[keiko_kon]

Hi L.H.W., I wld also like to take a look at your photos! Do the gowns really look like what is being shown on the website? Pls PM me!

Also, how do you ensure that the measurements you give them will be just right for the gown they MTM for you, since you can't try it on at a proper shop?

 

[feimei]

hi prisci & keiko_kon,

u can try to email the lady, the email add give in the blog site. quite fast response. she said they actually accept design fr customer but due to high volume recently, they only accept order fr their catalog...

[seraph]

Hi!

Kindly recommend some bridal studios for plus size gals? I'm ard UK size 18 >_<

 

[xinyue]

you can try Jess Haute Couture. pkg is MTM gowns. price is reasonable but gowns are rather simple.

 

[blackcat]

Anyone has good recommendations of bridal studios with wide range of designs? The ones I saw seem to be all sleeveless! It's so hard to find a BS with gowns that have sleeves.

 

[yakieyaya]

Hi, i am quite a plus size also, perhaps you gals can try Bridal Zone. =) I got my package from there, they are able to alter gowns to fit you...

 

[koume]

Hi lazycat/FeiMei/Prisci11a,

Can I find out whether do you still have the pictures of the Elas wedding gown? I am very tempted to order...

 

[missywinnie]

[smilem]

[geravin]

Hi Serene, Blackcat &amp; all,

I'm plus bride too. Don't worry about sleeveless design. Can get designer to add sleeves. Mine turned out ok. I'm with Bridal Concept. Let me know if you are keen. There is a co-ordinator there is is quite good at choosing designs that flatter our body shape.

 

[geravin]

Smilem, I was told to cut down on carbohydrates.

Thank you

 

[binary]

hi all,

do you have any recommendation for bridal studios for plus size gals? do you have any the plus size grown pic to share?

 

[vivjass]

Hi Binary,

i took my package with the aisle bridal: http://www.the-aisle.com.sg

the website might not be fantastic but u can go there to take a look at their gown collection. their gown can alter to XL or XXL size. I was XL size when i go to their bridal show. slim down to L now. u shd go there to take a look when they have bridal show. they can let u fit into their gowns to see. but usually they pass u gowns that are a little smaller but rest assure coz the gowns can be alter. i question them abt the gowns too. and i realized i was not given larger gown coz they will drop. hahaha hope this helps.

actually most bridal studio can alter the gowns so u shdnt worry too much like me. cheer up!!!

 

[pebblex]

Hi binary,

What vivjass said is true. Most bridal studios can alter their gowns as they have allowance at the seams. Some gowns also have corset-like straps at the back to allow for even more expansion.

I tried on gowns at a few "normal" (not those known for having plus-sized gowns) bridal studios before I signed up for my package. I was a size 14/16 then and still managed to fit into many beautiful gowns. I put on a bit of weight after my PS (haha guess I'm the only bride that didn't go on a diet) and they were still able to expand the gown for me. Oh I am very tall and they were also able to lengthen the gowns by quite a lot so this goes to show how much allowance the gowns have!

 

[keiko_kon]

Hi Pebblex,

Glad to hear that you were a happy bride! Is it possible for you to share your pictures with us? I am also a uk14 now and am actually worried about my fat arms most; cos I know with a corset they can actually "tighten" your waist to make it look smaller... but for arms, no hope!

Do PM me if you are willing to share your pics!

 

[pebblex]

Hi keiko_kon,

I'm unable to share my pics as I left the CD at my own place. Am now on maternity leave and staying at my mum's place. Yes, I've moved on from being a happy bride to becoming a happy mummy. Happened to look into this thread as I still receive email updates when new messages are posted.

Although I'm unable to share my pics, you may feel free to ask me for info/advice. Oh by the way, my PS gowns were the bustier, halter and spagetti strap kind. I used a spagetti strapped wedding gown on my AD. The pics all turned out very nice. I read an article that advised not to choose off-shoulder styles as contrary to what people think, these actually draw attention to fat arms rather than help camouflage them.

 

[vivjass]

Hi pebblex,

please share ur photos with me oso. i want to take a look for my wedding gowns too... Yupz totally agree with keiko, off shoulder will make arms look bigger... i realised why most wedding gowns are tube coz they actually make brides looks thinner... i thinking of going for halter neck too... haven't choose my gown yet.... wana slim down before my photoshoot.

 

[pebblex]

Hi vivjass,

I just told keiko (see my previous post just above yours) that regretfully, i'm unable to share my pics as they're not with me. However, please feel free to ask if you need info/advice.

Although I'm unable to share my pics, you may feel free to ask me for info/advice.

My PS gowns were the bustier, halter and spagetti strap kind. I used a spagetti strapped wedding gown on my AD. The pics all turned out very nice so don't worry so much. If you've got broad shoulders like I do, they'll even work to your advantage as somehow you'll be able to "carry" the gowns well.

 

[laughingcow]

Hi LHW, do you mind sending me a pic of your gown please?

Email [email protected]

Many thanks!

 

[feliciatan]

Hi aLL..

I'm oso a PLUS sized btb..
been to a few BS,eg My dream Wedding, Bridal Concept, Rico-a-Mona &amp; Di Gio Bridal...

I think my size is UK 20(waist 45? UK 20 correct?) haha..

My Dream Wedding-Their gown I feel was reallie so-so, though some of the comments said that their gown is nice and i feels tt the package is a little steep..

Bridal Concept - Great Service &amp; veri experience, gown and comments all is not bad, but i feels tt the gown is more for slim girl...

Di Gio &amp; Rico-a-Mona - they are sister company. Di Gio got a very huge collection of gown. from slim to plus sized.. I try the gown till dunno which one to use on my actual day and their pricing is real competitive with the others.. I was being served by Elson(Make up Artist) &amp; May, and they are great, they listen and is veri helpful and most impt is that they are veri experience... Digio webbie- www.digiobridal.com

 

[binary]

vivjass: sorry for MIA for quite sometime..
thks for the reco on TA.. think i will look out for their wedding show.. when is ur AD? have you taken ur PS already?

pebblex : sorry for MIA for quite sometime..
Congrat on yuor new born!! which BS were u with? point noted.. i really hve intention to choose one with off shoulder strap.. haha..

will halter neck make us have a broader shoulder?

yaya: can you share with us your PS with Bridal Zone? when is your AD?

geravin: can you share with us your PS with Bridal Concept? when is your AD?

Felicia Tan: so which BS have you shortlisted or have you sign up with? when is your AD?

my email: evelyn2501[AT]gmail.com

 

[feliciatan]

Hi Binary,

I have signed up with DiGio, I feels that their gown is veri nice. The service from the staff Elson &amp; May is not bad too, but personally I feels that Elson is more friendly and I trust his taste as all the gown he let me try reallie suits me. Most important is that they got gown which i can fit in(I am UK 20).. =)

 

[pebblex]

binary: Thanks... Guess you have been busy with wedding prep. I was with Signoria Nuziale. Also tried on gowns at Jazreel Low Bridal and Bliss Bridal before I decided on my package. Halter neck gowns may highlight broad shoulders but they may also bring out sloping shoulders. Suggest you try out different styles before you select those that you want to use. At times, a gown may look weird or "not you" at a glance but you'll find that it looks good after trying it on so keep your mind open and try on as many as you can manage to (it gets tiring after awhile cos the gowns are heavy).

 

[binary]

Felicia &amp; Pebblex,

Thanks for sharing..

Do you mind sharing your photo with me, or add me to your FB to view ur photo?
