Chocolate brown plus size bridesmaid dress?

adrianzbride

My wedding is September 19, and we're scared to special order dresses from David's in case they won't have time to get here.  So, I'm either going to special order some dresses where the store says it's only 3 weeks delivery, or I'm going to let my bridesmaids find their own dress and not worry whether the shades are exactly the same...

So, I've been looking but can't find anything for my bridesmaid who wears a plus size.  I wanted to find something for her if I could.  JCrew and Ann Taylor have pretty ones for smaller sizes, but unfortunately they don't have plus sizes. 

Have you found any off-the-rack plus size brown dresses?

Thanks!

P.S.  One reason I'd like to not do the 3 week dresses is that I thought if everyone chose their own, they might be able to enjoy wearing the dress in the future.

BM dresses should be in at Davids in 2 months or less...if you order NOW you should be safe, and they can tell you when the delivery date will be before you order. 

Also check out the desinger/brand London times.  Macys carries some of their stuff.  check out the dress on the bottom of this page (sorry my work computer would not let me open the dress for a direct link)

As a plus size woman I think that dress is cute

I just went to google and searched your subject in images.  You can also look in the prom dress section right now...maybe find something on sale, and even not totally formal for the re-wearability factor

You do have 3 months though.  I've bought both a BM and wedding dress from David's and I think the longest time for delivery was 4-6 weeks.

davids said i'd get my wedding dress in three weeks, can't imagine bridesmaids taking longer
maybe try overstock.com or amazon as well .

Thanks, everyone!  I've just heard some horror stories about David's saying one thing and then taking a lot longer.  I'm not sure I want to risk it.  Plus, my MOH tried on a number of styles there and none fit her right since she is larger busted. 

Thanks again for the suggestions!  I'll look into them.

Thank you all!  I think I'm switching to hot pink now, since I've found a lot more options in brands that have a range of sizes in the same styles.  Maybe it's the season, or maybe brown is not so in right now, but I do love the pink, too.  One thing I was thinking with the brown is that it's elegant and people could hopefully wear their dresses again, but if we buy an off-the-rack dress, maybe they can wear the pink one again, too.  And we have to get something that fits decently if not really well, and we haven't been able to find that in brown for all of my bm's. 

Here is one I was considering, too, but I wasn't sure if it was formal enough, in case someone else is looking.  Actually, two more.
