Momma of the bride dresses...

Ok...I need to get my Momma moving!!! Where can she go to try on reasonably priced dresses in large sizes? She's probably around a size 16-18...

Re: Momma of the bride dresses...

My mom went to Sugar Plum in Lynbrook.

I didn't go with her, but from what I understand, they have sresses you can buy off the rack, so they have diffent sizes (up to 24 I think) but they can order you something if they don't have the right color/size combo you need.

Not sure how reasonablly priced though. I Think it depends on the dress.

ETA: My mom went to a few places & said the ones that had the best selections were the places that just had evening gowns, no bridal gowns.
She also liked Totally You in Wantagh & she almost bought a dress there.

Is that like one of those pay-less dressy dress shops?

Hi, butting in. . .
I didn't go there, but I don't think it is. The dress my mom almost bought there was by Montage (a division of Mon Cheri)
So they carry wedding magazine advertised brands.

Re: Momma of the bride dresses...

We ordered my mom's online, but she tried it on in bridal suite
( I wouldn't recommend the place the people working there are a bit rude) but paradise bridal in patchogue has tons of dresses, i would go there.
