My waist is slender, my hips are FLIPPING huge. 2 babies in 2 years has taken its toll. I have a 34B cup and genetics gave me the gift of thick man shoulders. Every wedding guide I look through gives me a body shape that sounds NOTHING like me. HELP I don’t want to look like a beast on my wedding!
Avoid a dress that is too nipped in at the waist as it can make your shoulders (and hips) look bigger. Ah a V neck line can down play the broadness of your shoulders.Go with a fuller bottom (the dress) to balance out your shoulders and slightly hide the hips, make sense?
Could try and look for a dress with some kind of sleeves? like a loose flowy sleeve. I know some dresses can look AWFUL with a sleeve but some women and dresses do work well. Have you gone out and tried on almost every dress in sight?
Ah you could look for a dress that has some detailing around the hip area, maybe like this?

Also big hips ARE beautiful, remember that

I recommend going to this website http://www.dynamicbrides.com I sent them a photo of a designer dress with my measurements, and they were able to make a replica for half of the price. The workmanship was top quality, and no one could tell it was a replica. They should be able to help you. Good luck.
