Did you know that wedding dresses tend to run small? A regular size in street clothes, for example, may translate into a plus size wedding dress. The plus, or "W" size dresses are proportioned with more room in the waist and hips. Each designer is a little different, so check your measurements against the designer's sizing chart to make sure you order a large enough gown. You can find the size chart for nearly every designer on the House of Brides site (Click here, then look under "Tailor's Advice" near the bottom of the far left column).
