Strapless Wedding Gowns
I know. I know. Strapless gowns are all the rage. But if you're carrying a few extra pounds, please think long and hard before you buy that strapless gown. Last week I caught a rerun of an episode of "Say Yes to the Dress." The bride thought she looked delicious in a strapless gown, and none of her friends were kind enough to tell her that fat had blooped out all over the top of that dress.
I think this article says it best: http://articles.sfgate.com/2006-06-18/living/17299832_1_gown-strapless-dress
I know the trend is to look sexy in your bridal gown rather than virginal, and if you are thin as a rail this style dress may work for you. Maybe I'm ultra sensitive to what looks good on plus sized women (see my other blog at http://plussizeoptions.blogspot.com/), but I find it hard to believe that these curvy ladies think they look good in strapless bridal gowns. If you are helping a curvy bride choose a gown, please be honest about what looks good and what doesn't!
