A: Bridal shops carry samples in a variety of sizes and the sales staff should be expert at selecting the sample size that will give you the best idea of how a gown will look. If you are a plus size bride or are worried about the number of gowns that will fit you then contact a few shops and ask them what sizes they carry. It could be a deciding factor when trying to work out who you would like to visit.
Often the sales assistant will pin or clip dresses to fit your shape and some even use satin covered sponges to fill out the sample dress if it is too big. It is the sales consultant’s job to dress you and show you how a dress will fit you in your size. When trying on don’t be too disappointed if the dresses don’t all fit you like a glove. When a dress is ordered in your size and has had its alterations it will look amazing!
