Finding a plus size wedding gown down to stressful and frustrating experience for so many brides. Actually it is very doable and could be the happier experience as they know great tips on how to finding it. Here few tips that might helping you out
Tip No. 1: First Shop for a Bridal Salon. More than anything else, the staff at the salon will determine how good or bad your dress shopping experience is. Some bridal salons are built around the spirit that their purpose is to help every bride feel absolutely stunning on her wedding day, especially those women who may never have felt that way before in their lives. Unfortunately, there are also places where the staff may turn up their noses at women who do not fit the sample size. Run screaming from those bridal shops! An easy way to get a feel for a bridal salon is to call ahead for an appointment and mention that you are looking for a plus sized gown. Does the shop say, "Great, we would be happy to help you" or do they say, "Well, we only carry size 8s"?

Tip No. 2: Don't Worry About Sample Size. Some stores will have plus sized samples on hand, which is certainly helpful. They will typically be found in stores which carry a lot of off-the-rack wedding gowns, though, as those are the salons which keep size ranges in stock. While is is a great feeling to be able to try on a wedding gown which actually fits, ready-made dresses have the distinct disadvantage of being hard to change. If you are a petite woman who wears a size 20 dress, the gown which zips comfortably will also be way too long for you (all manufacturers increase the length of the bodice and skirt with each size increase). Brides who like the quality of materials and design found only in designer gowns will rarely find a store which carries a plus sized sample to try, but that is okay! A well-trained bridal consultant can help you understand how a gown will look on you when it is the proper size, regardless of how the sample fits, so try to keep an open mind.
Tip No. 3: Consider Customization. Women also come in all different shapes and sizes, and the pear shaped bride who wears a different size on top than the bottom would be better off ordering a combination size from the designer rather than trying to drastically alter the half of a ready-made dress which is the wrong size. If you have found a salon where you feel very comfortable, they will be able to assist you in making pattern and design changes that can turn a very pretty gown into an absolutely beautiful one. You might even find that you like the top of one dress and the cut of the skirt or the beadwork on another. Many designers can make special pattern changes to get you just the gown that you want.
Tip No. 4: Fit is First. Never choose a wedding gown based on style or details over how flattering the silhouette is. You will look far more beautiful in a gown which cuts a tiny waistline, gives you a gorgeous hourglass silhouette, and trims your tummy than one which is made in your favorite lace but does not give you a great shape. Always remember that a plain gown in a fantastic cut can be embellished, but if the cut is unflattering, the dress will do you no justice, no matter how exquisite the beading. Another option is to add fabulous accessories to a flattering gown that needs a little more wow. Add a dazzling set of crystal bridal jewelry, a veil with a beaded edge, and a sparkling bridal headpiece which complements your crystal jewelry - your entire look will instantly go from nice to incredible.
Tip No. 5: Be Kind to Yourself. It can be disheartening to struggle with sample gowns that do not zip or trendy styles that only look good on size 8s, but don't let it make you feel bad about yourself. After all, your fiance loves you just the way you are, so you should try to do yourself the same favor. And remember that the perfect wedding gown is out there for every bride, and you will definitely find yours!
