CURVY BRIDES

Today, with much pleasure, we talk about dresses and specifically those for curvy brides. Many of these women are scared at the idea of having to face this search and not find the perfect gown, as they are different from the typical girls that, by now, we are used to find on the cover of fashion magazines. But we are in the world of truth and reality where Photoshop is not envisaged. All women have some imperfections and the trick is not hiding them but enhancing them. And if you think that you will never look good like that girl in a wedding gown you are wrong! During the 50s and the 60s the slightly curvier one was the shape of the perfect woman, in fact more and more stylists are catering for curvy women since they are closer to reality compared to unlikely beauty standards imposed by modern society.

Anyway there are some minor tricks that help to slender the figure, for example it is best to go for a gathered hairdo in order not to make the figure heavy. Curvy women usually try to cover themselves as much as possible, in fact obtaining this way the opposite result: a little clumsy. That’s where the trick is: enhancing our figure instead of hiding it, showing off our femininity never sinking in vulgarity.
The dress patterns that may help a curvy bride are many and trying on more than one will be useful to find the best fitting gown for our figure. Fabric choice is extremely important: a stiffer one that does not mark the figure is perfect not just to slender, but also to enhance our femininity at its best. Particularly suitable for curvy brides’ upper body is the corset, whereas for the lower body a long skirt not excessively ample is recommended. A glossy white gown is advised against, it is better to opt for a cream or a softer white; it is also important not to go overboard with sequin or excessive overlapping of different types of fabrics. My last suggestion is to use shaping underwear and that goes not only for curvy brides, but for all those wishing to minimize some imperfections.

It’s details, little flaws to make us unique and human, so that we can love and most of all be loved. Liking ourselves is the first step for a serene life. We don’t have to be afraid to try on wedding gowns we believe are not suitable for women who are a little more shapely. The only thing that counts is feeling good in the most important dress of our life: our wedding gown for a Curvy Bride.
