If your under a size 28, David's Bridal in Carle's Place had a good amount to try on. Check out their website, see if there is anything you like, then go and try it. I only say to check out the website, because that's their entire collection.

RK is a great place to start, such a huge selection overall. And I actually saw a LOT of pretty gowns at David's when I went to pick out my BM's dresses .. and their website is a good place to get an idea of what they have

I got mine at Centereach Bridal Suite. They had quite a few to try on. Ask for Amy. She knows her stuff.

Another vote for Lillette's !! I am working with Cathy...she's awesome!! I felt so comfortable trying on dresses.

I would avoid Estelle's. They have a lot of dresses, but there is NO PRIVACY!!! I found it hard to try on dresses with 16 year olds running around..JMO.
