plus size bridal?

Hi you all– I can always count on alt.fashion in the past for stuff, so
I thought I'd consult you at this time.
I'm a second time bride with a distinct dislike for looking like a
frosted buttercream cake. I'm also short 5'2" and a size 16.
Where should I look, online or off for a nice dress with no train and
with sleeves or a jacket....
I'm in Chicago, and planning a spring 07 wedding!

I'd stick with Field's, Nordstrom, or other established shops for a nice
evening suit. I think even Penney's in Lombard has a nice evening
selection for mid–sized. If you find a dress you like and it doesn't fit
right, have it altered. Or you can start there, with a seamstress.
If you're willing to take a chance on mail–order, I've dealt with the
following shop twice and the products were EXCELLENT!

Good luck and congratulations.
