Plus-sized fashion blogger sends powerful message to haters

On Tuesday, I shared an apology letter written by a women's health coach, and I was taken aback by what an impact it had.

 

I was stopped twice by people who wanted to chat about the content of the letter and it seems we are all very much on our own journey of self love and acceptance in this high society where blemish free and size small is the way we are made to feel we should be striving for.

 

This plus-sized fashion blogger decided to share a picture of herself in her wedding dress with words that made an impact.

Body positive poster girls have exploded all over social media of late, with their open and comfortable selves, rolls and all. Sharing pictures of themselves unfiltered and in plain sight. 

You have to admire their courage, I couldn't do it.

When I put on my wedding dress I knew it was the one. The gentle sparkle of the dress with the lace detail The champagne colour that perfectly complemented my olive skin, the way it fell over my hips and followed the curves of my figure. It was just magical. I never dreamed I would wear a dress like this, I used to think that I would never get married until I was thin. There were even times I doubted myself thinking I would be too self conscious to wear it. But As you grow older and you surround yourself with the right people, you begin to realise that what you look like doesn't really matter to those that love you. Dan has loved me at all different sizes and on the day of the wedding when I walked into the room he turned and teared as I walked towards him, he looked at me like I was magic. So I would like to say this one thing to brides to be everywhere, plus size or not. Do not feel you have to change yourself or your size to be happy on your wedding day, your partner loves you for who you are, not just what you look like. You are deserving of happiness no matter what your size, and you will still be the most beautiful person in the room next to your love because you will be glowing with the love you have for each other. The happy ending is for everyone so please, please let yourself have it. Hair: @smuk_london MUA: @sharlottejacks Photo by @kirstymackenziephotography
