HELP finding stores with size 14+ bridesmaid dresses

I have two bridesmaids that wear size 14+.  We are having trouble finding a store that carries a normal selection of bridesmaid dress in size 14+.  Every place we go to has a limited selection.  We even have had the sale clerk insist they try on a size 8, just to get feel of what the dress would look like.  Yeah, right!  Like that is going to give you an actually feel of what the dress will look like.  I could really use some suggestions on some local stores.

    Are you actually looking for larger samples? That may be tough. We got dresses at Trudy's in Campbell, and two of the BMs were 14+, but I think the samples were size 10.

    Yeah, we are looking for samples.  It's hard to know what looks good on them, unless they try it on.

    I am a size 14 plus and I found it really hard finding bridal boutiques that carry samples in any other size but an 8 or smaller.
    I did get really good service at priscilla of boston in santana row - san jose, ca.

    While the samples were small, they really were patience with ensuring everyone was comfortable when trying on dresses and took their time.

    hope that helps.

    My friend had this issue. David's Bridal has tons of larger sample sizes. I know that Siri in SF also does larger sizes. I went to Bella Bridesmaid on Union St in SF and I think they carry larger sizes.
