Today, I went shopping for a wedding dress at a fancy store. The proprietor took one look at me, said they don't have any dresses large enough for me, and asked me to leave. No wonder my self-confidence is in the gutter. FML

Ok, OP here. The first woman I asked did not even attempt to size me, just sent me to the 'plus' section. When I got to the plus section, she did not size me either, but looked me up and down and asked me what size t-shirt I wear. I usually wear a medium when I wear stretchy tees, large when I don't. She told me they will not have anything in my size in white ever. I should not go other places, either, I should just call and that way I don't have to be disappointed everywhere I go. Thank you guys for your words of encouragement, but I think I'm just going to not get a dress.

I was treated very badly when I bought my dress. I called the headquarters and told them I would call the news and they gave me my dress for free.

She's probably just jealous because she's not getting married. Always a wedding dress seller, never a wearer.

This had happened to my wife as well. Her anxiety has got to the point as to where she doesn't want to leave the house. Anyway OP I'm terribly sorry you had to go through that. And congrats on the engagement.

You should talk to the head corporation. Everyone is beautiful and no one deserves to be treated that way! Brush those people off because they aren't worth your time or energy anyways! :)

"They hurt my feelings" isn't grounds for suing.

It's called discrimination. Get the name of the store employee, go to the website and file a complaint. I got a jerk fired doing that.

#78: It's one thing to be told you're fat; it's another thing entirely when you're asked to leave their establishment because of it. That's a textbook case of discrimination.

This is bulls*it. There is plenty of shops with wonderful dresses for plus sized women, and as well for normal sizes like Medium or Large. Those are NORMAL sizes, not plus sizes. Head up, girl, and look up David's Bridal webshop. Don't give up and get a dress. You will look wonderful on your important day.

Sorry to hear! Reminds me of a terrible experience I had trying to get my bridesmaid dress from a David's Bridal (which I recommend never going to.) Basically after being told there were no dresses in the colour I needed at the store (or apparently any of their stores) I was told they'd have to make one, and after everything was measured up I was told that if THEY messed up on anything including measurements, colour, whatever, that it would be me the customers fault and on top of paying extra for a new dress to be made already I'd have to pay for another new one if they messed up. Best of luck with the wedding and I hope you find a stunning dress OP you deserve it!

I have a feeling that was just that particular David's Bridal. I had the complete opposite experience when I went dress shopping with my sister for her wedding. We are both what is considered plus size, with me being larger than her. The sales associates were polite and professional. They just asked our sizes and showed us tons of dresses. She found a gorgeous off-white (her choice) dress to be married in, and I found a beautiful wine colored Maid of Honor dress, which is surprised since I don't like dresses. They had to send her shoes, my niece's shoes, and my niece's dress off to be dyed, and when the shoes came back the wrong color they rushed new ones out to be dyed for free. I wouldn't write the company off just because of one bad experience. It might be a store-level thing with them being complete assholes.

Op do me a favor and get a dress... Don't let the rude selfless lives of other people ruin your special day, buy a dress enjoy life and remember we're all different in life but there are some who may look "beautiful" but envy your gentle and sweet heart...

I think I will. I actually calls a couple of places today. If worst comes to worst, I am making a white dress. We're having a renaissance wedding, so homemade is an option.

There's a website called arcanelore that does period clothing custom made, beautiful stuff, their wedding section was gorgeous last time I went to drool over the page. There's no way you're out of size range for a talented seamstress.
