Yall I'm tripping and flipping out. I have an appt in April to go look for dresses.

Yall I'm tripping and flipping out. I have an appt in April to go look for dresses. I pulled up David's bridal where I'm located and have been looking at dresses online most of the dresses I see are hideous the only thing I like are the prices. I'm sure they may have some on the rack but I'm just worried I wont find what I particularly want especially for my body type right at this moment what I'm looking for and how I want it to look. I know I should try other stores but I just moved to Florida trying to step out my shell of being shy and exploring the big city lol any suggestions for plus size brides who may not make it to their goal weight before their wedding in 450 days...#paranoidAsh

    Hahaha you sound like me! On everything I find online I’m like “I need to see this on real people!!” while I scroll to the bottom of the page for comments.

    Hmm that's kind of far. There's a mall down here that has a store that sells wedding dresses. My sister got her wedding dress there. David's bridal wasn't terrible but their customer service wasn't the best. I would go there anyway because what they have in the store is not always what is online. Any boutique might be too much money. Idk what you're budget is, just saying.

    I agree. I went with DB first and didn’t like their selection. Plus I was not treated the best. Then I discovered Essence Of Australia and they have the most beautiful gowns! I ended up going to an actually bridal salon and was treated way better and the selection was amazing! I ended up picking a Watters dress but it was between that and an essence Of Australia.

    I got my dress from David's! I got it the day of when I went. I went in wanting one dress from there in particular, but unfortunately the woman who was helping me wasn't understanding (It was a Saturday afternoon so they were busy - wasn't her fault! I recommend NOT going on a Saturday afternoon if possible! lol). Finally, one of my bridesmaids went and got it for me (she used to work at a plus size bridal store!) and I ended up HATING it lol. I ended up finding a dress I had never even seen on their website or when I looked through their racks, as it was a girl next to me trying it on. Once she found her dress and said yes to it, she let me try on her second choice and it ended up becoming MY dress! Smiley smile

    So in the midst of that lol, I would recommend just going and trying it out! Definitely try to go on a random week night if possible, so that they can dedicate more time to you. I went with my bridesmaids and they were allowed to pick whatever dress they wanted to wear from Davids, and we went on a Sunday afternoon that wasn't really busy and they kept going off of what the girls were saying after each dress. If they liked part of it but not other parts, the woman would go and find similar styles. It was really nice, and since it wasn't as busy a few other workers actually helped my bridesmaids too. I had a really good experience with David's but DO NOT try to go when its busy!!! lol. You could always give it a try, and if it doesn't work then it doesn't work! No shame in that Smiley smile

    What part of Florida? I ask because I’m in South Florida and the options here for bridal boutiques are endless! The gables for example has over 5 bridal stores in one street only including David’s bridal. Get out of your comfort zone and you’ll find a ton of places for your body type.

    My dress came from David’s I was shocked because I wrote them off as an option. Don’t look online let the David bridal associate guide you you’ll be surprised!!! I was and I am in love with my dress. My dress came from a David’s but it’s not a David brand dress it’s a designer
