links for reubenesque brides

Hee hee, I am having fun thinking of charming euphemisms for fat. Being an artist who specialises in adorableness helps you not mind so much about being fat, actually. Fat things are the cutest things!



Exhibit A.

Anyway, I have been looking at sites which have plus-size dresses. Because I'm from Australia, I've only been checking out sites that ship internationally, so if you live in the US you can probably find lots more. I also wasn't specifically looking for bridal dresses, although some of these site do carry those (or even better, pretty white dresses which haven't been categorised as 'bridal' and so cost half as much). I also ignored any sites which had what I considered to be overly expensive dresses. (One site had a cheery "Coming soon!" in their $200-$300 page, and a single lonely dress in their $300-$400 page.)

Alight
B & Lu
Cherished Woman
Daddy-O's (retro forties and fifties style dresses, absolutely gorgeous!)
Igigi
Kiyonna
Size Appeal
Torrid (including some very pretty and affordable wedding dresses)
Zaftique
eShakti: beautiful Indian-inspired dresses that you can apparently customise as you order-- add longer sleeves, etc. Looks like a fantastic source for pretty wraps and shawls as well!
Evans

And a couple of Australian sites:

Entitled
City Chic

I hope this is useful!

ohh, how beautiful animal!!!
The wedding ceremony is really wonderful like the brides.I think they are like princess in a royal palace. But although the entire celebration is beautiful, many men can have sexual problems that could represent a serious problem. So i suggest them to buy viagra and forget any concern their sexual lives.
