Frequently Asked Questions: Plus-Size Wedding Dresses at Dimitra Designs
1. Do you carry actual plus-size wedding dress samples in store?
Yes! We proudly stock plus-size wedding dresses in bridal sizes 16-32+ for try-on, so you can see how each silhouette looks and feels on your body, no more guessing based on tiny, ill-fitted samples.
2. What silhouettes are most flattering for plus-sized brides?
Every body is unique. Our expert stylists will help you explore what makes you feel confident, whether it’s a structured A-line, romantic ballgown, curve-hugging mermaid, or an effortless empire waist. Our collection of plus-size bridal gowns is curated for fit, comfort, and fashion-forward style.
3. Are your dresses designed with built-in support for fuller figures?
Yes! Many of our plus-size wedding gowns feature built-in bras, boning, and corseted bodices to offer lift, shape, and all-day comfort, no need for extra shapewear (unless you want.)
4. What’s the difference between bridal sizing and street sizing?
Bridal sizes typically run 1-2 sizes smaller than everyday clothing. For example, if you wear a size 16 in jeans, you may wear a bridal size 20. However, never stress - our stylists handle sizing for you and ensure your gown fits beautifully.
5. Can I customize my wedding dress?
Absolutely, and many of our designers offer customizable features. Whether you want added sleeves, a more modest neckline, or a dramatic train, our seamstresses and special-order options can bring your unique vision to life.
6. How long should I expect the process to take, from first try-on to final fitting?
We always recommend starting your dress search at least 8-12 months before your wedding. Gowns typically take 4-6 months to arrive, and we allow time for expert alterations. Short on time? We do offer select plus-size wedding dresses off-the-rack or on rush orders.
7. What should I bring to my appointment?
Wear your comfiest clothes and shoes and bring a clean pair of socks. Bring your open mind, any inspirational photos you love, and don’t forget a trusted friend or family member. If you have a strapless bra or any shapewear, feel free to bring them along, but it’s not required. We can handle the rest!
8. What makes Dimitra Designs different from other bridal shops?
While others may carry a handful of extended sizes, we specialize in bridal wear for plus-size brides. You’ll find body-diverse mannequins, gowns made to flatter curves, inclusive styling from trained professionals, and a no-pressure environment where your joy comes first.
9. I’ve had bad experiences at other boutiques. How do I know this one will be different?
We hear this so often, and it truly breaks our hearts. We’re here to change that. At Dimitra Designs, it’s so much more than ‘finding a dress,’ it’s about being respected and being celebrated. Our team has styled hundreds of plus-sized brides, and we’re passionate about helping you feel empowered,not judged.
Stop Dreaming of the Dress, It’s Waiting for You!
No more guesswork. No more struggling, sweaty, disheveled in a changing room near tears because nothing ever seems to feel right. Just stunning, plus-sized wedding dresses that fit, flatter, and make you feel extraordinary.
