MemberHi bees!
I’m getting married in October and going wedding shopping this weekend.. If you are a similar shape as I am, please post your dresses as I’m a little afraid of what to expect.
I’m also having a destination wedding in Bermuda, so any destination wedding dresses in my size would be great as well!
I’m a street size 10-12 with pant, size M-L top, 5’3 …
Member@jmlw7: We’re pretty much the same size…here’s one of the 3 dresses I’ve chosen from DB…
I’m 5’4″, about 195, and street sized 10/12 varying on jean designer. Also, I’m a 40C in the chest(talk about hard to find cheap bras, LOL!)
FH took the pic perfectly, so you can see the back of the dress there to the left 🙂
Member5’5 168 lbs and wear a size 10/12.
this is a street 12, but went down to a 10.
this is also ‘my dress’, i did purchase this past weekend!
i have a few others i can post too if you want. let me know!
MemberHere’s mine. I found actual shopping for dresses at this size was a bit of a hassle, just because samples were often up to about an 8, and then nothing again until 18 to try on, so I had to use my imagination a fair bit.

It’s beautiful!!
Here is mine:
MemberI figured I should post myself in a few gowns as well since my dress shopping is all done 🙂 … all of these gowns were size 12, the last ended up being the winner. I was SOOOO scared going in, considering I fit into street size clothes anywhere from 8-12 depending and am a 5’3″, but the gowns were a close match in size (thought I’d have to go into 16’s or so but not the case) although no way would I fit in a size 10 zip up. Had to be corset. Wearing all white was super intimidating, but it ended up being super fun!
Also – destination gowns just werent in the cards for me – long flowy chiffon gowns were in my head, but not on my body type. The 6′ model really gave me false hope, but traditional gowns were more flattering on me.
Mon Cheri – discontinued so unsure of the style number
Pronovias Ugalde
Martina Liana 423
vera wang at david’s bridal VW351011
Alfred Angelo 867
…and the dress I said Yes to 🙂 – Maggie Sottero Lavina
Most of them had a corsetted back, but if a zipper, I couldnt go any smaller than a wedding gown size 12. All of them above were a size 12, except for the last one being a size 14 and clipped in the back because it was too big – plus I am wearing 5 inch heels
Member@jmlw7: the Pronovias Ugalde and the Maggie Sottero Lavina are my favorite on you simply beautiful! what a beautiful shape you have. which is your favorite which dress are you leaning more to?
Member@PugsandUnicorns: you look beautiful! i love your dress and shoes ; )
Member@HisNightOwl2014: Thank you so much – those were actually my very top two out of the 20+ dresses I tried on. I FINALLY decided on the Lavina and just bought the dress this past Friday! I am SOOOOOOOOOO excited, I cant wait for it to arrive!!!
Member@cheetah2b: you look beautiful, and what a fun dress! I love the detailing on it
Member@PugsandUnicorns: you look fantastic! and so tiny! Your dress is gorgeous, it looks like you just stepped out of a vintage modern magazine – I love lace!
Member@SapphireSun: so flattering! it looks really beautiful on you!
Member@jmlw7: such a beautiful dress on you! that one was my top favorite on you ; ) i love that style wedding dress its so timeless and elegant i wish i could pull that style off but iam dieting and i still have pleanty of time keep your fingers crossed for me.
Member@PugsandUnicorns: You look hot hot hot! I love your entire look (and your legs look fabulous). 🙂
Member@jmlw7: awww, thanks JM. I’m actually going through Dressilyme for a similar dress. I decided against one that’s so tight all the way to the knees, and alterations aren’t in my budget. I wanna be able to sit and stand as I please, and dance all night 🙂
