Places with larger sample size BM dresses?

Anyone know of any places BESIDES David's Bridal that have larger sample size Bridesmaids Dresses to try on?

We went to Arlene's Bridal over the weekend to dress shop and one of my bridesmaids, who is a 14/16, could not get any of the dresses up over her hips! I felt so bad. I'm a big girl myself so I could only imagine if the roles were reversed!

She's not my largest bridesmaid and I don't want them to buy a dress without at least trying the style on.

Any of you been to dress shops that have larger size bridesmaids dresses? Bonus if they are Bill Levkoff since that's the one I seem to love the most.

    I was going to say Rusell's also.  Check their website for all the designers.  I know they had PS in Alfred Angelo.

    Check out Russells Bridal in Linden.  I can't remember if they carry Bill Levkoff, but they definitely carry a bunch of larger size samples.  Good luck!

    my girls are all wearing bill levkoff and we did get them from russells.  they were all able to choose their own dress in eggplant-any bill levkoff dress.  that being said they all found dresses they loved. my moh i let her pick any dress from any designer in an orhcid color and she did find a dress as well-but it wasnt bil levkoff it was another designer. ill text her and get back to you.  they have the dresses actually separated by designer so it was pretty easy

    I just went to (and purchased) my dresses at Russells this weekend.  I went with 2 of my bridesmaids, one who is a size 0 and the other who is a 14, and they were both able to try on a good number of dresses.  Their dresses ranged in size from 8-24, and everything in between...  We had a great experience, and between the 2 of them, they must have tried on 50 dresses!
    FYI, I ended up buying Alfred Angelo, and they do NOT charge extra for "plus size" dresses.
