    Congrats to your friend!  I am plus size and I purchased my dress at Priscilla of Boston in Short Hills - they make the dress according to your body and measurements. Not sure if it's required for all dresses, but I am being fitted for a muslin that my dress will be made from. I also know Russells in Linden usually carries more plus sizes than other bridal stores. Hope this helps. :]

    I went to Sales Unlimited in Bayville and they had a LOT of plus size samples to try.  I ended up getting my dress at Park Avenue Bridals in Verona.  I like the selection at Sales Unlimited better, it just so happens that Park Avenue Bridals had 1 dress that I absolutely fell in love with. They are both definitely worth a look.  Also Antoinette Rose in Brick and Belmar, I'm pretty sure they carry plus size samples.

    Ditto for Park Avenue Bridals! I got my gown there too and they had a bunch of plus size gowns in all different styles. I had also gone to Russles, which had a nice selection as well. Park Avenue just had more and carried the designer I wanted.

    When I called up Park Ave, they were rude to me and said they only had a handful on dresses.. but I COULD  hold up the smaller size dresses  to my body and see how it would look....

    I guess I got someone on a bad day- I never went in to try on dresses.

    Arlene's Bridal in Bloomfield had a ton of plus size samples. My dress ended up being a size 20, and when I tried on samples at Arlene's, they were mostly all one or two sizes big on me.. and not one that I tried on was too small. So I would definitely suggest she check it out.

    I had a horrible experience there too...just because the woman helping me had no clue, I showed her pics of what I was looking for, and everything she pulled was completely different (I printed out dresses I had seen on their website). They told me they didn't have any of those samples in the store, and i had printed like 8 or 9 of them. I also told her my budget of $800 and she wasn't able to show me ONE dress that was $800 or less, except for some random sample gown they pulled from the back that was falling apart. I didn't end up trying on any dresses at my appointment and would NEVER recommend that store.

    I agree about Arlene's Bridal in Bloomfield - I had a great experience there. I actually ended up getting a discontinued dress right off the rack from there 14 months in advance because I feel in love and couldn't beat the price!!! They have a plus size section with a variety of different options and I worked will Allie who was fantastic!!!

    Ditto Park Ave (ask for Patty or Amanda) and Arlene's. I got the bridesmaids dresses at Arlene's, they're fantastic there. I know the two ladies I mentioned at Park Ave are amazing, not sure about other sales people.

    Where can I try on plus size dresses in Southern New Jersey? Besides David's Bridal?
