I need help with wedding dress!!!!!

latpreschool

Hi everyone, I desperately need some help and advice choosing the right wedding dress for my size-body shape.
I am getting married in April on the beach in Florida. I would like a tea-length dress, but are unsure what style of dress to choose. I'm a size 16-18, broad shoulders and across my back, and have quite chubby arms. I'm 5'8. What style of dress is best for me? Some people say avoid strappy dresses, yet others say choose a spagetti strap! What neckline will suit my shape?
I'm so confused and am not really looking forward to trying on dresses with absolutely no idea what will look nice on me.
I don't want to look back on my photos and hate what i see (a fat blob)
Please can someone help?:huh:

dolly couture does all sizes in the tea length and knee length dress and is based in Calafornia ( dont know how far that is to florida just saying )

if you add her on facebook she has massive albums and people of all shapes and sizes on there.

you'd look amazing in one

I think the general rule is that spaghetti straps tend to make you look bigger, so I would go for strapless. If you're self conscious about your arms you can always wear a cute shrug anyway

Not sure I'm thinking of the right word but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong- but maybe a sweet heart neckline? I always think they look very pretty.

Go with an open mind and wait until you feel like a princess!

(You might get more luck on replies in the wedding board, it's a sub board from here.)

This thread would get more advice if it was in the wedding area whic is a sub catergory to this one (above this ).
No idea how you get it moved, guess a mod would be the best bet.

Not being picky just want you to get as much help as possible.
