Trying on plus size dresses?!?!

Ok, my mom lives out of state and will be here in two weeks and I was thinking of going to try on dresses. However, knowing that most samples are size 10 (and I am not!), where can I try on plus size dresses?

NOT David's Bridal. I went there already. Tried on 3 dresses, none of which I liked.

Thanks!!

Re: Trying on plus size dresses?!?!

I tried some on at RK bridal and Bridal Reflections in Massapequa. I ended up buying a dress that I tried on that was like a million sizes too small for me - but obviously they ordered it for me in my size. Hey I say go to whatever salon you want to go to - you can squeeze yourself in! At least that was my motto!

Good luck!

I agree about CWC. I wouldn't order from them, but they are a great place to shop.

I also found a lot at Beautiful Bride in Lynbrook, Helen's Bridal in Commack, Bridal Suite of Bayshore & Bridal Suite of Patchogue.

Good luck!

Re: Trying on plus size dresses?!?!

When I went to commack wedding center...they were crowded and the girl who was 'helping' me was not very useful..I could not find that many plus size dresses

suprisingly I went to Macy's Bridal salon in smithhaven mall.....they had a nice selection and I ultimately found my dress...the 1st one the consultant suggested I try on

good luck
