HI am a big girl but by sis is a bigger girl. She is not my MOH or BM but is still a MAJOR part of the wedding. She's about 300 to 320 lbs. I was wondering if anyone know where she can get a dress that doesn't make her look old. Many plus size formal wear looks really dowdy. She is only 23!
TIA
I would say try torrid....but they might not have Super Fancy dresses....i've definitely gotten ones for a wedding there though.... I know what you mean about plus size being a little ....'frumpy'....torrid is usually pretty good... Also, Estelles is sometimes hit or miss....i'll go and find nothing, then the next time I have 6 dresses that I like....she should try there also...its on Rt 110... Good luck!

The site that Christys0925 posted www.alight.com has cute dresses that go up to like a size 34.
I just looked! Their stuff is so cute!!!! I definitely will be ordering some honeymoon stuff from them!
Someone might have posted this already...but if you type in bride under this website...they have really cute pink just married pajama pants.....for only $10....I ordered them last night!!
I do actually have a couple of shirts from here and they're pretty decent pricing for decent quality!!

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
Girls, also try www.igigi.com. They have some great stuff. Nordstroms has some amazing plus size dresses as well. Old Navy's PS stuff fits great also. I've ordered many times from Alight and wasn't thrilled with their stuff, but some of it's alright. Runs a little small.As for trying on gowns, I was soooo putting it off, but as soon as I put one on, I realized they can actually make you look better! Make sure you get one that covers up what you don't want seen and accentuates what you like. Check out my album for my dress. It made me look like I have a waist and just hid everyhting. My sister and I were amazed!

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
So excited. I got a new fat sucker today. Amazing. I fit into a size down jean with it on. I wore a fitted short and my fat rolls was not hanging over. I swear it sucked in about 6 inches. I can't wear it under my dress because of the straps. But I guarantee I will be wearing it under dress, jeans, everything. Had to share

I made it to the gym today. And I may have found a buddy who has convinced me to go back to WW. Maybe this time I'll actually follow the plan. I have done it before I totally didn't follow it this last time. So, yay for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
AW, That stinks!!!! Captsarkasm said she would go to the meetings with me and so did my GF. My GF and I went with our husbands, but I think that's why it didn't work out. Boys, can't live with them, can't procreate w/o them!

What I Love about it, It's like wearing a second skin.
