If you’re like me, you probably shop at Torrid all the time. They’ve got one of the best collections of plus size women’s fashion on the net… or anywhere else. And now they’re introducing beautiful, figure flattering wedding gowns perfectly suited to the plus size shape. While their new selection of plus size wedding gowns isn’t the biggest you’ve ever seen, each gown is beautifully flattering and perfectly suited to curvier shapes. In particular I love the Divine White Lace Halter Bridal Gown… so romantic and pretty.

They’ve also got all the bridal accessories you’ll need for your big day, including great shoes, veils, jewelry… and best of all, super sexy bridal underwear. Yeah, baby.

Not planning on being a bride anytime soon, but have about a dozen invitations to summer weddings?  Take a look at Torrid’s selection of dresses for attending a summer wedding.  Just be careful not to outshine the bride - it’s not very polite.

Evans, the UK’s leading highstreet plus size store, and the top curvy store here in Malta (in my opinion!), has just launched an elegant and unique plus size bridal wear collection to their selection of offerings.

This new bridal collection, includes several statement dresses that start at £120. Among the items available you will find a taffeta prom dress, a hand beaded and embroidered wrap dress and a silk chiffon mix and satin full length empire line dress with brooch detail. If you are looking for something a little less formal there are two piece outfits starting from £45 that include a duchess satin skirt with bustier and lace cover up, a silver jacquard pencil skirt and jacket and a beaded satin and silk chiffon angel sleeve cami top.

Commenting on the new range, Buying Director Sue Vandenberghe says: “At Evans we believe every woman should celebrate their curves. Our research showed that there was a limited size range available for most bridal wear on the highstreet and with the average size of a woman in the UK being a 16 we realised there was a demand from our customer for something special to wear on their wedding day.”

Once you have chosen the right dress it is important to complement your outfit with the right accessories. The footwear range includes a satin sling back sandal with brooch detail and a pintuck detail satin shoe and for that finishing touch there is also a beautiful range of hair accessories that includes a feather fascinator and jewelled tiara.

The new plus size bridal wear collection is available from size 14 to 32 and will be featured in 12 stores throughout the UK and online at http://www.evans.co.uk. So if you are a bride-to-be looking for the perfect dress, make sure you add Evans to your wedding wish list before you take your vows.
