Help - plus size friend needs wedding dress!

OK - so my best friend is getting married next february and she is having a very tough time finding a dress that comes in a size large enough for her. How can I kindly suggest to look at plus size dresses without hurting her feelings? I know the Alfred Angelo and Emme make gorgeous plus size dresses and I am sure once she tried one on, she would realize that they are beautiful, too. Any suggestions??

Re: Help - plus size friend needs wedding dress!

Every store I shopped at had TONS of plus size dresses - which was good, cause I didn't think I'd find 'the one' for me.... in fact, I found many! Tell her to just go to every store she can and try on as much as possible so she gets an idea what style fits her best - she should have NO problem

My friend found a few dresses to try on at David's Bridal...but she found 'the' dress at the Wedding Center in Commack. Alfred Angelo is the designer of her dress.

I found a decent plus size section at Angels Bridal in East Islip, they have one of the bigger plus sized sections out of all the shops I went to.
