There are a wide variety of stunning plus-size bridesmaid dresses on the market to help your bridesmaids look and feel amazing on your wedding day. Whether you are looking for a formal floor-length gown or a midi dress, there is a style for you and your bridesmaids. If you are a bride looking for dresses for her bridesmaids or a bridesmaid yourself, here are 8 plus-size bridal party dresses that we love!

What to Look for in a Plus-Size Dress

When shopping for a bridesmaid dress, you want a style that highlights your best assets no matter what size you are, size 4 or size 12.

Silhouette: If you are shopping for bridesmaid dresses, find styles that will show off your shape. Something that highlights the waist and gently sweeps along the rest of your body for an appealing effect flatters every figure.

Different Fabrics to Consider: To feel comfortable all day, pick a fabric that is not too clingy. Fabrics like chiffon, beautifully drape down the body, creating a nice shape while also allowing the body to breathe. If you prefer something more form-fitting to show off curves but also don’t want something too constricting, choose velvet or crepe.

Neckline: Look for dresses that elongate the neck and torso. Some great necklines to choose from include sweetheart necklines, v-necks and scoop necklines. These three necklines will all lengthen your upper body and accentuate your bust.

Reinforcements: If you need extra support for your bust, look for dresses with either sleeves or thicker straps to help hide any bra straps. This way you will have all the support you need to feel comfortable and confident to dance the night away.

Pick a Dress That Makes You Feel Confident

Wear a dress that you feel beautiful in. Look through your closet and find the dresses you love the most. Also, look back at the pictures where you feel the best. What do all of these have in common? Maybe they hug your curves, accentuate your bust or cinch your waist. All of this information will help you find your perfect bridesmaid dress.

Make sure to look at pictures and read reviews. Try to find real-life pictures to see what it looks like. Scroll through social media to see different styles and colors on different body shapes.
