Brides Often Ask

What dress to wear if you have a big stomach?

Real women have curves. Some of us prefer to conceal some of these curves. For larger stomachs, it’s not too hard.

Employ the use of high-waisted cuts to get you started. This distorted the legs and torso to make them appear longer. Then, choose a trapezoidal silhouette that creates the classic hourglass figure without being too clingy in the wrong spots. Lastly, ask your designer about specific patterns or textures that direct the eyes to the right locations.

What happens if your wedding dress is too small?

As long as your dress is only 1 or 2 sizes off, your seamstress will have no trouble letting it out using the seams on either side of your torso.
There’s another question you should be asking as well; What happens if your wedding dress is too big? Many of us are guilty of wearing oversized garments in an effort to conceal our curves. This is equally unflattering to the too-small dress, which your seamstress can also help you with.

Picture an A-frame wedding gown. Imagine the lace bodice and flared skirt. Visualize all of the lace and beadwork. Picture the slim straps keeping everything in place. Doesn’t it seem like something is missing?

Adding lace sleeves is the trend we’ve been waiting for. It makes the entire wedding dress look more complete, it adds drama, sophistication, and romance. And elevates the gown to the next level.
