Feeling well in your dress

Feeling confident and sexy in your wedding dress is one of the most important things on your wedding day - whatever size and shape you are.

Your wedding is the one day that you should look and feel amazing, no matter what size you are. However, for some women finding a wedding dress can be a stressful and frustrating experience. Women who do not fit the stereotypical size 10 can face many limitations when it comes to choosing styles, colours and lingerie for their wedding day. Some bridal wear designers are realising this and are expanding their range to cater for brides of all sizes.

While maintaining your sense of style is very important, there are particular ways to flatter a larger frame in a wedding dress. "Structure and boning is very important to support the bust and create a smooth silhouette. Draping is good to cover the tummy and off-the-shoulder sleeves are fantastic to make the most of great decolletage while covering the upper arms," she says.
