Plus Size

Believe it or not, JC Penneys has a lot of plus size dresses in their formal department. A while back, I had to shop for a formal evening wedding and JC Penneys had many sized 16 and 18 formal dresses. They were not up in the plus size department, but down with all of the other formal dresses.

Good Luck

I am a 16 and shop at torrid all the time. you can go to Torrid.com and there is lots of dresses and you can visit there store in either town east mall in Mesquite or The parks mall in arlington!

Torrid or David's Bridal...I've had the best luck with both of those places.

I have had excellent luck at JcPenney of all places.

Avenue will have some formal stuff by November.

I have a black Issac Mizrahi dress that goes all the wat to the floor that I am selling for $40 it has been used once. If you want pics please let me know and I will send them to you. Hope it may help !

I've had great luck at Lane Bryant, Macy's and Dillard's.

Dress Barn is great for party, formal, and professional wear.

Dillards has a very nice plus size formal section. You can also go to Ross but they have a more limited selection.

There is a wedding shop on Main St. in old town Lewisville, I am a sixteen so I know they carry that size. They have a lot to choose from. I can't remember the name, but they have a display out side of the store, it is before you hit mill st.

David's bridal has an enormous selection of formal wear for those on the thick side (me included!!). They even have a clearance section. I bought a formal dress a couple months ago for under $40 and it is georgeous!! I was shocked and snatched it up the second I spotted it!

you can also try David's Bridal, they carry lots of styles up to 24/26 and you can order if you need to.
