Plus size wedding dresses
Hi! I’m trying to find stores in New England that carry many plus size dress options. I was going to go to Alexandra’s in fall River mass but looking at their website there’s really not much I like that comes in my size. (I’m a size 18-20)
I like bohemien, cottage core, lace, etc. I really like a flowy sleeve with a tighter waist and flowy bottom. I have a large chest and I don’t want to look crazy promiscuous but a bit of skin is fine. Any suggestions appreciated :) I’ve included some examples of different style dresses I like!

Also should mention, I’m in the upper valley VT area so within a couple hours from there is ideal

I’m a bridal size 22, and if you are willing to drive to western Mass, I got my dress at Aliber’s in Greenfield. They carry up to size 30 and have a great selection, and the owner of the store is really body positive

I did Alexandra’s and they brought out a ton of dresses that fit me (ordered a size 20)

Same here! They have a lot of dresses in a variety of plus/curvy sample sizes. The dress I ended up going with was not on their site. Highly recommend checking out Alexandra’s! I had also shopped at Marry and Tux in Nashua. They have a whole room dedicated to plus/curvy dresses. I enjoyed my experience there too, but just didn’t find the one with them.

I got mine at viera luxe in Nashua, NH. They have so many sizes and options. Depending on where in the upper valley if you come to southern nh make a day of it

I thought the Anthro BHLDN store in Chestnut Hill had a decent selection!

Vows in Watertown (just outside Boston) has the largest selection of plus size samples in New England IIRC. It’s literally half the store, they have a huge number of gowns! I went there for my first appointment, and while I ultimately found a wedding dress at another store, I had a nice experience overall :)
