The silhouettes of the day did nothing to flatter the more voluptuous. I knew that finding a vintage frock was out of the question and being a new-ish Mom, sewing a dress was also not realistic. My only choice was to search for a plus sized dress with a throwback silhouette that could pass with the proper accessories. Enter - Nataya.
Holy smokes - this site was an oasis in a sea of meh. I ordered both of the below gowns in in ivory with the intent of dying them jade green.
I was quite pleased with their 1930's-inspired silhouettes, but the first look was more flattering on my body-type.
Costume guru, Thommy, dyed my dress & built me a gorgeous shawl cape that perfectly complimented it, while also giving me a more period-perfect look. Can not wait to debut the whole ensemble on Sunday!

UPDATE
Me & Thommy before I sweated out my hair & makeup during setup. Next year - we set up plain-clothed & then get dressed.
