Close your eyes and imagine the perfect wedding gown for your curves: It’s supportive (of course), ultra-comfortable (duh), and matches effortlessly with your venue and season (no-brainer). It’s beautifully tailored (yay!), romantic (woot!), and embellished to perfection (yesssss). Above all, it’s made to show off the “best version of yourself,” a natural complement to your favorite features and personality (fabulous!). Need we say more? Because hey, we can definitely say more… Scroll on for perfect plus size wedding dresses from our latest collections!

What Are Plus Size Wedding Dresses?

Plus size wedding dresses refer to styles created for brides looking to show off their natural curves and lush silhouettes. These silhouettes are usually designed with supportive tailoring: premium corsetry, built-in shapewear, and extra coverage for booties, busts, and thighs. Premium wedding dress designers (like Maggie!) will usually offer curvy wedding dresses up to size 28. 

At Maggie Sottero, we design all our collections for “Maggie Magic,” AKA the perfect overlap of style, construction, and comfort for every bride. As part of our commitment to DEI and social responsibility, we’re all about creating a range of diverse and very wearable silhouettes with great details — a perfect gown for every bride’s vision, budget, and body type. All our wedding gowns are available sizes 0-28, with many styles tailored specifically for extra support, coverage, and magic that enhances your curves.

The “Maggie Magic” is also about personalization options! We’ve designed our collections for brides to curate their perfect wedding look for their body type, budget, timeline, and vision. As you explore our collections, keep an eye out for sister style variations, ordering options, accessories, pricing filters, and Quick Delivery capsules… These will help you find the perfect style for your perfect day!  

Our Favorite Dresses from Spring 2024 for Curvy Brides

Without further ado, here are curvy wedding dresses to shop from our latest collections… When you’re ready, head to an Authorized Retailer to try on styles IRL and personalize your order. 

Lace Plus Size Wedding Dresses

Love lace and floral touches? Play up your favorite gown features with lots of motifs and illusion layers — the perfect vibe for a summery (or summer-themed) celebration. Our first pick is Avalon by Maggie Sottero, a simple yet chic A-line with delicate floral lace scattered over the bodice. It’s dreamy, effortlessly romantic, and beautifully tailored to fit your curves.

A few options to personalize Avalon:

  • Add the matching veil with lace along the train. 
  • Extend the train for added drama or remove for a more casual look through special request.
  • Add covered buttons down the back for a vintage vibe.

Another gorgeous curve-hugging style is Demetria by Maggie Sottero. This relaxed sheath style features lace all over in dreamy layers of illusion and tulle… It’s like wearing a cloud made of fresh-picked blooms!

Here are ways to make this style your own:

  • Extend or shorten the train, or remove the train for a more casual look 
  • Add covered buttons down the back 
  • Also available with a fully lined bodice for more coverage
  • Add the tulle jacket accented with beaded lace, sold separately

Whimsical Curve Wedding Dresses

Next category: whimsy! If you’ve got a super feminine aesthetic, Laila by Maggie Sottero makes for a chic and playful statement. From the lush 3-D florals to the layers of organza, Laila is an ideal way to show off your curves and play up your favorite features. 

Personalize Laila with these shopping options:

  • Shorten or remove the train for a more casual look, through special request
  • Add covered buttons down the back

“Whimsical” might be a slight understatement in our next plus size wedding gown… Ruby by Rebecca Ingram is a beautiful balance of sweet, chic, and fabulous. Start with gorgeous floral lace on the tailored bodice cascading beautifully into the skirt and train. Next, consider adding the voluminous off-the-shoulder balloon sleeves. They’re a gorgeous choice for bridal pictures, and the perfect way to change up your look between ceremony and reception. 

Love the strapless silhouette without the sleeves? You might also consider adding a classic tulle veil or cape. (Dive into more accessories using our filtering page.)
