If you’re looking to buy discount plus size wedding dresses, most people think they have to buy a second hand dress online from places like eBay or at a high end second hand retail store.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Have you ever seen a dress you absolutely adored and when you came back to the store to buy it, it was gone or sold out or discontinued and you couldn’t get it?

Ever wonder what happens to them so fast? Well for one reason or another, end of season or stock turn over, many retailers return those new items to their wholesaler in exchange for the newest stock of the season or “new arrivals” as they’re called.

That perfect plus size wedding dress might only have been on display for a few short weeks and “bingo” – off it goes!

What happens to them then? Well, most wholesalers will have a special super huge discount sale – annually, semi-annually or seasonally to other retailers. Some will pass these savings on to their customers. Some don’t.

But the net effect is a perfectly fine brand new wedding dress at a superb price! Now you might ask – will all those online and offline retailers competing for your dollar … where is a girl to even look for these special discounts?

Believe it or not you can find an absolutely stunning brand new wedding dress for the petite or the plus size bride – for under $200! So … heck … bring on the savings please!

For example, in browsing our suppliers yesterday I saw many super savings. One in particular sticks out in my mind – a gorgeous gown with a highly embellished bodice and skirt at $499 – a whopping $3,500 savings over retail … visit TrueBlissWeddings.com and scroll down to the very bottom of the page … hopefully the sale and savings are still available.

Kind of leaves some room for an upgrade suite for that romantic island honeymoon, don’t you think?

Victoria Wedding Gown – $ 499.00

Sexy and chic plus size bridal wear includes everything from what you wear under your wedding dress, including bra, panties, bustier (or Spanx), support hose, garter belt, anklets, wedding day lingerie, wedding night lingerie and more!

Here are four tips to help you in choosing your wedding gear.

4 Tips For Buying Sexy and Chic Plus Size Bridal Wear

1) Get yourself properly sized and fitted. Seriously. Most of us gals wear the wrong bra size and wonder why we have these ugly bulges here and there or we’re constantly re-adjusting. Exactly what you don’t want on your wedding day!

You want to look flawless – so take the opportunity to do it right. You may even find the right fit does wonders for your posture and ease of movement.

2) If you like a girdle by all means get one. They’re stiff and uncomfortable and don’t need to be a part of your wedding wardrobe.

3) Get the number one New Secret Weapon! It gives you all the benefits of a girdle and then some. It will lift and firm you in all the right places, is made of a breathable fabric, is beautifully flexible, gives you the perfect silouette and will allow you eat and dance the night away. What is this secret weapon? In a word “Spanx”.

4) Split test before the wedding day! Try on your undies under your wedding gown before hand. You don’t want little bows poking through and causing nasty little bulges or a stray strap peaking out.
And although white lingerie is often chosen, you may decide to opt for a nude color under that white dress as it won’t show and will give you a flawless and seamless look.

Best choice? Your wedding day will require your endurance, so choose comfort. You don’t need to wear your wedding night bridal lingerie under your wedding dress during the day. Save these to change into later.

Save that stunningly white lacy bridal lingerie for later in the evening …

With these few tips in mind you can have a sexy and chic appearance and still be comfortable and confident.

Are you a plus size bride?  Searching for that perfect wedding gown or designer wedding dress can be a daunting task.  Are you considering buying your bridal gown online?

You may have heard it recommended that you do not buy your gown online.  For these simple reasons:

• Brides who purchased online sometimes discover that they didn’t receive the dress they were expecting

• It was delivered too late for their wedding.

• You may even find you get a counterfeit dress of what you thought was from a high quality fashion designer

• Buying your dress online might not really save money because you  may need to find a qualified alterations specialist who can properly fit your dress (actually this is true even if you buy a dress from a retail shop)

This is the most important dress you will ever buy.  Saving a few dollars in this economy is very important, and sometimes your local bridal shop just doesn’t have what you want at a price you can afford!

Just Married!

The internet is a great place to narrow down styles before you visit a store AND if you wish to buy your dress online because you simply cannot find that dress anywhere else, or your local retail wedding store doesn’t have that great a selection,  then by all means, buy your wedding dress online. But BEFORE you do here are a few tips:

5 Tips To Buy Your Wedding Gown Online

#1 – Only browse or shop online from a reputable online company.

#2 – View their returns policy to be certain you can return it if it doesn’t please you

#3 – View their customer reviews of their purchase experience

#4 – Make certain you have a qualified person handy who you know excels at alterations

#5 – Order you dress in plenty of time to allow for a return if you don’t like it, and also to allow your tailor or seamstress to make the necessary alterations, if they are needed (this goes for the gowns for the plus size mother-of-the-bride and your bridesmaids dresses too!)

Yes, it is nice when it comes time to purchase, to visit  a full service bridal store where you can see, feel and try on the dress before you make your final decision.  But my personal experience in this route is that I went to 9 different bridal shops in my city looking for my perfect wedding gown, only to be disappointed because they didn’t have what I wanted, when I did find something I managed to like, – it was no longer is stock, the line was discontinued; to the style that I wanted wasn’t what the shop owner wanted to sell me.  It took me a lot of time to find, locate and get to these shops.  My feet hurt, parking was a nightmare, I had been insulted, they didn’t have what I wanted (I did NOT want to look like the tooth fairy!),  and when it was all said and done I was extremely frustrated. Not to mention the 9 to 12 month waiting period if I even did find my dream gown!

After weeks and weeks of visiting every bridal shop I could find in my end of the city, I ended up buying my wedding gown online, and I had a simple, easy and non-frustrating experience – and you can too.

There are many reputable online bridal stores that meet the needs of all brides, including the plus-size-bride, the plus-size mother-of-the-bride and your bridesmaids.
