While a few brands nail plus size with contemporary and on-trend pieces, wedding dresses are hard to find for those who are dress size 18+. This is surprising, especially seeing that the average dress size for women in the UK was 16 in 2016. And according to a review undertaken by Price Waterhouse Coopers in 2017, the plus-size market is now worth £6.6 billion "and has been outperforming the overall womenswear and menswear markets in the UK."
Thankfully, we're seeing a shift with a few brands starting to do incredible wedding dresses. One such brand is ASOS Curve, and H&M's bridal collection goes up to size 20. But what about more designer options? They're not as easy to discover, but they exist and they're chic. If this sounds like what you've been looking for, then keep scrolling for the best plus-size wedding dresses for every budget and style.
