What is the best wedding dress (http://www.cupdress.com)style for plus sized women? I'm pear shaped and longer in the legs than in the torso. How to pick the right dress that won't make me look dumpy?Best Answer - Chosen by Asker Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I'm from Canada, so I can't give you store names, but my experience. I'm big and beautiful, too, and was worried about what I would or wouldn't find. I found the dress of my dreams at the second bridal shop I went to, and it wasn't even a big city. I had tried a lot on, but the trick was a "dropped waist" - I would never have believed it if I didn't try it on. On top, it was a wide scooped neck (I don't have much in the chest area to balance my belly) with long sleeves. The bodice and sleeves had crystals and sequins and appliques, with the same at different places in the skirt, too. (I disagree with the other post that said not to do that - it made the dress special.) So there was this dropped waist - the bodice was fitted, and this waist came to a point somewhere above my naval, then flowed into a beautiful, elegant skirt - full, but not too full. It was made of heavy bridal satin, which also helped the dress flow nicely. Had a nice long train that helped to balance me out, and the back was beautifully decorated.Hope that helps a bit. Oh, by the way, I needed a "little more room" for the fitted bodice, and their seamstress put in fabric pieces, that I couldn't even tell that they weren't original - and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. For a headpiece, I had a tiara to match the crystals on the dress, and a simple fingertip veil.From Cheap Wedding Dress (http://www.cupdress.com/)
