Frequently Asked Questions About Essense of Australia Plus Size
How is an Essense of Australia plus-size gown different from a standard gown?
The difference is in the design and construction. These gowns are not just sized up; they are re-engineered for a curvy figure. This includes features like higher backs for more coverage and support, perfectly proportioned beading and lace, and enhanced internal structure to sculpt and define your shape beautifully.
What other plus-size designer collections do you carry?
We are proud to offer one of the region's best selections of designer plus-size gowns. In addition to Essense of Australia, you can explore the glamorous designs of Julietta by Morilee and the romantic creations from Maggie Sottero's plus-size collection, all in one visit.
Can I find a plus-size gown with long sleeves?
Absolutely. The Essense of Australia plus-size collection features a stunning variety of styles, including beautiful long sleeve wedding dresses. From delicate illusion lace to more structured crepe sleeves, we can help you find the perfect option for your vision and comfort.
Why is an in-person appointment so important for a plus-size bride?
Fit is everything. An in-person appointment allows our expert consultants to guide you to the designers and silhouettes that will best flatter your specific shape. It also allows you to feel the quality of the construction and support for yourself, giving you complete confidence in your choice in a way that online browsing cannot.
