Wedding dresses for the full

Lovely plump ladies, finally stop worrying about your luxurious shapes and size with several X's! Take a look at the paintings of Rubens - then ladies above average fatness were considered the ideal of beauty! True, since then this ideal has somewhat shrunk in size, but remember: men hugging you want to feel your softness and tenderness, not only in the spiritual, but also in the physical sense.

This, of course, does not mean that you can not leave the refrigerator and do nothing to get rid of those extra pounds. But diets, physical activity and other more or less harsh measures for losing weight are the subject of a separate conversation, but we will deal with the most important (after choosing a life partner) issue in the life of every woman - the choice of a wedding dress.

As a matter of fact, most girls solve this issue starting from kindergarten, but by the time they get married, they grow up - both girls, their volumes, and their choice have to be limited taking into account the peculiarities of the figure.

By the way, do not expect to lose 5 kg in a couple of weeks. Choose a dress according to your figure, so that it does not sting anywhere and does not form folds on the sides and on the stomach.

Stand in front of a mirror and take a critical (but not too much!) Look at your figure. Surely she has advantages: beautiful shoulders, lush breasts, a noticeable difference in volume between the waist and hips (hourglass type).

Many overweight girls generally have beautiful figures, only larger than they would like in size. But the critical points are the accumulation of fat on the abdomen and thighs, as well as fat rolls on the sides and back.

Based on this, our tactics will be simple. We emphasize the advantages, mask the shortcomings, and as a result we create the image of a blooming, full of life bride.

Although it is believed that the "mermaid" style is suitable only for an ideal figure, quite fat girls who have a pronounced difference in volumes between the waist and hips and have no belly can also afford it.

Remember Natasha Rostova's first ball? This is the Empire style, or Greek. A high-waisted dress visually lengthens the figure, making it slimmer. In this case, the emphasis is on the upper part - shoulders, chest, and problem areas (belly, waist, hips) remain hidden. A lacy, embroidered, richly decorated bodice and a hem that falls in beautifully draped folds or flowing waves create an unusually attractive and feminine look.

In general, the Empire style provides ample opportunities for choosing fabrics of any type:

• heavy flowing atlas;
• flowing silk;
• airy chiffon;
• lace fabric. The dress in the Greek style, made of lace, looks very elegant.

Pleated pleats look especially impressive. Vertical folds are slimming, and the play of light in them gives the image a special romance. By the way, dresses in the Greek style are considered ideal for pregnant brides - they are comfortable to wear, do not hinder movement and are much more comfortable than fitted models.

This style is characterized by a one-piece cut, accentuated (but not cut-off) waistline and a hem that gradually widens downward, which will successfully hide too wide hips (pear-shaped body type) and full legs. As a rule, the vertical seams are embossed, which gives the figure a slenderness.

The top can be anything:

• closed;
• with bare shoulders;
• with a large neckline.

It depends on your taste and body characteristics. Even with full hands, you can make a large neckline that will accentuate your breasts. If you prefer a more chaste style, then this neckline can be covered with an insert made of lace or translucent fabric, embroidered with pearls, beads, etc.

Unlike the “princess” style, beloved by all the girls, the skirt is not gathered at the waist, but flows from the top downward, gradually expanding downward. Here, both heavy fabrics, softly falling folds, and light fabrics, with the help of which a spectacular drapery is created, are appropriate.

Most overweight brides prefer long dresses that emphasize the originality and solemnity of the event. However, in recent years, short dresses have become more and more popular, especially among the owners of beautiful slender legs, which they want to demonstrate.

Naturally, a short dress does not imply a mini, which, even with long slender legs, will emphasize the fullness of the torso. We are talking about knee-length or slightly lower dresses. Short dresses with a cascading bottom look very impressive - in front of the knee, gradually lengthening and forming beautiful folds. This is a great option for the summer.

Models with a long, light train give the bride's image regal dignity, but they also create many problems, because the train actually drags along the ground and inevitably gets dirty (however, this is a problem with any long dress).

