Plus size gowns

Does anyone know where I can go on long island  to try on gowns where they have plus size gowns to try on?  I have been to Davids Bridal and that is the only location I found that has an assortment of gown sizes to try on.  Every other place I have been, all the gowns are size 12 or so and when I put them on I can never tell if they would look good if they only fitted me well.  Please help!

Re: Plus size gowns

  • See if anyone in your area carries dresses by Aurora D'Paradiso.  Beautiful dresses in plus sizees.
  • Suggestion, go to Davids 1st, see what styles you like, that makes it easier when you try to stuff yourself into a size 12.  I knew I wanted something with a dropwaist and a ballgown.  It makes it easier to envision that smaller size on you.
  • Ask your local board and they can probably suggest some stores. If you feel like traveling into New Jersey, I got mine at Park Avenue Bridals in Verona. I also had a good experience at True Love Bridals in Matawan.

  • I went to Helen's private wedding collection in Commack...the dresses didn't always fit but the women helping me did an amazing job of pinning me in. Lilette's in Baldwin also does a good job but I found the women helping me less personable and able to relate to larger women. Good luck!
