RK Bridal - Plus Sizes??

Original post by dimarcs22

Hey ladies
I have been reading the plus size posts and I saw so many reccomendations for RK Bridal as far as having larger try-on sizes...
I have planned a big outing with my girls to go there tomorrow, but I just talked to them on the phone and they said that they mostly have about size 14's to try on... Which is really like a 10... But I am a 16 or 18 in regular clothes...
I am confused and upset b/c I thought they were known for having lots of dresses in bigger try-on sizes...

Is it instead just that they have a bigger 'plus size' collection than most stores?

She also told me that they have a 7 dress limit per visit.... Is it me or is that a very low number?? Especially for a girl who has no idea what is going to look good on her body type...
I asked the girl what they do if the dresses don't zip up and she basically said she didn't know what they'd do but they'd figure something out...

Its my first time dress shopping, and I am now completely discouraged and not even looking forward to dress shopping tomorrow...

Yay!!! So happy to hear it was a great experience... Mine was successful too! Not sure I found 'the one' yet either… I might have because there is one in particular that I'm loving but I want it in ivory with silver beads and the consultant wasn't sure it could come in that combination... still waiting to hear back. David's Bridal was a great experience... just about every dress I tried on they were able to tie/zip me completely up… even the dresses that were a size or two too small they were able to zip up part way and then they give you a strapless bodice undergarment and slip so that I never felt exposed. The consultant helped me get into every dress (and again with the bodice and slip I never felt uncomfortable) and with the corset tops she took the time to completely lace me up. I also went to Paradise Bridal in Patchogue which was another successful experience. They did have dresses for me to try on but not every dress that caught my eye was in a workable size. In these cases they did use the “jumper cable” clips so I could see how the dress would look but coming out of the dressing room with my bra and underwear exposed was uncomfortable so it look a lot for me to get past it. But eventually I did (especially when the crowd thinned out at the end of the night)… the consultant left me to get in and out of the dresses myself which was both welcomed and resented… welcomed because I didn’t want to feel exposed with no slip… resented because there were a number of times where the layers of the dress would get bunched up. She never laced me up completely but that was ok…

My next stop is Fantasia Bridal in Rocky Point and then I might hit up one more place… Good luck with the rest of your search!!!

Davids Bridal has a great line for plus sizes... and as far as i know there is no limit to trying dresses on...



I was just going say that. DB let's you try on as many dresses as you want, they don't really rush you either and I believe they have a ton of dresses to choose from.



Don't go to the DB in Lake Grove. Total Nightmare!!!
