Dresses with ruching

Anything with ruching can be very forgiving, regardless of your shape or height, it also helps to add support and gives the dress more structure. That pattern brings the eyes up to the face and creates a vertical shape to the gown.

A-line Dresses

Anything A-line, especially if it has an empire waist, can be very flattering, especially if you want more coverage. Because the waist starts right under the bust line and immediately goes out into an A-line, it's an ideal silhouette for brides who want to be more discreet.

Dropped waist or mermaid wedding gowns

For a plus-size bride who wants to accentuate her shape, a dropped waist corseted gown can be very sexy because it helps to create curves. A bride might think that she doesn't have a waist, but a bodice top can carve one out. A drop waist dress also lets you have some fullness at the bottom of the gown and a flare at the bottom of the dress similar to the ever-popular mermaid silhouette. This style can also accentuate the hips in a flattering way.
