I'm a plus size bride-to-be with VERY fair skin and am having a late spring/early summer wedding. Should I avoid white? I absolutely cannot tan. Does anyone know of some flattering styles for my body type? I keep thinking a v-neck style gown would accentuate my good parts and help to round off my shoulders. Also, does anyone know of good gown designers for "realistic" sizes?

First off
Congradulations on your upcoming wedding!! You must be so excited! Late spring sounds so romantic :D!
Eitherway darling, I KNOW YOUR PAIN. Plus sized and fair! Tanning is awful. Do you find you just burn and peel back to white? It's hardly fair isn't it?
I found a site that has a lot of wonderful suggestions for us curvy ladies :) I'm much too young to think about weddings, but when I graduated highschool I wore a beautiful light satin dress with an empire waist line to hide some of my less pleasing parts. This site also recommends the v-neck for busty babes!

Unfortunatly, I don't really know many good gown designers :( but I had my grad dress custom made by a brilliant seamstress (who also happened to be my best friend's mom) and it was wonderful having a dress specifically made to MY body.
You also get the fun of picking out the fabric. A great place to look for fabrics are places like in Vancouver, Little India, should you live near one. They have the most beautiful fabrics <3.
Hope this helps at all...Best of luck on your big day!!

I've seen so many brides wear the gowns from IGIGI http://www.igigi.com
I have a couple of their gowns, dresses, pants... you name it. I love their site... their clothes are very flattering.
Good luck in finding that dress... hope you can find it.

i'd wear white. i am very pale, and didnt turn out bad. stay away from strapless...you probably know that. Vnecks fit bigger busts better (36DDD here)...other stlys have to be let out for bigger boobies usually. a higher waist helps too. I went to David's. They carry sizes up to the 30s or 40s

No don;t go with the v neck style... get something with extra material around the stomach part.... it will help hide some of it.

all you have to do is go into a bridal shop and they will answer all those questions. or you could have it made specillay tailored privately but that costs more.
my advice is to stick with the experts and make that special day just perfect for you!!
good luck =)

whenever I got married I was 7mo preg. w/my son. I wore an empire waist off white wedding dress. You could barely tell I was preg. I loved it. It is for sell if you are interested or if anyone knows of anyone who is interested!
