Plus size wedding dresses

Just like everyone else said try the bigger shops (David's, Alfred Angelo, etc. first because they have lot of sizes AND they are affordable). Then if you don't find anything I would call the smaller shops, make appointments and tell them on the phone your street size - ask them to go through their dresses and pull out all the ones they think will work ahead of time. This is supposed to be about you and feeling great - so love who you are and make sure the stores cater to you and not the reverse!

I was dreading it at first too, but then once I started going I couldn't stop, I went to 3 different stores twice each! I ordered a dress of of ebay, but ended up going back to the first store and buying another dress.

Davids was good because they do have a ton of options in different sizes. I am a street size 18, so when I went I grabbed dresses that were a couple sizes smaller and a couple sizes bigger, assuming that they didn't have it in my actual size, because they can order them for you.

the smaller shops had less selection in larger sizes, but they you can still try the dress on, especially if it has a corset back, you can get a good idea of what it will look like.

It's a lot of fun, I actually wish I could still go try on dresses just for fun!

here's mine

I'm so glad to see this thread on plus size wedding dress's. I think I will be ordering from Davids's. My concern is I'm in Canada and David's is in USA. I can't seem to find a large store that carries a large selection like David's does here in Canada. The selection gets even harder when your plus size is in the 20's too !!!!

Just wanted to ditto what everyone else said about checking out the larger chain stores first, they will have more of a selection.

And I must say you girls look fabulous in your dresses! They are so beautiful and flattering.
