Mrs. Cotton Candy, Riverside, CA Age and Occupation: 29, Field Coordinator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 34, Process Server Engagement Date: July 5, 2007 Wedding Date: June 2011 Venue: Riverside Art Museum About Me: I’m a girl in love with her best friend planning a small mid-century modern inspired wedding that’s been a long time coming. I love all things design, sewing, flea markets, and a good book. I’ve been known to swoon over a well-designed chair and often find myself craving a new addition to my chair collection regardless of the lack square footage in our home. I’m Mexican American girl who hates all things spicy but loves her rowdy Mexican family and her Latin roots. My wedding muses may not be your typical wedding superstars, but with a lot of DIY, a dash of offbeat style, and lots of love and laughs, Mr. Cotton and I plan to create a day that is unmistakably us.

For the Curvy Girls

March 2nd, 2011 @ 1:54 pm by Mrs. Cotton Candy

If you’re like me, images of bridesmaids in vintage/Anthropologie-esque dresses make you swoon.

If you’re also a plus-size bride with a bridal entourage ranging from petite to plus like me, making your vintage vision come to life can feel completely unobtainable. True vintage plus-size dresses are few and far between and, due to their rarity, come at a premium. Additionally, vintage-style retailers such as Anthropologie and Modcloth only carry dresses up to size 14. So what’s a curvy girl to do?

Well, my friends, that’s where my new best friend LucieLu comes in. Lucielu is an online boutique specializing in plus-size clothing ranging from sizes 1x to 5x. Their clothes are a wonderful mix of classic and vintage silhouettes with just a dash of trendy; they bring to mind all the lovely dress I’ve longed for at Anthropologie.

While I haven’t received my first order from them yet, a quick Google search resulted in a boatload of positive reviews for the quality of clothing and customer service.

I can guarantee you one of these beauties will be making an appearance in our upcoming e-pics, with a couple more making their debut at my shower and rehearsal dinner!

Awesome! You might also like eShakti.com - they carry a wide size range and you can add sleeves, change necklines, etc. That’s where my plus-sized sister found her dress for my wedding.
