Look for the designer Alfred Angelo. Hewas one of the first to make wedding dresses for the plus-sized woman and his dresses are reasonably priced. The dresses are beautiful. Here in Sacramento, he has a store with just his dresses. As a matter of fact, I am going there this weekend because my daughter is getting married in May and she is a size 26.  Make some calls to bridal shops to see if anyone carries his dresses.

Much luck to you....

Try David's Bridal. That's where I purchased my wedding dress in 2001 and it was a size 26. It was $249.00, so they have reasonably priced dresses. Good luck and congrats!!!

There are also very reasonably priced custom to your measurement dresses to be had on ebay.

I bought my gorgeous wedding dress from an ebay seller for $250 and it was per-fect. Like it was made for me, oh that's because it was. It takes a leap of faith to go that route but I was totally willing to make it.

You can try Milanoo.com.  They have free shipping sales sometimes, so just keep an eye out.  I didn't buy my wedding dress from them, but did get all 3 of my girls their bridesmaids dressed custom made through them.  They came out BEAUTIFUL!  They look like something you'd find at David's Bridal or Alfred Angelo.  They can customize any of their designs to your liking, too.

I requested they make the bridesmaid dressed with a corset strap backing, so it could adjust for any weight gain or loss that my girls might've gone through.  I also had the dress made shorter than their design.

They have beautiful wedding dresses on their site, and from the bridesmaids dresses I received, I'd say their wedding dresses should be beautiful, too.  They run anywhere from $70-$200.

Brides International.  They have a store in Los Angeles and another in Huntington Beach I believe.  They have a huge selection of plus size gowns (up to a large size 32) and are very reasonably priced.  At least they were 10 years ago and I believe they still are.  I highly recommend them.  Good luck and congratulations.
