Hi Ladies!

SkylasMom

Hi all! I'm new on here and thought I'd ask some help. My wedding is in October and I haven't done dress shopping yet. I'm just confused. 

Ok, let me give some background. I am actually married already. We've been married for 2 years, but didn't have a proper wedding, because I was 5 months pregnant. (I fell pregnant on the night of my engagement party. lol) Now we want to renew our vows and do the whole big wedding thing. 

The problem I have is that since having a baby, my body is horrible. I have proper hips now and quite a stomach. It's a bit depressing because I think I used to be hot! lol. My bra size is a 40DD and I just hate my whole body. I just know that I won't lose the weight and nr 2, I kinda just want to be accepted and look beautiful regardless of my shape. 

Anyway, do you guys have any suggestions of dress styles that I could maybe consider? Something that would be flattering!

TIA!

Hey there! Welcome to the board.

This is the website I used to get a better idea. It even has pictures to help you figure out what your body shape is.

Then, when you know what your body shape is, just google, "wedding dresses for ____ shape." Hope that helps! If you'll post what your body shape is, it will be easier for us to help.

Thank you!

I don't have a measurement tape with me at the moment, nut according to what they have on that site I am between an hourglass shape and a spoon shape. 

I definitely need something that will hide my stomach, like I mentioned. And also, I'm not a fan of my arms. lol. I can do strapless and just get something to wear over it like in the picture.

That one is beautiful. My best advice is to ask at the dress shop and have an open mind. You will probably pick one you never thought you would. Good luck!!

Google plus-sized wedding dress shops in your area.  Call them to make sure they have sample sizes that will fit.
