There are some unfair things about the bridal industry. For one thing, you'll probably wear a size (or two, or three) up from what you normally wear. Then, to add insult to injury, if you end up in a plus size gown, there's a good chance you'll incur a plus size charge. This depends on the designer, of course, but some designers charge quite a bit more for sizes over 16.

That doesn't mean plus size brides don't have options, though. Check out Torrid's line of bridal gowns for women of a certain size -- they're affordable and stylish, and they could be exactly what you're looking for. Check out the gallery to see what they're offering.
