    Hey ladies!! After a long search and trying on a million different dresses I finally found THE ONE!  Maggie Sottero's Geneva. 

    But one of the worst things ever in the bridal world is being a "plus size" bride on a budget.  I am a street size 14 and I am pretty proportionately hourglass shape but trying to find a  shop that carried a variety of at the minimum a size 10 was seeming impossible. 

    So I am posting all of the dresses that I tried on for any of the ladies who are plus size and would like to see how gowns look on a real woman.

    If you have any questions about any of the gowns let me know I'd be happy to help!

    looking at the pictures above , I love number 3 the best, the others are okay but I did not do it for me. But honestly, it is more about how you feel in them as well. I remember trying on beautiful dresses but they were not me, I felt like playing dress up. 

    And you have to wonder which one you will still like to see on pictures 20 years from now.

    You're beautiful and I'm so glad that you stayed positive and cheery during the dress shopping process which is sometimes stressful for other brides :)
