Plus size bride HELP!

Hi All -
I'm a plus size bride and am having a VERY hard time finding a place that actually carries plus size samples to try on... I've already been to David's and didn't really like anything they had.. Does anyone out there know of a place on Long Island that might have samples to try?
Thanks!

Re: Plus size bride HELP!

Plus size bride here too! I went through EXACTLY what you are going through. I ended up buying my dress at the Bridal Suite of Bayshore. They were fantastic. I tried on over 15 dresses there -- all of them fit and some were even too big and needed to be clamped! My consultant was Tammy and she was awesome. She even helped my customize my dress as it was originally strapless and I added cap sleeves!

I tried on a TON of dresses at Paradise Bridal in Patchogue. Ask for Stephanie...she was so super nice, helpful and patient.

Re: Plus size bride HELP!

I had the same issue. There are two places that had tons of plus size gowns

1. Lestan Bridal 1902 Ralph Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11234
*the ride from Suffolk county was not bad at all

2. Rk Bridal in nyc (but I would suggest going during the week and not on a holiday)

I was in the same boat and I went to bridal suites of Centereach and Fantasia Bridal. I ended up getting my dress at Fantasia and they were AMAZING!!! I would highly recommend checking them out.
