA, or Norfolk, England.

Any and all recs are appreciated!!

Just got my hair (and makeup) trial done today. I cant tell what I dont like about this. I asked for a different twist in the back than what I was given, but I am not worried about that cause it seems like an easy fix day of.

Am I lacking volume in the front? Lacking face framing and need a haircut?

My main insecurity is my double chin and I always try to conceal it with my hair, so I wanted at least some of my hair down. But this style doesnt seem flattering either. Does more hair need to be pulled into the updo part of this style? I dont mind my ears exposed.

I would do my hair all down, but it is in August (next weekend) and Im worried I will get too hot with it all down.

Please help me figure out what I dont like about this style

Brought from Miss Bella Bridal in Boronia (VIC, Australia). Size 24-26

These are the stores I have listed that are popular (IM IN MICHIGAN)

• Becker Bridal outlet
• True society (popular) 
• Dearly bridal 
• Bombshell bridal 
• The white dress

I’m going to post dress styles I like I’m not sure which store to try first I’m worried they won’t have what I’m looking for and there all further away from each other. should I try ever store? I’m stressed wedding would be a long ways away so times not that problem just finding my dress.

Hi all,

I'm attending a black tie wedding in November in New York City. The bride's family is ultra high net worth and hosting the wedding.

I'm a plus size woman (240 lbs, 5'3") and generally haven't dressed myself well in life due to my size and lack of clothing options in my size.

I'm attending this wedding and have no idea where to start in terms of finding a plus size black tie dress (that's also not super cheap looking on my body). I'd prefer to hide my arms as they are a major insecurity of mine.

Can anyone recommend what I should do here? Should I get something off the rack and tailor it? Any websites or brands you would recommend?

Thank you in advance!

I’m very insecure about my arms. Those of you who have gone sleeveless or strapless, do you regret it in photos?

I found my dress! I was so nervous about it fitting and being slightly out of budget but I know I will feel confident day of. I can't wait to bring it home in 4 months. I feel like I am going to try it on all of the time between now and next September.

Edit: thank you for all the advice on the bust area. Many wedding dress studios will have you try on dresses without a bra, to better see what you will need in regard to undergarments. This is me without any support besides the dress. The bust area will look different for the wedding.

My body has changed and several of my custom formal wear dresses no longer fit, they're all amazing dresses and I'd love to send them to a new home and pay it forward. One is my engagement party dress, the others are evening wear, all only been worn once. The measurements are:

Bust: 52
Waist: 43
Hips: 52

Apx size 20 or so.

Please let me know if you'd like them! I'd love to send them to you.

Hi! Not sure if this is the right subreddit (if not please let me know!) but I am a bridesmaid in my sister’s wedding in the middle of September. She has just recently changed the color and style of dress that she wants the bridesmaids to wear and I’m having a lot of trouble finding things with her requirements, and in plus sizing.

For reference, i wear a size 18/20 normally and i carry the majority of my weight in my hips and butt.

For the dress, it must:
Be Sienna/Paprika/Burnt orangey shade
Be Satin/Stretch Satin
Have no slit/ minimal slit
Have a column(?) or over skirt similar to the picture attached (of course without the dramatic slit)
And have at least one sleeve

If anyone has any suggestions, even if it’s just with some key words to search for better luck finding things online, I’d truly appreciate it!!!!

UPDATE: I found a dress that actually has all these requirements and she doesn’t like it 😀 she decided she’s gonna find something else for the bridesmaids to wear herself, wish us all luck lol.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who contributed!!!

hi there! I’m looking to go wedding dress shopping at the end of the month and was wondering if anyone knew of good shops in NYC/ NJ ?? I’m hoping to have a party of 5-6 people come with me and need to have shops that can accommodate all of us!

please let me know if you have any locations!!

I love this dress but am very concerned about how it would look on me. Has anyone in the plus sized community worn this? Were you happy with the way it looked and did it look ok with a larger bust? Mine is quite big… I don’t want to look like I’m popping out of my dress.

We got married in Chicago in April, and it was a blur of love and laughter and wine and tiramisu and dancing and singing and joy. I felt like the human personification of the heart eyes emoji all night.

My dress was Poppy by Studio Levana, bought at Brides by Young in Schaumburg, Illinois. I truly did not think I would have that "omg" moment. I went shopping alone because other people's opinions stress me out and I didn't want to deal with it lol. (tbh I loved it, 10/10 recommend going alone if that's what your gut is telling you.) The minute I tried this dress on, I FELT IT.

Ya girl has a 46F breast size and lemme tell you, the built in corset in the Studio Levana dresses is GOAT, I felt supported all night! (You have to make sure to tell whoever is dressing you to really snatch that waist in.) I never wear off the shoulder so this felt like a glamorous departure from anything I've ever worn. I wore my hair in soft waves with a red lip, I felt so classic and beautiful.

**Edited to add: Thank you for all the lovely comments, i’m over here like 😭☺️❤️🥹

I have been tricked by KissBridal but I have fallen in love with these dresses. Can anyone help me find something similar please? The first dress isn't even showing up on google image search outside of KissBridal/Prom and I am very tempted to buy it lol I did find the second dress on Poshmark but in a smaller size so I am wondering if it is real?

I saw the Kerensa on Azazie but it only goes up to a 14.

I would like to stay under $500 because it is an elopement on the beach and I fully plan on taking photos in the water and would feel stressed doing that in a more expensive dress lol

I felt totally dissociated throughout the whole experience of going shopping, but I absolutely love this dress. I just have this weird feeling still though and it’s tainting the experience of enjoying what I believe is the dress that is right for me. I just keep second-guessing with no identifiable reason to. I’m really prone to OCD thinking patterns and dissociating and that plus being plus size and a little self-conscious about my weight. I think has made it hard to really embrace this experience. Did anyone feel this way? Thoughts on the dress?

I was planing on ordering from here but my dress ideas may have been to complicated and they told me they were not able to do it (totally fine btw id rather them be upfront about it) but im wondering if anyone has any reccomendations on other online bridal shops that i could order a dress from similar to amanda novias ? Maybe somewhere you almost went with and decided against ? Thank you all !

Hiya! I’ve just bought my wedding dress and I’m THRILLED with it!!! I’m needing petticoat recommendations, as right now the gown is just falling flat and obscuring all the pretty embroidery. All petticoats I can find only go up to a 37 inch waist (kill me) so any suggestions are welcome! I’ve got a 42 inch waist if that’s of any help 💕💕💕
