I am looking for pics of real people in wedding dresses, engagement photos ect. I can never visualize things on my body. I am full figured on top only. I have a large bust line a smaller waist and bigger hips.
I guess I am an hourglass but with these rediculous boobs that look silly. Trying to shop for anything is a nightmare. To fit my chest I have to go to plus sizes, but then it will be too big EVERYWHERE else.
Anyone else have this problem ever?

@Little_Hedgy: well almost anybody have the perfect body, in my case, if Iget a dress than fit me good on the hips, in by bust its going to fit me extra large for sure. That is why you must find the dress than fit you the best and help your body shape, and we always need a a sewing than suits your dress to your body needs.

My good friend is shaped a lot like you. I’d show you some of her pics, she just got married last year, but she lost CRAZY weight before her wedding and it’s not reflective of what she really looks like. Sheath and fit and flare really looked good on her though. Showed off her thinner parts, ball gowns kinda made her look big all over.

That sounds exactly like me, i got measured of my dress when i was 9 months pregnant and i was 2 inches off an hourglass in my waist. Im having to have a custom made corset and dress due to my height and figure. Im 6 feet and since im nursing im a 38 I. Im kinda in the same boat though and Im trusting my designer. Once i get some pics i will post them

@Little_Hedgy: You will find all shapes here and everyone finds a dress that works for them. Keep in mind that alterations will make a big difference in a dress and just about everyone has to have some alterations. You just have to try dresses on and see what works and what you like. There are tons of photos on this link (and the link in the first post). And welcome to weddingbee! 🙂
Plus size? Show us your dress! Part II

@Little_Hedgy: OH man! It makes going to the mall almost unbearable for me! If something fits my boobs, it doesnt fit my stomach. I cant do it! Its so frustrating!!! Makes me feel so frumpy!!! I have a natural waist ball gown and I think it looks pretty good on me. Im a 32DD chest with an almost flat stomach/hourglass shape. (I’m not wearing a bra in the photo)
