Hello ladies! I need your help please. My MOH and I are going on Thursday for my first dress shopping excursion. Needless to say, I am excited! But at the same time, I am a bit nervous since I am nowhere near a 'Bridal Sample Size!'
Anyway, here is the list that I have compiled of places to go on Long Island:
Bridal Elegance Bridal Suite of Bay Shore Blanchee's Lillette's Bridal Reflections of Massapequa David's Bridal of Westbury
Is this a ridiculous list to get thru in one day? My MOH is taking the day off from work so we can go together. I live in Queens and she lives in Massapequa. I'm trying to be realistic and not kill us by attempting to go to a million places!
Any ideas on the amount of shops to visit in one day? I am trying to keep the dress price pretty low [no more than about $1200]. Are there any shops that I've listed that I can cut out all together? Also, since I am not skinny, does anyone have insight as to shops that I've listed carrying sample sizes bigger than the usual size? Any advice or suggestions would be sooo appreciated!

As for the sizing- I am not skinny wither and Bridal Reflections in Massapequa had quite a few dresses with adjustable sizing. The gowns had several different zippers, this way the attendant just zips the one that fits you best. Also, many Maggie Sottero Gowns have corset backs..which also allow for a bit of adjustable sizing! Have fun!
Hi Keri! Thank you for the insight about Bridal Reflections in Massapequa!! How smart they are with the sneaky zippers! But I gotta tell ya- you look pretty skinny to me in your photo album pics! And I love Maggie gowns!! I am hoping that they look good on me! Thanks again!

Re: Help! How Many Dress Shops?
that's too many... you'll get confused and forget what you liked and didn't like... i would do 3 at the most.
also, don't worry about being a sample size... i am a size 14 so needless to say, no way was i getting into the 6 and 8's they have as samples. they have special clips that they use to get you in the dress... don't worry!

Thanks for the info Karen! Where did you get your dress? I love all of the Paloma dresses that I see in the magazines!!
I'm going to not stress about my chubbiness and enjoy the experience!

Dont' stess about your chubbiness. . . . I didn't... they work with every body type... although i will stress NEXT week when i go to try it on... i've had at least 5 nightmares about how it won't fit! LOL...
i got my dress at Lillette's in Baldwin..t hey have lots of Palomas. i also looked at Bridal Reflections in Massapequa... they had a lot too, but Lillette's was cheaper and closer to my house so i went with them,
