Hey all! I'm getting married later this year and I'm looking for info on plus size friendly bridal/formal dress shops in the Chicagoland area!
I'm not very traditional and my wedding will be a small thing, so I don't necessarily need the whole extravagant experience, or even specifically a wedding dress. I care more about going somewhere that will have dresses that actually fit and are flattering! I'm around US size 20/22. Any recommendations are appreciated!
Brides By Young! They have a location in Schaumburg, IL. I haven't shopped there (not engaged) but they're plus size exclusive and they show their dresses on TikTok and they're so cute!!!
Honestly, if you have a David's Bridal around, give them a shot. They sell a wide range of sizes and they're reasonably priced. You might even catch a good sale.
When I got married, I called multiple smaller boutiques and shops in my area and asked what size they went up and had little luck finding shops that sold over a size 16. It was disheartening. The only plus size boutique around here was way out of my price range. I went to David's bridal and was fearful that they wouldn't sell my size, but I was really impressed by the selection and I found a beautiful corset back dress on the clearance rack in my size for $300.
Hey guys 👋. I live in Schaumburg. I was wondering where I can get decent quality party dresses or crop top/skirts nearby for under $40? I’m a bit curvy so hard to find party clothes for me. I’m going to a boat party. Thanks 😊
