Find the curvy wedding dress style that suits your body best


Since every little detail comes together to create the wedding of your dreams, there are plenty of decisions to be made - one of them being which is the best wedding dress for my body shape. Learn about the best silhouette for you below!


Best Wedding Dress for Your Body Shape

Finding the perfect curvy wedding dress takes experimentation and openness. In our experience, the first dress brides try is rarely 'the one', and actually, you should expect to try on a few before you find the dream look. Thankfully at Confetti & Curves we have a wide variety of bridal to browse, which means you have the freedom to experiment. But before you begin browsing wedding dresses in IRL, it's a good idea to understand your body shape.


Our experts at Confetti and Curves have been helping plus size brides in Bedfordshire and beyond for countless years now, and we know the go-to wedding dress silhouettes to fit all body types.

Narrow down your search for the perfect plus size wedding dress with our body shape guide.



A-Line Wedding Dress

Anything A-line, especially an empire waist, is often the most flattering wedding dress style, and tends to offer more coverage. This is because the waist starts right under the bust line and before flowing out into an A-line shape - an ideal silhouette for almost any bride.


This very popular wedding dress shape is defined by vertical seams that flow naturally from the bust line or shoulders into a flared skirt to create one clean line.

Ball Gown Wedding Dress

A timeless ball gown wedding dress silhouette will highlight the most slender part of your body, and bring drama to your every step! Ball gowns are an excellent choice for pear-shaped brides as they show off your smaller upper half with plentiful fabric on the bottom.


No matter your body type, a ball gown will make anyone feel like a princess. But think twice if you are a petite bride, this silhouette can easily overwhelm a shorter figure.

Mermaid Wedding Dress

Desire to glide down the aisle, flaunting your curves? A mermaid bridal could be the ideal wedding dress style for you.


This sexy, slinky style hugs the silhouette from the bust through the torso. The skirt flares at, or just below the knee, creating that classic fishtail look. Best reserved for brides with an hourglass figure and plenty of confidence!
