Wedding Dresses Size 16
by mari16 on Jul.09, 2009, under wedding dresses size 16
Planning that fantasy wedding? Finding the dress is half the fun. When I started shopping for my wedding dress, I was dreading it. I thought I wouldn't find anything plus sized that fit. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Dresses size 16, 18, 20 and up are one of the hottest sellers recently at the bridal shops. There are some beautiful choices for dresses. Even Vera Wang has wedding dresses size 16 and above. The trick is that some of the designers have different standards of measurements for their designs.
Here are some designer standards for size 16 wedding dresses:
| Standard length dresses size 16 | Vera Wang |
| Bust | 41.5 |
| Waist | 32.5 |
| Hips | 43.5 |
| Remember to take measurements accordingly |
Whats so special about Vera Wang?
Well Vera is the designer that defined the new wedding dress. When she worked at Vogue and then Ralph Lauren, she realized there were a finite choice of wedding dress styles. With all her fashion contacts she started designing some different and stylish dresses that weren't so “traditional”.
Vera dresses are rich with bead work designed and applied by hand. The fabrics are lovely and modern as well as delicate and feminine. She loves the touch of color or lace, bows and sexy styles.
Expect to pay around $3000-$6,000 for a Vera Wang wedding dress, size 16. For larger sizes additional charges may apply. You can find her dresses for less on Ebay.
So Vera is the pinnacle of wedding dresses, but there are some equally beautiful dresses that won't cost a Smart Car to buy =).
