Plus size dresses

Does anyone know of particular designers or styles that tend to be more flattering for plus size bridesmaid dresses?

TIA for any suggestions.

What I'm having the most trouble with is sleeves.

I wanted something with sleeves but everything I try on with sleeves doesn't look very good on me.

Keep an open mind about what you want when you head out to the stores.

Re: Plus size dresses

Thanks for the suggestions.

Lisa50, it's a beautiful dress, but I don't think my BMs would be comfortable with the plunging neckline. Lots of luck selling them, though!

I got my gown from David's Bridal. FSIL is also plus size and we got a strapless gown that flows to the side. I think it is in my album.

Re: Plus size dresses

I agree with the sites that the ladies mentioned- also yes David's in most cases goes up to size 26 and even up to 36.

Also look at Alfred Angleo as he also does plus size BM dresses too.

Re: Plus size dresses

Many designers have plus sizes, they just charge you more for them. Mine is a Casablanca and plus sized. The sizes run differntly though. I'm a street size 16 and ordered a 22. I too wanted sleeves so casablanca made a bolero for me out of the same lace as on my dress. There are options, maybe just ask the person helping you in the store what designeres are flexible.

You'll look gorgeous....you'll find something...don't sweat it!!!

Re: Plus size dresses

Many of the dresses can be ordered in plus sizes.

Thanks! I had the same fear, the other dresses we just sowed up that plunge. Good luck, you will find something beautiful I'm sure. The other ones I got were from Davids Bridal, they have awesome prices too!

What I'm having the most trouble with is sleeves.

I wanted something with sleeves but everything I try on with sleeves doesn't look very good on me.

Keep an open mind about what you want when you head out to the stores.

I have plus size arms and boobs
So I found that sleeves look like sausage casings... and strapless looks aweful.

Simple straps and a scoop neck or v neck actually distracted from the arms a lot. I never in million years would have thought to try on the dress I ultimately bought, I'm so glad the bridal attendant made me try on many different things.
