I am so excited to share todays blog post, in todays post I am sharing some family photos. Which is rare for me, I typically keep pictures of my son off my blog and social media channels. These photos were just too beautiful not to share! I love them because I love my beautiful family, but I also love them because they are representative of so many other women with families. Plus size women are mothers to small children, they have good looking husbands and they dress up and participate in weddings. Just like women that wear a size 00-14. I could go on and on with that subject but what I really want to share today is det ails on WHERE TO FIND STYLISH BRIDESMAID DRESSES and my experience with ordering a bridesmaid dress online.
My brother recently got married, and asked me to officiate his wedding. After thinking over all the options that I could potentially wear as a wedding officiant I decided to go with a bridesmaids dress. I wanted to feel chic and sleek and have lots of options to consider, after some looking around I landed on the Anthropologie site specifically in the BHLDN section. For those not in the know thats Anthro’s wedding line(its pronounced BEE-HOLD-EN). I haven’t been in a wedding in years and the last time I was in a wedding I wasn’t totally into my plus size body like I am now. Accepting your body and loving your body is a major part of any fashion decision and really helps when you are looking for a specific type of dressy outfit.
I started looking through the BHLDN site and found so many beautiful dresses, and I knew that I wanted a post like this to exist so that when a plus size woman goes looking for “Plus size bridesmaid dress ideas” this would come up as a helpful guide with some actual photos. For inspiration with this type of dress, color ideas and representation.
When in doubt with a bridesmaid dress SIZE UP, because 9 times out of 10 you are going to have the dress altered to fit your specific body. Its so much easier to take a dress in than it is to let it out. When I ordered this dress off the BHLDN site I prioritized the color I wanted over the size and ended up getting a dress 3 sizes bigger than my usual to make sure I got the correct color. When I did have the dress tailored(by my Aunt) we talked about how bridesmaids dresses are getting easier to tailor because so many people order them online now. I had this dress taken in through the bust, shoulder and hemmed so it was a walkable length.
