Honestly - David's Bridal. So many choices, most shouldn't be too expensive.

The problem with them is their sizing runs small. And the two dresses they had that I thought would work both only went to a 22. I'm a 24, and I'd probably be more like a 26 in their sizing.

[demiraks_world]

They don't have sizes bigger than 24? I find that hard to believe.

[philstar22]

It depends on the dress I think. The two I looked at that fit the color pallet and were a cut that would look good on me both only went to 22.

Target, believe it or not, has a few plus size bridesmaid dresses. This one goes to size 28, is $80 and comes in several colors:

If you look around the plus size section there might be a couple more, that just happened to be the first one that popped up.

eShakti. Reasonably priced, $7.50 extra for custom sizing, and if it's your first order there's a discount coupon. Definitely order while there's a sale, because there's nearly always a sale. Plus, the dresses have POCKETS!

I loved some of their dresses, but they don't have a lot of color options. My sister's color palette is "antique pastels" mostly pinks and champagne color. Most of their bridesmaid dresses were black or grey.

Is it possible to buy something in white and have it dyed? Not sure if it's cost effective but it's an idea. :-) you could also try Modcloth, though they don't do custom sizing as far as I know.

Thanks. This is an idea. We ended up finding something at Target, and if that doesn't work they messed up on my mother's dress and that one actually almost fits me and would just need a couple of doable alterations. And it is actually cute and in the right color pattern. So I think I'm going to be all right.

When my brother got married and his wife had a color palate of pinks and blushes I ended up going to Macy's and buying something there. On sale and with coupons it was pretty affordable.

Kiyonna has a couple -- they're not super bridesmaid-y but they fit the color scheme and maybe with a vintage vibe they'd work? There are usually coupon codes out there for at least 20% off, but maybe with Valentine's Day coming up you could get an even better deal.

Try Craigslist if you live in a metropolitan area. I found several plus size bridesmaid dresses there for cheap. If you are lucky you won't have to pay much for alterations. I just search plus dress or David's Bridal Plus.
