This is one of our many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/blog\/friday-favorite-understated-classic-elegance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">classic wedding gowns<\/a> that are designed for our gorgeous curvy brides! After reading about Natasha&#8217;s experience, you\u2019ll be adding it to your shopping list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">How did you and your partner meet?<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI met my husband on a night out. I only gave him the time of day because we had a lot of mutual friends, but we ended up having a great time together. We exchanged numbers and started dating pretty soon after that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What made you choose your Maggie Gown, Alistaire Lynette by Maggie Sottero?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think I must have looked at at least a thousand dresses before I made my choice. Alistaire Lynette ticked all the boxes of what I was looking for in a dress for my wedding reception. It flattered my curves and was a good balance between sexy and conservative (so as not to send the African parents into shock.) From the get-go, I knew I wanted something with a mermaid silhouette and a train. This dress stood out amongst the others because of the gorgeous lace and little sparkle in the details\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"46534\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/9fc0ca5b-8bcb-4ea2-9259-e52ac2e49676-700x467.jpeg\" alt=\"Curvy Bride Standing With Her Husband Wearing A Mermaid Wedding Dress Called Alistaire Lynette By Maggie Sottero\" class=\"wp-image-46534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/9fc0ca5b-8bcb-4ea2-9259-e52ac2e49676-700x467.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/9fc0ca5b-8bcb-4ea2-9259-e52ac2e49676-250x167.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/9fc0ca5b-8bcb-4ea2-9259-e52ac2e49676-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/9fc0ca5b-8bcb-4ea2-9259-e52ac2e49676-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/9fc0ca5b-8bcb-4ea2-9259-e52ac2e49676-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/9fc0ca5b-8bcb-4ea2-9259-e52ac2e49676.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What was your favorite part(s) of your gown and how did you feel about the fit of it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI loved how comfortable the dress was. If you\u2019re going to be wearing the dress for hours, you want to be comfortable. The mermaid silhouette didn\u2019t make it difficult to move in at all. I also love how much support the dress gives. It\u2019s so well structured that you don\u2019t have to break out the heavy-duty shapewear to look good in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What was your wedding dress shopping experience like?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMalawi doesn\u2019t have any reliable boutiques that carry wedding gown designer brands like Maggie Sottero. Normally, that would have meant traveling elsewhere to shop for my dress. However, due to the uncertainty of traveling during Covid, I had to do everything online. I was very lucky to have my aunt who lives in the US and the very helpful people at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rkbridal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RK Bridal<\/a> to help me out and make the entire process a lot smoother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How would you describe \u201cthe vibe\u201d of your wedding, and what was some of your inspiration behind your big day?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was going for a classic-meets-glam look and a party vibe, and I think we achieved it. Malawian weddings tend to be rather formulaic. However, we set out to make our wedding a fun experience within the confines of tradition. We made sure our wedding playlist was music we would want to hear at a party and our friends nailed the assignment when it came to keeping up a celebratory mood throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"46536\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4a9ad87f-55f7-4b0e-8578-30aebacf7461-700x467.jpeg\" alt=\"Black Bride Wearing A Mermaid Wedding Dress Called Alistaire Lynette By Maggie Sottero Standing With Black Bridesmaids Wearing Light Pink Dresses\" class=\"wp-image-46536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4a9ad87f-55f7-4b0e-8578-30aebacf7461-700x467.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4a9ad87f-55f7-4b0e-8578-30aebacf7461-250x167.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4a9ad87f-55f7-4b0e-8578-30aebacf7461-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4a9ad87f-55f7-4b0e-8578-30aebacf7461-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4a9ad87f-55f7-4b0e-8578-30aebacf7461-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4a9ad87f-55f7-4b0e-8578-30aebacf7461.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Do you have any advice for brides-to-be planning their wedding and going dress shopping?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost:&nbsp;start early. There\u2019s so much that can go wrong, and you need to give yourself time to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, when it comes to your dress, be open-minded but have a strong idea of what kind of look you think would be perfect for you on your day. There are so many dresses and choosing just one can be difficult. Having criteria to narrow the search down helps a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, wedding planning can be such a stressful process, and there will be so many people giving their input on how they think you should do things. It helps if you have a clear idea of what you want and can stand your ground on it. You may have to compromise on a few things but at the end of the day, it\u2019s your wedding and you need to make sure you\u2019re happy with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery

A-line gowns are usually the most popular dresses for curvy brides and you can see why &#8212; You get all the support they get in the bodice, with freedom in the skirt! To learn a little bit more about this gorgeous gown, read about how Madison had love at first sight for this princess dress (and her fianc\u00e9!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How did you and your partner meet?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy husband and I met through a family friend a bit over 3 years ago. When we met, we instantly had a connection!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What was your favorite part(s) of your gown and how did you feel about the fit of it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy favorite parts would be the bodice, the detail, and the fit. It was a good fit, I had it altered at the back and a corset back put in, but everything else I left exactly how It was! It was slimming, flattering, and quite comfortable!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"46567\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cee1592d-25b3-40bb-9552-58b4821da78d-700x467.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo Of Bodice Of Wedding Dress Called Savannah By Maggie Sottero\" class=\"wp-image-46567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cee1592d-25b3-40bb-9552-58b4821da78d-700x467.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cee1592d-25b3-40bb-9552-58b4821da78d-250x167.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cee1592d-25b3-40bb-9552-58b4821da78d-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cee1592d-25b3-40bb-9552-58b4821da78d-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cee1592d-25b3-40bb-9552-58b4821da78d-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cee1592d-25b3-40bb-9552-58b4821da78d.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" data-id=\"46569\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fabce456-c2bf-4754-adda-0ec04914e9cf-700x1050.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo Of Curvy Bride Wearing A Wedding Dress Called Savannah By Maggie Sottero\" class=\"wp-image-46569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fabce456-c2bf-4754-adda-0ec04914e9cf-700x1050.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fabce456-c2bf-4754-adda-0ec04914e9cf-250x375.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fabce456-c2bf-4754-adda-0ec04914e9cf-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fabce456-c2bf-4754-adda-0ec04914e9cf-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fabce456-c2bf-4754-adda-0ec04914e9cf-120x180.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fabce456-c2bf-4754-adda-0ec04914e9cf.jpeg 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"483\" data-id=\"46560\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/69dd6ebd-ad5c-4c4c-a306-f7bc859e464c-700x483.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo Of Tattooed Bride Wearing A Wedding Dress Called Savannah By Maggie Sottero\" class=\"wp-image-46560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/69dd6ebd-ad5c-4c4c-a306-f7bc859e464c-700x483.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/69dd6ebd-ad5c-4c4c-a306-f7bc859e464c-250x172.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/69dd6ebd-ad5c-4c4c-a306-f7bc859e464c-768x529.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/69dd6ebd-ad5c-4c4c-a306-f7bc859e464c-1536x1059.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/69dd6ebd-ad5c-4c4c-a306-f7bc859e464c-120x83.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/69dd6ebd-ad5c-4c4c-a306-f7bc859e464c.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What was your wedding dress shopping experience like?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy wedding dress shopping was a tough one&#8230; until I found this dress.

The moment I slipped that black beauty on, this warmth wrapped around me, and the feeling of happiness and joy was all around. I wanted to twirl and dance and hug myself like some weirdo in the dressing room but that&#8217;s how amazing this dress was for me! I guess the saying is right when you find the one, you know.
