Finding the Right Wedding Dress

A friend of mine in the US actually shared a bad experience over YM. She was looking for her wedding dress at a shop somewhere in New York and the people in a certain shop gave her the eye.. Instead of feeling good about finding her dress at that shop, she felt awful and did not pursue the purchase. Hmm.. that actually tipped me off my seat and well, I told her she should not be bothered by people's stares.. And recommended buying her wedding dress online.. Huh! Advice from someone who is also conscious of the perfect fitting, lol..

Anyway, below is what I shared with her:

1) There are many shops online. All we can actually do is do a little more research, research and more research!!!

2) Should a wedding dress require fitting, we should make mid week appointments, so there will be less crowd at certain shops. 

3) Of course, we have to call the shop, and let them know our TRUE size. It is a must to tell them what we wear, what  x dress size because most wedding dresses on display, and perhaps all wedding dresses are cut on the small side. After all, we live in a society that never believed in happy endings for BIG BEAUTIFUL Women! Besides, there is nothing worse than going into the bridal shop to try on a dress 3-4 sizes smaller. It is discouraging, albeit, frustrating!

4) It is often recommended that BIG WOMEN go for a corsetted back for a more secure feel, at the same time get a gorgeous hour glass figure.

5) Go shopping with someone who will be honest, but not brutally frank as to ruin your mood.

6) Of course, this one is applicable to all bride to be.. Don't leave such wedding preparation until the last minute. The more time intended to finding the perfect wedding dress yourself, the more relaxing it will be later on. Most importantly, have a good time and more choices in the process.. 

7) Of course, one must be prepared to travel and move around the city and beyond.. 

8) Lastly, go in with a positive attitude. Know that you are beautiful, and that your fiancé loves you. The women who sneer at you, dont know who you are. Hell, they are even  missing out for not knowing you and your good heart. Who cares if you are a size 8 or 30? It is what is inside what counts.

Most importantly, let this be your shout out:

Fat girls get married, 
and most of the time we look better than the sneering walking sticks(insects) in gowns!
