What sort of bridal outfit should a curvier woman wear so as not to look bigger?

i would be a size 12 uk size, so what kinda outfit should iu get for my wedding day, i have a big bottom..lol…so i need to wear something that dnt make me look massive or bigger than i am. in fact i would like to look slimmer if possible or atleast more straightline

any ideas..

and fish lenghas out the question its too tight at the bottom

any pics pleaseeee

If u're bottom-heavy then stay away from fish-tails.. and if u're broad use flowy material such as chiffon jamavar, and nets/laces/organza are a no no.

If you must wear something with embellishments, try to find an outfit that focuses it's design in the more flattering parts of your body. I would steer clear of heavy embroideries in clashing color and would rather go with clean lines and less excessive detail.

definitely make the top longer.. it'll elongate u vertically/make u look slimmer.. i feel like shorter shirts (at the waist) make ur torso look wide... but if ur not that tall, then u dont want an extremely long shirt either...

nadz - you are on the heavier side?!

ummm can't help you :(

I always imagined you to be on the slimmer side, and short hair...with a curious mind

well at least I got one thing right - a curious mind! heheheheh

What is size 12 in USA? Anybody knows?

I think a size 8 or 10.

Re: what sort of bridal outfit should a curvier woman wear so as not to look bigger

oh okay - size 8 or 10 is a little healthy but NOT that big!

I am size 4/6 (US).

I think you should wear a long top, it always accentuates if you have a nice fitting top. Bottom can be skirted garara.

Gina.......I have a fetish for fish tail/mermaid style lehngas! :) I also have a fetish for turquoise and red color combination in bridal wear. And yes........I have a fetish for fishtail/mermaid bridal lehnga in turquoise and blue. And when I have my mind set on a certain style.....there's no budging. LOL :)

I'm off topic.....back to Nadz.

Nadz...G-girl is right! Opt for a flowy lehnga as opposed to fishtail.
