Since opening our Curve store in Islington in 2021, the Angelica Bridal team has assisted many dozens of brides seeking modern and feminine wedding gowns in sample sizes from 16 to 28+. We have spent many years listening to brides of different shapes and sizes, providing gowns matched to our customers’ needs and personal styles.

For the voluptuous bride, we often recommend A-Line, Empire Waist, and Mermaid-style dresses. Here are six stunning dresses in these categories.

A-Line Gowns

A-line dresses cinch at the waist and flare out, creating a balanced silhouette that accentuates the waistline, providing a flattering shape for voluptuous brides while offering comfort and elegance.

Here are two of our favourites.

Justin Alexander – Style C900018

Justin Alexander offers a diverse range of styles, silhouettes, and sizes, featuring an array of stunning plus size wedding gowns such as this A-line style dress.

Hera Couture – Style C710001

Each Hera Couture gown is exquisitely crafted to accentuate and flatter, empowering every woman to feel like her most radiant self, regardless of her size. This is very much the case with this stunning empire waist style dress.
