Plus size bridal gowns

Other than David's Bridal & Alfred Angelo, are there any other dress lines for the plus size bride?

I haven't really found anything I like...any suggestions?

Thanks

Mine is a Bridal Originals and I know Demetrios makes some too. If you go on websites like the knot or others you can put in the search for plus size dresses and it will tell you the designers that make them...

Most designers make them, the trouble is finding a sample in a plus size. I ended up buying mine at Davids. I wouldn't buy a dress that I couldn't try on.

Mary's, Private label, Eden, Emme...I think almost EVERY line has plus size gowns.

It's finding the samples in plus size that seems to be a problem for some.

ETA: Lestan's in Brooklyn had a good selection of different styles of plus sizes and I heard that RK bridal does also. Seach plus size dresses and you'll find a thread with many recommendations for plus size samples

Lillettes Bridal in Baldwin has ALOT of plus size samples - Go and make an appt. with Gerri - Tell her Christine sent you - SHE IS GREAT... I loved her and she was really helpful..

GOOD LUCK

My dress is a Paloma Blanca Diva... the Diva collection is all plus sized. (sizes 14 to 28 I believe)

I second Lillette's.. they had about 15 dresses that were plus sized there and were great to deal with.

I think the sample size I tried on was a 20. Couldn't zip it, but I could get it on good enough to get the idea!

Good Luck
