Hi girls,
One of my best friends just told me she's engaged and I couldn't be more thrilled (I was literally crying when she called to tell me). I'm just so ridiculously happy for her! I'm getting married in September, so it's really special to me that we'll get to be brides together for a little bit.
My friend is curvy, I estimate around a size 14-16? She's a bit self conscious, and would prefer not to have something skin-tight. She envisions a scoop neck lace 3/4 sleeve A-line dress. She also don't have a very high budget, though I don't think she's put together actual numbers yet. I'm planning to help her beef up that budget if I can to make sure she gets a dress she feels beautiful in, but it still will likely be around a $1500 budget max.
Any suggestions on dress shopping? I want to come visit her in Boston and go shopping at local stores! Recommendations on stores that are affordable and would carry plus sized dress samples would be awesome. We can look anywhere in New England if you girls happen to have locations outside of Boston that you'd recommend.
Thanks in advance!
