Plus Size Bridal

Hi Ladies!
I was wondering if anyone has had a good experience with any bridal salons besides David's when looking for your gowns as a plus sized bride.  I definitely want to be able to try on my dress but it seems like so many stores just have small sample sizes.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!

    I went to the Macy's Bridal at the Cherry Hill Mall.  I was able to try on most gowns.  I think of the 20 I tried on, only 2 fit so poorly, I wouldn't leave the dressing room.  The ladies there are also all very nice.  They carry Demetrios bridal gowns and also have trunk sales semi-frequently.  So you can save 15% off the dress!

    I'm not sure what your budget is, I know three plus size brides who have used Kleinfeld's for their dresses but they all were between $1200-$2000. I was on the lower end of the plus sizes but I didn't find ANYTHING I liked anywhere else. The smaller bridal boutiques weren't very nice to me and places like Kelinfeld's or other ones were far too much for me. I actually used David's myself and got my dream dress... Not sure if you looked there or just don't want to go with them but I was resistant myself in the begining and ended up with a designer dress at under $1000 including alterations that I wish I could wear all the time! Good luck, it's frustrating but you WILL find it...

    Also if you don't mind traveling a lil, The Bridal Garden (not sure if there's any in Jersey, I am assuming there must be somewhere) in Brooklyn has designer gowns in all sizes that have been (I think) donated where all the proceeds or a portion of them go to charity (my sister got her dress there so I am not 100% on the details) but you might want to try them!

    The Bridal Suite in Hamilton NJ has a good amount of plus sized dresses to try on. I got my dress their and it was an amazing experience. I cant wait for it to come in so I can go back and try it on!!

    Not sure if you had any luck yet.  But Rienzi Bridal Shop in Vineland, NJ is amazing.  That is where I got my dress from.  They actually participate in the "Borrow A Bonny" program from Bonny Bridal.  You pay $50 to have a sample dress shipped to them to try on and if you purchase a dress the $50 goes toward your payment.  I actually didn't like the dress I ordered in in person and they started bringing me other dresses and the dress I originally saw on Bonny's website but thought it may not flatter me ended up being my dress.  I cried, and you know when you cry you've got the right one.  Their prices were EXCEPTIONALLY reasonable.
