Bridal Suit Centereach had a lot of plus sizes there for me to try on. I felt great and they were very knowledgeable about what looked good on me! Ask for Amy! Look online for Emme and Alfred Angelo dresses they have very nice plus size dresses.

to try on.

Try looking on alfredangelo.com. There is a nice selection of plus size dresses. I got my dress at RKBridal in Manhattan and they had a nice selection of plus size gowns to try on from a bunch of different designers.
Good Luck

Most stores that do not carry plus size dresses will let you try on the dress anyway because most designers carry plus sizes. Here is my gown by Victoria's Bridal .

I think my friend said she got hers at Adrienne's in East Islip, or was it the other store in East Islip?

Try East Islip.

I would try Davids and I got my gown from RK bridal-I would try the wedding center in commack- they have larger gowns- im not plus but i have alot of breast and hips and ass - and i was getting really frustrated- i dont know if you want to chance this but maybe you can go to a seamstress and get measured and then order offline one size higher than your measurements- anyway Good Luck

Paloma Blanca has a line called the "Diva" collection that has beautiful gowns! I think Lilletts carries them.

Re: Need your Help, I am having a hard time finding beautiful Plus size wedding gowns to try on

I got mine at David's Bridal!!!! They have beautiful plus-size dresses. Just don't go to David's in Brooklyn. I could tell you too many horror stories about them, most having to do specifically with plus-sized brides. But any other location will be wonderful. My MOH lives in NJ, so we all took a trip out there to the Freehold location, and we couldn't be happier. I've heard many good things about the Long Island locations as well. For a "sneak peak" at some of their dress, go to David's Bridal

Good luck!!! And don't let anyone tell you that a plus-sized bride can't be a beautiful bride!!! (I heard that in a few smaller boutique-type stores I went dress shopping in.

Re: Need your Help, I am having a hard time finding beautiful Plus size wedding gowns to try on

RK Bridal had a bunch and so did Macy's Bridal Salon in Manhasset. Your best bet is to call ahead and ask if they have samples in your size. If you have a dress in mind ask about it.

What I also did was try on in smaller sizes. They didn't zipper up but I got them on at least to see what they looked like in the front. But then I also was choosing sleeveless so I didn't have to worry about sleeves that were too tight.

Good luck I know it's a pain but you'll find a dress!!

I got mine at Renata's on Montauk Highway in Lindenhurst. They were great and had a huge selection. One line they carry, and that what mine is is an Emme.
