If anyone is DREADING shopping for a plus size dress I cannot say enough good things about my the experience I had yesterday at David's Bridal in Aurora/Naperville with Anna.
I was DREADING dress shopping. I've pretty much gotten everything you need to do ahead of time (the big stuff at least) off my list except for the dress. Just could not think of anything else I wanted to do than have to trot around in an ill-fitting dress with a bunch of snobby sales people upset because they got the "plus sized" client.
But that was not the case at with Anna. I made my appt for a Monday morning first thing, figuring it wouldn't be crowded. It wasn't so we had a lot of time and space to go through the dresses I wanted to try on. And they were all really great. Not pushy at all, not over-complimentary in fake way ... just... nice.
And they had a good number of dresses in my size (24) I could try on and not have to clip like crazy.
I wound up liking 2 dresses a lot I have to choose over. I was expecting to MAYBE fit in one sample and MAYBE like one sample.
It was such a relief I can't even describe it. So I just wanted to share in case anyone else in the area is in my shoes. Get an appointment with ANNA on a not busy day if you can!
