Our list of the most flattering plus-size wedding dresses

One of the most popular wedding dresses for plus-size brides, A-line bridal gowns, effortlessly complement your figure with their relaxed fit. It’s ideal for most body types, but especially as a wedding dress for brides with an apple body shape, as the A-line defines the upper body with the fitted bodice. The structured waistline then gives way to a skirt that gently flows downwards, creating an elongated effect. Consider a gown with side boning on the bodice as a wedding dress for larger busts that provide enhanced support.  

Fitted bridal dresses can hug your figure in the right places, creating a feminine silhouette. Flattering, curvy plus-size wedding dresses elegantly highlight your features and can range between tighter, more structured cuts or designs with a slightly more relaxed feel. 

Mermaid wedding gowns are a fitted cut with a more generous, relaxed shape, striking the perfect balance for plus-size and curvy brides. For those who want to highlight their feminine silhouette, a mermaid gown can provide a beautifully contoured profile, accentuating your natural shape in an elegant and flattering way. Choose a gown made with layered tulle for added volume that accentuates the stunning design.  

Another cut ideal for a curvy, flattering plus-size wedding dress are fit-and-flare bridal gowns. With a silhouette that’s more subtle than the mermaid, this design also has a fitted bodice that highlights the bride's natural waist and hips. The flare in a fit-and-flare gown begins lower, usually around the mid-thigh or knee, creating a more gradual and gentle A-line shape, providing a bit more ease and movement. Uncover our dress with an illusion V-neckline, complete with lace detailing that makes the bodice the focal point. The lace gradually transitions into a flowy tulle skirt, making our gown a versatile choice that combines the elegance of a fitted décolletage with the romance of a flared skirt. 

One of our best bridal dresses for plus-size brides with a larger bust is our array of princess bridal gowns. The princess cut is distinguished by a more structured bodice that not only provides a more streamlined supper torso, but can consist of extra side boning for enhanced support. The upper torso contrasts with a fuller skirt, highlighting the fitted waistline even further. Pick out our corset-style design that contours the bust and waist that curves into a voluminous lace-trimmed skirt for a supportive yet timeless look. 

Capture your modern style by opting for one of our short wedding dresses as a flattering bridal gown for plus-size brides. Shorter wedding dresses can create an elongated effect when you style them with nude heels or minimal accessories, allowing the design to stand out on its own. Consider our design with a fitted empire waist and chiffon skirt that gracefully flows over your midsection. Our floral appliqués along the V-neckline and around the waist further define your upper torso. For brides who prefer a simpler dress, our strapless model with a sweetheart neckline narrows at the waist for a streamlined profile and sleek look.
