A2) Where can I find a wedding dress?
Big, Beautiful Bride Online Plus-Size Gown Resource is a comprehensive
listing of wedding gown designers who make plus sizes, includes their
size range, average prices, size charts (when available), and contact
information. The URL is: http://www.hepcatdesigns.com/bbb/Gownindex.html
One reader recommended the following book: *Bridal Gown Guide: Discover
the Dress of Your Dreams at a Price You Can Afford*, by Denise and Alan
Fields (Windsor Peak Press; ISBN: 1889392030)
Many regular bridal stores carry large sizes, and almost all stores can
order them. They may have only a limited selection of sizes in stock for
you to try on, so you may have to use your imagination to figure out how
the dress would look on you in particular. Sometimes just putting your
arms through the dress and holding it in front of you will give you an
idea of what it would be like.
Note that wedding dress designers do not size their dresses
consistently.
It's very common to have dresses tailored once they arrive. (This is
common even for women who wear smaller sizes.) If the dress turns out to
be too small, they can split the side seam of the bodice and sew in a
few inches of extra fabric. This is hardly noticeable, even when you are
looking for it. They may be able to get lace trim that matches the rest
of the dress and use that to make it even less obvious.
Nearly all bridesmaid's dresses go to at least size 24, and some go
larger. Many of these dresses are fairly formal and can be ordered in
white or off-white, so may work as a wedding dress.
Many advertisers in bridal magazines list what sizes they make. Also
look through bridal books. *Bridal Bargains* and *The Bridal Gown Guide*
by Denise and Alan Fields print the size charts of major designers along
with style numbers and suggested retail prices.
Another way to buy a wedding dress is through Discount Bridal Service
(Phone 800-874-8794; web site http://www.discountbridalservice.com).
They can save you 20-40% on the cost of your gown. You must know the
gown you want and your measurements. You call their 800 number, and they
give you the number of their local rep. The rep takes your info and you
order the gown thru her, and it is sent to your home. It is important
that you measure correctly because you are stuck with the gown you
order. No returns. DBS can order from any bridal manufacturer, and they
are good at tracking down dresses even if you don't know the
manufacturer or style number: a dress description or advertisement page
number (like Brides Magazine for example) may be all you need to get a
price quote. The local rep can offer seamstress referrals. They've got
manufacturer sizing charts to help you. Bridal manufacturers *do* size
differently from regular dress sizes, so don't be surprised if you need
a size larger than you thought to fit it you correctly. Order via your
measurements...not dress size!

allowances, but now they are adding them in for you. They have

(UK 28 = US 26 = Euro 56)
Women's shoes
For U.S. size, add 1.5 to U.K. size.
(UK 8 = US 9.5)
Men's suits and coats
U.K. and U.S. sizes are the same.
