  If you go for online purchase, you need to be very careful about the measurements. Most online dress dealers from China offer made-to-order service. You need to take your measurements professonally according to their measuring guide. Or you'd better check with the customer service in advance. If you are a plus size girl, the <a href="http://www.1dress.co.uk/wedding-dresses/plus-size-wedding-dresses.html" rel="nofollow">A-line wedding dress</a> is a great choice. And you'd better choose lace-up back which makes the bordice and waist parts adjustable. Good luck!

  [QUOTE]I am a bride to be with a tight, and I mean tight, budget.  My fiancee and I are the only ones paying for the wedding, and I have been trying to figure out the best way to get the dress I want at a price I can afford. So, in my adventures with Google, I stumbed across Kiss Dresses' website.  They have great prices (under $200 for a made to size plus size dress), and I am a little worried that I will get what I pay for so to speak.  As any one worked with them? Not only am I pluz size, I'm also 5 feet tall, so I know that trying on dresses is best, but it's going to be hard to get an accurate picture that way as well.  My plan is to have the "experience" at a local boutique, figure out what style looks best and then order it from the website.  I wanted to know if any fellow Knotters had any input? TIA!

  David's Bridal is having their $99 sale right now. They dont have a ton of plus sized dresses at that price point, but they do have at least one of every silhouette.

  I used inweddingdress.com and chose them becuase they do accept returns with 20% restock fee if you buy the sizes they have and NOT send in measurements That 20% was worth the risk.  The dress was perfect and I did have the alter the length, and my taylor did say it was the best China dress she has seen cause she said some brides have ran into nightmares.  I would suggest though you go try some on in different body styles so you know at least you will look good in it then make your choice.

  a number of women have had good luck with http://www.dressilyme.com/   From what I have read they recommend upgrading lace etc to get a slightly better made product, but they send you update pics as it is made for changes you might want etc...i have seen a couple dresses compared to designer originals and they are pretty good
