My mother is quite overweight. We need to begin looking for a dress for her. Can anyone recommend any places that might carry larger size samples so that she can actually try on dresses?
We're in Brooklyn, but can travel to LI (preferably somewhere in Nassau since Suffolk is a bit of a hike).

My mom got her gown at Doris Fashion on 18th Avenue and MIL got hers at Queen of Hearts in Merrick.

Re: Mother of the Bride...
This is where my mom ordered her dress (see dress below) Kay-Ann Bridal Shoppe 483 Franklin Avenue Franklin Square, NY 11010 Phone: (516) 326-0953 Fax: (516) 867-1432 http://www.kay-annbridal.com (right across the street from the Sand Castle -- some of the sample sizes were a size 16)
Here are other places that we went to that had nice stuff Grace Charles Philips Plaza (in the that shopping center by that Pizza Uno) 643 Sunrise Highway Lynbrook, NY 11563 Phone: (516) 599-6664
And these one (I'm not sure on this one) I've heard good things from LIW's but we never did get to go
Queen of Hearts 29 Merrick Avenue Merrick, NY Phone: (516) 377-1357
This a picture of the dress, my mom ordered this dress in a the blue (like a wedgewood blue) - there were like 5-6 colors to choose from. Also, nylisa's mom ordered this one too, I believe it was a purple color.
My mom did wear the same dress in an eggplant color.

We just ordered my moms dress at After 5 salon in Massapequa on Broadway. THey are affiliated with bridal Reflections. The people were really nice, and I believe they had dresses for all sizes.

Re: Mother of the Bride...
My mother is overweight as well. She prefers to haver her dresses custom-made. This time around she may not. I plan on suggesting the plus size department at Bloomingdales (Manhattan) and Nordstrom.
