Lately, more and more designers have started to include in their collections wedding and bridesmaid dresses for curvy women, because they recognise the increased demand for offering options to all-size women. The plus size dresses are not present only on runways, but also in boutiques. Nowadays, curvy women have the possibility to try sample dresses in stores, before ordering them. A few years ago, they had to decide upon the model they wanted to order, without being able to try it, to see if it flatters their body shape. We have gathered our favourite models of plus-size bridesmaid dresses that suit both modern and traditional trends.

Mermaid gowns

Mermaid gowns are perfect for both bridesmaids and brides, no matter if they have a slim figure or a plus size one. This model of gown smooths out the troublesome areas of the body and it enhances the hourglass shape. It is advisable the bridesmaids to try different dresses, to see how different placements of the skirts look. Depending on the preferences of the women, these bridesmaid dresses are available in both modern and traditional styles.

V-neck dresses

Many curvy women want to show off their best asset when they attend an important event. They have the honour to accompany their best friend on her wedding day; it is the perfect opportunity, to try some dresses they would not normally have the chance to wear. It is important to choose a manufacturer specialised in plus-size bridesmaid dresses, like Azazie, to make sure that the V-neck dress offers them the support they need.

A-line gowns

If the bridesmaids have an hourglass figure, but they do not want to attract attention to their shapes, they can opt for some A-line gowns. This model of dress clings in the right places, and it hugs their curves. It is fitted across their shapes and it is the perfect choice for shorter women, because it creates the impression of an elongated body. It is advisable to opt for a long gown, because it will offer the bridesmaids an elegant look.

Lace dresses

Lace is one of the most popular fabrics for dresses, it does not matter if there are wedding gowns, special occasion dresses, or bridesmaid gowns. It was used from the oldest times, and it seems that will remain one of the hottest trends in special occasion dresses. The majority of curvy bridesmaids prefer tulle or satin dresses, but if the wedding is a traditional one, then lace is a better option. In case the bridesmaids consider a head-to-toe lace dress is too much for them, they can opt for a model that features decorative lace.
