Plus Size Wedding Dresses

At Evie Young, inclusivity is built into every gown through expert pattern grading and thoughtful internal construction. As sizes scale, body proportions change—particularly in areas of support and comfort—so each design is carefully re-engineered rather than simply enlarged. This ensures every bride experiences the same exceptional fit, structure, and confidence, from size 2 to size 28.

• Bust Cups – Bust measurements don’t always align with the rest of the body, which is why Evie Young offers customised internal bust cup options. Developed through extensive research and in collaboration with premium lingerie specialists, our exclusive bust cups provide increased depth and width – more comparable to bra sizing than standard dress cups. These are seamlessly built into the bodice for superior comfort, shaping, and support, especially when paired with our signature internal construction.
• Signature fusion construction – Each Evie Young gown features carefully engineered internal support that shapes, lifts, and enhances the body while maintaining comfort and ease of movement. Support is balanced with wearability – because this is a dress designed to be lived in, danced in, and celebrated in for hours. Construction is as integral to the design as the outer silhouette itself.
  The majority of Evie Young wedding dresses incorporate corset-style boning within the bodice to create structure, definition, and a beautifully cinched waist. Our boning is crafted from lightweight synthetic materials inspired by traditional whalebone, allowing flexibility, movement, and lasting support without compromising comfort. As sizes scale, both the quantity and width of boning are thoughtfully adjusted to ensure optimal shaping across all sizes.
  
  
• Comfort – Comfort is essential to feeling confident on your wedding day. Evie Young gowns are designed with breathable, moisture-wicking linings that feel soft against the skin and help regulate temperature. For strapless styles, additional internal support – such as a discreet Petersham belt – helps carry the weight of the gown, so you feel secure and supported without the need for constant adjustment.

The most important factor when selecting your wedding dress fabric is what reflects your personal style and keeps you feeling comfortable. Over years of experience dressing brides of all sizes, we’ve noticed some helpful patterns:

• Textured fabrics – Lace, embroidery, and tulle are beautifully versatile. At Evie Young, lace placements are thoughtfully considered to flatter curves and guide the eye across the body, creating an elegant, balanced silhouette for every size.
• Structured fabrics – Heavier fabrics like jacquard and mikado provide subtle structure and a clean, sophisticated aesthetic, while lighter fabrics such as crepe and satin offer a softer drape. These structured options can be especially supportive and flattering for plus-size brides.
• Fabrics to consider carefully – Soft satin or lightweight crepe may not offer the same level of support as structured fabrics, so it’s worth discussing options with your stylist to ensure comfort and confidence throughout your day.

At Evie Young, we don’t believe in pigeonholing any bride into a “type.” Every bride is unique, and while tastes may overlap, choosing a wedding dress is a deeply personal experience.

Just as with smaller sizes, the silhouette you choose should be the one that makes you feel confident and beautiful. Some brides love to celebrate their curves in fitted designs, while others prefer the romantic elegance of an A-line or ball gown. Every silhouette can look stunning on a plus-size bride.

We encourage you to try on a variety of shapes—you may be surprised by what feels perfect on your body. Keep an open mind, experiment, and dare to dream!

Here are some silhouettes often recommended for their flattering lines and comfort across all sizes:

1. A-Line: This silhouette is universally flattering. It features a fitted bodice and flows out gradually from the waist, creating a smooth line that skims over the hips and thighs without clinging. Pay attention to the draping , which should fall softly and effortlessly.
2. Ball Gown: This classic style has a fitted bodice and a voluminous skirt, which can help balance proportions and create an elegant, regal look. It also provides a dramatic effect that many brides love. Pay attention to the volume of fabric not being too overwhelming, plus a good design will sit flat on the tummy area and higher at the back to accommodate boning.
3. Empire Waist: With a high waistline that sits just under the bust and a skirt that flows outwards, this style emphasizes the bust while providing a loose fit over the stomach and hips.
4. Fit and Flare: This silhouette is a celebration of curves and the figure hugging design often looks sexy and fabulous in all sizes. It really depends on your individual proportions as to which design will best suit your shape. Try lots on!

Hugging the body from bust to hip before gently flaring out, this silhouette celebrates curves and can feel both sexy and sophisticated. As with all designs, individual proportions will influence which variation suits you best – so try several to find your perfect match.
