Plus size bride here! Curvy size 18/20, wanting to hear others experiences trying on wedding dresses! Pictures of your dress too! I've read some horror stories and I'm terrified to try on dresses. I'm going shopping in Philly next weekend, any advice is MUCH appreciated!

    I hated David's Bridal. I went there and I was so discouraged because even though they claimed to have my size in stock, they only had one out of the 6 dresses I tried on in my size. All of the others they had were 1-2 sizes smaller than my size and it was hard to picture what it would look like on my when it actually fit. They would keep making excuses on the things that I didn't like about the dress by saying it wasn't my size and kept trying to push me to just order it in my size. I went to another shop that I LOVED. I would advise on going to a smaller shop where you make an appointment. We were the only ones in the store and I felt SO comfortable. I'm not used to trying on things in front of other people, but managed to get a dress that I loved and with a little help from the store owner. She added sleeves because I'm uncomfortable with my arms and she can accommodate you like a bigger shop can't.

    OP I highly recommend checking out anywhere that sells Maggie Sottero dresses they have a great selection for all sizes and specific dresses made with bigger sized girls in mind. I love my dress!!!!
