I am a 'plus' bride. I got my dress at Adrienne's in Islip. They were the ONLY place that I went to where I could actually try the dresses on that they actually fit and I could see what they REALLY looked like!

Re: Chubby Bride
Any bridal store is what you make of it....I found my dress at David's and i ended up in a strapless, which I didn't originally want, but it looked perfect on me. I am not doing alterations there...too many horror stories, but I am happy with the service I received there outside of the fact that I was not called to be told that my BM dresses had come in.

Bridal Suite in Centereach! ask for Amy she was great they had quite a few styles for me to try on. You can also look at alfred angelo.com or Emme bridal online and get a dress idea you like. they might even order the sample for you. they did that with my bridesmaids dress!

Re: Chubby Bride
The only bad stuff I've ever heard of was about the store in Brooklyn. I went to David's in Freehold, NJ and had a wonderful experience with them. I know of a couple of brides who went to Carle Place and also had no problems. It's worth checking out. Our choices can be a little bit limited sometimes. And their dresses are gorgeous and not all are strapless. This is mine, if you are interested.
