BM dresses

Does anyone know of a place where they have a good selection of larger BM dress sizes (14 and up) in the Nassau county area?

The story:
So last weekend we went bridesmaids dress shopping and I had a problem. One of my BMs could not fit into any of the sample dresses they had; they wouldn't even go over her legs. She was a good sport about it, but I feel bad because I wanted to get a feel for what worked for whom.

I've been to three places now and haven't found one and now she and I are going on a solo trip the weekend of the 5th and I am trying to find a good place.

I think David's Bridal has a lot of dresses in many different sizes.

I know its ridiculous how small they make the dresses! I had the same problem, but I spoke with a few bridal salons and they said that they don't pick and choose what color/size dress samples they get from designers.

The salons have to pay extra money in order to get the plus sizes in their stores.
Only a few dresses that are plus size are sent to the salons.

The only one that was flattering on all of my girls was a Bill Levkoff design # 454. Its about $220, but the sample was plus size and after choosing that design, I have noticed 3 other people have used it in their weddings. That cut hides all the lumps and bumps.
Good luck

I looked at your Bill Levkoff style and you know whats funny cheleche1? I had my girls try on the Tea Length version of that dress. Its Bill Levkoff style 625. What I had liked about it was the beading as I think it would pull from my dress.

Yet, I did not see it on two of my girls! (Sample was a size 2?!?)

Went to a second venue and had the same problem.

I just did a forum search and heard many say Davids Bridal and Adriennes . . . I will start there

Thanks for the good luck

I just went to Renatas boutique in lindenhurst last night and really liked that same exact dress. I have a larger girl and wasnt sure how it would look and the sample was a 10 so I am so glad to hear that. They had it for a little cheaper depending on how many u ordered. If you get 6 or more its only like 200 there.
