Wedding dresses do come in designer labels but when you come down to the heart of the matter, they are beautiful with or without the label. Purchasing your wedding dress at a discounted wedding boutique is no crime and can save you a bundle! When you walk into your first wedding outfit shop you will instantly see the wide variety that is being sold.

The secret that many brides to be are discovering when it comes to searching for their perfect wedding outfit is to first search online. Of course, if you are more of a traditional sort of girl, that does not mean that you can’t take your friends and mom shopping and enjoy the wedding outfit shopping experience. This can be just as enjoyable and even more memorable than shopping online. It comes down to your preference and how much time you have to find the dress you are searching for!

Curvaceous and VERY form fitting, this wedding outfit style is typically for the very confident bride. Mermaid gowns hug the body rather tightly all the way down to your knees, where the dress flares out.

Tips For Curvier Brides

  • Remember that keeping your wedding dress simple will be more flattering. Too much fuss and frill can make you appear there is more of you than there really is.
  • Beware of clingy fabrics such as chiffon and charmeuse as they highlight lumps and bumps. To avoid accentuating bulging areas, choose a substantial fabric such as shatung silk, taffeta or duchesse satin.
  • Consider a corset to help minimize your entire torso. Very supportive bras work well too, but obviously only minimize one area versus a corset which can help minimize a lot more.

Do you think there are any major tips that I missed out on?