In a dress with a train, the bride needs to move very carefully, and those around her need to keep her distance so as not to accidentally step on the train, and it is unlikely that she will be able to dance in such a dress.

However, cunning fashion designers have come up with a train design for a wedding dress, in which it is made in the form of a removable bustle and is attached to the dress from the back from above or from the bottom using special loops, so that it can be assembled, thereby shortening it to the length of the dress.

Full brides should take into account that such a train significantly "burdens" the rear view and emphasizes wide hips. However, the train can be disbanded at the most significant moments (ceremony at the registry office, photo session), and then simply unfasten and remove.

This is a rather rare option, it looks very original, but it is recommended for girls with slender legs and albeit full, but a good figure. Here the emphasis is on the skirt and legs. In addition, a fluffy hem with a bottom, decorated with folds, distracts attention from overly full hips.

It is worth warning right away! Don't try to pull yourself into tight corsets to appear thinner. Remember that in a wedding dress you will have to spend the whole day, walk, sit, dance, and just breathe, and because of a corset that is too tight and pinched vessels, you can even faint, like the ladies fell in the 19th century. It is better to use shaping underwear, which will somewhat mask the fat rolls, but will not shackle you like a shell.

Who said curvy is a disadvantage? Most men are unlikely to agree with this, and in some eastern countries no one will even look at a woman weighing less than 90 kg. But we are not in the East, and because we need to, we will emphasize, and what is not necessary - to mask.

Lush breasts, voluminous hips - these are undoubtedly advantages, and it is not a sin to emphasize them with a large neckline or a smooth cut line that emphasizes the curvature of the thigh. But you can’t say anything about “lush” belly, only “big”, but with a thoughtful choice of style and cut it can be quite successfully hidden. The main principle of such a disguise is to distract attention to a beautifully decorated top or bottom of a wedding dress.

White, traditional for a wedding dress, has a lot of shades. For fat brides, dresses are more likely not snow-white, but pearl, milky, smoky, cream, ivory. However, many couturiers in their collections generally refuse the white color of the wedding dress, preferring delicate pastel tones of other colors.

If we take into account our color type when choosing everyday clothes, then why not do it with such a responsible choice as a wedding dress? There are a lot of options here:

1. For the "winter" color type, in which white skin is combined with dark hair, pure white, pale pink and silver-gray shades are suitable.
2. Swarthy brunettes will look gorgeous in a red wedding dress - such an original solution has gained considerable popularity in recent years.
3. For a gray-eyed brown-haired woman, milky shades of white, delicate greenish and plum shades are suitable, but for a redhead - white and cream.
4. Blondes with light eyes (the so-called "cold blond") are better off giving preference to white, blue and pearl gray shades.

We are not talking about jewelry (we will talk about them another time), but about decorating the wedding dress itself. The fabric itself can become a decoration. For example, a lace fabric looks so impressive that it requires a minimum of additions.

In general, couturiers usually do not skimp on decorating wedding dresses, and although wedding fashion is quite conservative, every season there is some kind of zest:

• silk embroidery;
• decoration with beads or pearls;
• sequins and rhinestones;
• ruffles and flounces;
• artificial flowers.

1. Avoid models with belts, transverse lines and cut-off at the waist: they visually divide the figure into several segments and make you look fat, but vertical lines and embossed seams, on the contrary, make you thin.
2. Thin straps accentuate full arms and shoulders, so they should be wide enough.
3. To divert attention away from the wide waist and hips, catchy trims on the bodice and neckline are used.
4. If you do not want to expose too full shoulders and arms, you can sew a dress with straight sleeves, guipure or translucent fabric, or wear over a bolero made of guipure or silk with sleeves up to the elbow or wrist.
5. If a church wedding is planned, you will need to cover your bare shoulders and a deep neckline. For this, a bolero, lace cape or luxurious shawl is suitable.
