Plus Size Bridesmaids

Does anyone have any plus size bridesmaids? And by plus size, I do not mean a size 12 or 14, I'm talking a 24. I called Bridal Reflections and they said they have a few samples in the store. Anyone know of any other places that carry samples in at least a 22? Please don't say online because I need to have the dresses tried on. Thanks!!!

Alfred Angelo does. But, tbh, I ordered my wedding dress in a size 22, but the sample I tried on was a 14, my girl squeezed me in enough that I got to see what it would look like.

I tried on sample sizes in 18, 16 and even a 10 (bless the girl who got me in it). I ended up ordering a 24 in my size. I don't think many places have samples in 22. Maybe David's Bridal? I'm not sure though.

I would definately say try davids Bridal they are more likely to have larger sample sizes than any where else. she may have to get clipped into dresses though. Im a size 16 and some of the dresses I tried on were a size 12 because that was the only size they had for me to see it in. I got a idea of how it would look though.

I have two (size 20 and 22) and we went to David's. They had plenty of dresses for them to try on and I had a coupon so I saved each girl $20!

Bm dresses are very different then wedding gowns. My moh ordered an 18 sheis normally a 14....a nd she couldn't get into a sample size10! The other thing I.want to tell you.is David's is really the only place that actually has plus sizes!!
Places where recommend to me in here that carry plus size bm dresses so I called and made appointments, specifically stating I wanted my girls to be able to try on.plus sizes! They said yes no problem and confirmed they had some in stock...I got there they had 3 and not in any style that interested me!!
What we did for my friends wedding bc it was just me andymy moh in her wedding and im a plus size and my moh is allot smaller....we went to David's to get an idea what looked good on me and then went to a salon and only had the skinny girl try on dresses in a style we liked and that looked good on me!
All my girls ordered an 18 or larger do this was a difficult task for us! Only 2 girls actually tried in dresses! Bc David's didn't have anything similar to what I was looking for and I felt so bad!! But my girls were really good about it!!

Call around and ask the stores what their sample sizes. WHen I found a dress we love I called around to find out what they had as a sample for that dress. I have a BM who is a street size 20, and I was able to find a few places that had it in 16 or 18. Since the dress had a bit of stretch she was able to try that on and feel better about ordering it.

Basically, call and ask once you have a few dresses in mind. They should tell you what they have in store.

Thank you! I started calling places yesterday actually. I only have one plus size bm but its my sister so I want to make sure she feels amazing that day too. Everyone else's dress will be based off of her dress. She is large in the middle and the butt so I don't know if she could do the smaller size just clipped. I'm gonna call some other places today. Thanks so much for the feedback. Would you guys mind posting pics of the dresses you chose? That could help us a bit :)

I had the same issue and the largest selection of plus size dresses was in DB's. I went on a weekday after work with my girls and the employees were very helpful. Up until this day they email me and the BM when their dress arrives and they offer free shipping.

We used davids bridal because we have girls from a size 2 to a size 24, everything worked out perfectly and they all got to choose their own dress (as long as it was long and plum). They all look beautiful!!

When I went for my friends wedding her sister and skinny friend tried on most of the dresses and then I measured and ordered mine online and it was perfect :) I had to order up bc of my boobs but then I had it taken in and I would def suggest that u can always have things taken in

As a plus size girl... my only suggestion would be to let each girl pick their own dress in the same color/fabric/length. I was just in a wedding in a dress that looked GREAT on her size 2-6 fairly straight/no hip/no butt friends... but not so much for us bustier, curvier girls.
