What Is the “Maggie Magic” in Your Corset Wedding Dress?

Maggie Magic means making a bride feel like her best self on her wedding day. We achieve this by offering enhanced support and shaping in the construction of your gown itself so you can look and feel flawless when you put it on without any additional shapewear.

Maggie Magic means every bride gets to feel her best on her wedding day. Most of our wedding gowns are available in US sizes 0-28 (equivalent to sizes 4-32 in other bridal brands), which allows brides of every shape and size to find their meant-to-be gown. 

For more than 25 years, we have designed beautiful, expertly crafted wedding dresses made by women for women so you can find the dress that fits your unique style and body. Many of our plus-size wedding dresses are designed especially for curves, booties, and busts.

Each style comes with specialized tailoring to support and enhance your figure. We also offer premium corsetry and built-in shapewear, as well as elongating silhouettes and flattering embellishments. Whether your dream is for a romantic, sexy, simple, bohemian, or sophisticated style, you will find it in our collections.

What Goes Into Making “Maggie Magic” Corset Wedding Dresses Happen?

Most of our strapless gowns will have some kind of inner elastic or corset unless it is sheer. For sizes 16-28, we utilize center front and princess seam boning for added support, and bra cups are graded with four different sizes:

• Small bra cups for bridal sizes 0-8
• Medium bra cups for bridal sizes 10-16
• Large bra cups for bridal sizes 18-20
• XL bra cups for sizes 22-28

Here at Maggie Sottero, we also offer different colored bra cups to match different skin tones. We have nude, medium nude, and dark nude options for brides to choose from when ordering your dress.

Here are some of the other product features that create the “Maggie Magic”:

• Built-in corsetry
• Figure-smoothing shapewear
• Bodysuits and jersey lining
• Larger boning
• Lined bodices
• Raised front and back necklines
• Multiple strap length and width options
• Diversity in silhouettes and fabrications

Celebrating All Body Shapes And Sizes

We design styles that create a perfect fit for every bride so they can feel like the best version of themselves.

Diversity in bridal is not just a phrase, it is an action. To promote our inclusive sizing and impeccable construction made for plus-size brides, we partnered with curve fashion pioneer, Liris Crosse, for Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week in 2018. As the first plus-size supermodel to win Project Runway’s modeling competition, she was able to help us forge a path toward a brighter and more inclusive future in bridal.

Starting the conversations about accessibility within the bridal space is important and Maggie is excited to lead. Through our partnerships with Models of Diversity, All Bodies, All Brides, and with one of our newest influencers, Lona, we are inspired to bring awareness and elevate brides of all backgrounds, paving the way for inclusion within our bridal communities worldwide.
