What is a Plus Size Wedding Dress?
At Maggie, we design our plus size bridal gowns specifically to flatter fuller figures, accentuate curves, and prove a little extra support in necklines, backs, and corsetry. In bridal, plus size bridal dresses typically refer to a size 18 and higher, often with tailored construction and customizable ordering options. Our plus size wedding dresses come with specialized tailoring, built-in shapewear, and extra coverage and support in the bust and back, and we carry most gowns in US sizes 0 – 28 to cater to every bride — anything you could need to find your perfect silhouette.
To inspire your planning and shopping, here are curvy wedding dresses for a range of trends, themes, and aesthetics — a dream gown for every bride!
