Hi all,
Really struggling with wedding dresses.... it's all a very negative experience so far.
I'm a plus size bride, and on a budget. I went to Wed2B to try on dresses last year as a trial because I generally find clothes shopping horrendous. I went alone because I didn't want anyone interfering and honestly, I've had such horrible experience in boutiques, bridal shops and high end stores as a bigger woman.
Anyway, all the dresses I liked were not in my size. Many of them didn't even come in my size. I did manage to find a dress I loved but I'm really, really hating how big I look.
I then called a local boutique to enquire if they had plus sizes in stock and basically they said size 16 was the biggest they had and most of their samples were sizes 8-12! The woman was so snide about too.
I like to dress well but I really struggle with dresses generally (big boobs, big hips, heavy middle). I hate looking fat, there's no nice way to say it. My partner is slim and really toned, and getting slimmer by the month. I hate how big I look in comparison and pictures make me cringe. and believe me I'm trying to diet and exercise!.
How the hell am I supposed to do this? The dresses for plus sized brides that I like are way out of budget, but truth is I don't want to be plus size when I get married so what do I do? I don't have long left and I've really struggled to lose weight (stress, health).
I'm sorry, I just don't know where else to go. I feel so sad. Dress shopping is supposed to be an amazing experience and all I have are negative experiences (not my first time dress shopping BTW.... did it years ago but that's another story 😅🤫)
