Style Guide for Plus Size Party Dresses for Indian Weddings
It is deeply saddening that many girls do not get enough outfit options because they are curvier, petite or taller than average. In this changing world, it is important that every woman feels included. With this style guide, you will not only have a better idea of what you can wear for your wedding but also have inclusive clothes that are hard to find in offline stores.
For Bachelorette Party
Begin the celebrations with a fun night with your girl gang where you can do all your favourite activities together.
For your bachelorette party, you can play around with colour schemes or themes, but the bride should look different from all the bridesmaids. You can choose a colour for your friends, and a contrasting colour for yourself. Bold colours like red, maroon, wine, etc., look best for the bride. Here are some ideas for the perfect dress to celebrate your bridal shower:
Sexy red dress: If you want a sexy and bold outfit for your bachelorette, you can check out this solid stylish casual dress in red colour. This bodycon dress will give you a flattering fit, and it is specially made for plus-size girls so you do not have to worry about any unwanted bulges.

Go classy with a saree: You can make your bridesmaids wear dresses while you stand out in a sexy saree! You can coordinate the colour for the dresses to get perfect pictures of the night!
For Cocktail Ceremony
Embrace your edgy side in your cocktail ceremony, where you sip mimosas and sangrias in a gorgeous dress. Here are some outfit ideas for plus size party dresses for indian weddings:
Timeless black dress: Cocktail parties are informal events where everyone can enjoy themselves, so this is the perfect occasion to dress up in a little black dress, right? This solid black casual dress is perfect for your cocktail party.
Elegant one-shoulder dress: Asymmetrical dresses are currently in trend. One-shoulder dresses give you a sexy edge without exposing any bulges, making them perfect for such occasions. If you want a short one-shoulder dress, you can go for this maroon, solid stylish casual dress with a net sleeve. If you want something longer, you can check out this rouge pink self-design dress with a frill at the hem.
For Haldi/Mehendi
The colour theme for haldi and mehendi ceremonies is common- yellow and green! But you can still play around with styling your outfit to look different and unique. You need to wear a sleeveless outfit for proper henna application. But if you are conscious about wearing sleeveless dresses, we have a solution for you as well. Check out our suggestions for a haldi-mehendi outfit:
Play with sleeves: Go for loose sleeves that can be folded up easily, like lily sleeves or flutter sleeves. You can also try cap sleeves as they will cover the shoulder, but your arms will be free.
Use Dupatta as Cape: You can style your dupatta as a cape to cover your arms without the need for sleeves.
For Wedding and Reception
For your big day, it is absolutely essential to look like a princess, so you cannot compromise on anything. When going shopping for your bridal lehenga, here are some things you can consider:
Avoid broad and big prints/ embroidery patterns: Avoid lehengas with broad patterns or prints, as they will make you appear bigger. Instead, go for finer embroidery, pearl work, and lehenga with vertical designs.
Keep the blouse simple: Avoid heavy blouses as they will bring a lot of attention to your midsection. Keep the blouse plain and simple, and keep the dupatta heavy.
Saree can be perfect for you: Keep an open mind and try our wedding sarees as well. It is quite popular, especially after a few actresses ditched the lehenga and went for a saree for their wedding. You can use a dupatta as a veil with your saree. You should give it a shot.
Make V-neck your best friend: V-neck will make your neck appear longer and give you a slimmer appearance. Pair the blouse with layered necklaces and rani haar to further elongate the torso.
