A small list of bridal shops that carry plus size samples...Exciting!

Hey Everyone-

I've gotten really down lately because I find a dress online that I would LOVE to try on, search for stores within a 100 mile radius and no stores carry that sample or really any plus size samples. The two places I tried on dresses (Pronovias in NYC and Julie Allen in Newtown) were pretty ok.  Pronovias had 3 dresses because they're rotating stock to sell the old and stock the new. Then at Julie Allen, the only dress I really loved, we just held up to me because it was a size 10 and I am not.

So, I've found these stores that seem to have a good selection of plus size samples:

-Stylish Impressions
254 Main Street
Farmington, CT 06032-3620
(860) 676-9990
-----------------
-Harold's Formal Wear
19 Elm Street
New Haven, CT 06510-2007
(203) 562-4156
------------------
-Julie Allen
154 South Main St
Newtown, CT 06470
(203) 426-4378
-----------------
-Pronovias
14 east 52nd street with 5th and Madison
New York, NY 10022
(212) 897-6393
----------------
-Kleinfeld's
110 West 20th Street
New York, NY 10011
(646) 633-4300


***Hopefully this is helpful. Happy hunting ladies***

    Thanks for posting....as a former plus size girl, I remember how frustrating it was trying to fit into "sample sizes"...I'm typically a 12/14 and I was barely fitting into those sizes!!! Thanks again for posting this!

    The Bridal Mall in Niantic CT carries larger sizes. I was browsing a couple weeks ago and I think they went up to size 22, maybe larger, and they were very nice there. I didn't have an appointment, was just on vacation and stopped in, and they let me look around and try on a dress and gave my 2 free magazines on my way out (the NY Knot was one).

    I got my dress at Stylish Impressions and they were fantastic! Definitely check them out!!
  • I'm a size 24 and Bridal Bells Boutique in Berlin, CT had an amazing selection of bridal, bridesmaid and mother dresses I could actually get on. My mom is also plus size and she was afraid to go shopping but she found 6 gowns she loves here and now she is happy cause she actually has a choice.
