This article focuses on plus-size wedding dresses , offering detailed information on how to choose, recommended designs, and things to keep in mind when purchasing. It's packed with tips to help you attend your ceremony with confidence.

Why are plus size wedding dresses important?

The ceremony is a day to celebrate your child's growth and will become a precious memory for the parents. That's why you want to be particular about your attire. However, some people may have had the experience of having to compromise because ready-made clothes didn't fit.

Plus-size wedding dresses are not only comfortable to wear, but also flatter your figure while giving off an elegant and sophisticated impression. Enjoying fashion without straining yourself will give you peace of mind and help you face the day with a bright and cheerful mood.

How to Choose a Plus Size Wedding Dress: 5 Tips to Avoid Regrets

With so many designs available, how do you find the perfect one for you? Here are five points to help you avoid regrets.

1. Choose your size carefully! Find the right balance between roominess and fit.

When choosing a larger size, it's not just about "bigger is better." It's important to carefully check the measurements of each part, such as shoulder width, bust, waist, and hips , and find a fit that is comfortable but doesn't look sloppy .

Examples of what not to do:

・A dress that is too loose and doesn't show your body lines at all

・Dresses that are too tight around the arms or chest, making it difficult to move

OK example:

- The shoulder line is natural and the sleeve length is perfect.

- There is a moderate amount of room around the bust and waist, so there is no feeling of tightness.

・It doesn't show off your body lines too much, giving you a beautiful silhouette.

2. The impression changes depending on the material! Choose materials that suit the season and the occasion

It is also important to choose materials that match the season of the ceremony and the atmosphere of the venue.

• Spring (entrance ceremonies, etc.): Chiffon, georgette, lace, and other fabrics with a light and elegant look are recommended. They also go well with bright and pastel colors.
• Autumn/Winter (graduation ceremonies, etc.): Subdued tweed, velour, and matte fabrics are suitable. Add a touch of glamour with a jacket or corsage.
• All year round: Polyester material is wrinkle-resistant, has a neat look, and is popular because it can be worn for a long time.

3. Express your individuality with the design! A silhouette that also covers your body shape

Depending on the design, plus-size dresses can also help to cover up your body shape.

• A-line silhouette: The A-line silhouette that widens from the waist to the hem subtly covers your lower body, giving you a feminine impression.
• I-line silhouette: The straight I-line silhouette creates a vertical effect, making you look slimmer. Adding accents with necklaces and accessories is a good idea.
• Flared silhouette: A flared skirt that sways with every step adds a touch of glamour. If you choose a design with a waistline, you can also expect a slimming effect.
• Cache-coeur design: The cache-coeur design with a V-neck at the chest makes the area around the face look neat and gives the impression of a mature, feminine woman.

4. Control your impression with color! Choose elegant colors to suit the occasion

It is important to choose an elegant color that is appropriate for the ceremony.

• Navy and black: These have a calm impression and are perfect for formal occasions. Add a touch of glamour with accessories and small items.
• Beige and gray: Gives a soft and gentle impression. We recommend adding a corsage or jacket to accentuate the look.
• Pastel colors (pale pink, blue, etc.): Perfect for bright ceremonies such as entrance ceremonies. Choose elegant colors that are not too flashy.

Examples of what not to do:

- Bright colors such as fluorescent or primary colors

・Patterned items that are too casual

・A sophisticated beige A-line dress with a jacket for a neat look

OK example:

・A calm navy dress paired with a pearl necklace and corsage

5. Make a difference with accessories and small items! The importance of total coordination

Not only the dress, but also the choice of accessories such as bag, shoes, and jewelry will greatly affect the overall impression.

• Bag: A small handbag or clutch is recommended, and should be made of elegant materials such as leather or satin.
• Shoes: Pumps with a 3-5cm heel are the basic style. Colors that go well with this outfit include black, beige, and navy.
• Accessories: Choose subtle yet glamorous pieces like pearl necklaces, earrings, and corsages.
