Are strapless gowns suitable for a curvy bride?

Absolutely. Strapless ballgowns, fit-and-flare gowns, and modified mermaid silhouettes flatter curvy figures beautifully. Look for strong internal corsetry, full cup support, and a sturdy bodice with internal boning that holds the silhouette confidently. A bodice that is too soft will not support a heavier bust through the day.
